Every head of dwp minister seems to sing from the same old broken record - it’s annoying as hell

Think my takeaway is that labour dwp ministers concern on disabled claimants well-being is a bit of an afterthought in their ‘get lots of the disabled into employment’ action plan

And I don’t think there’s a lot of goodwill towards labour in the disabled community right now………I think a few won’t want to jump hoops if it helps labours stats out of bad feeling and stubbornness if that makes sense

Labour need to go back to the drawing board in terms of communication of things concerning disabled community - the stress they are causing some is unacceptable

my bet would be about a fortnight after budget (mid to late November)

There’s enough happening on autumn budget day……..don’t think I could handle the white paper the same day…….the info overload would be cruel!

I am not seeing any compassion from this Labour government for the population.

Tbh, in respect of welfare of the population, I haven't even noticed the join where the Tories left off and Labour began.

Therefore I would not imagine they will consider it 'cruel' to overload people with information on Budget Day.

On the contrary, Budget Day is the ideal day for them to bury the bad news of their intention to continue just as the Tories would have done i.e. further demonise people with disabilities.

On Budget Day, most people will be too busy focusing on the impact on their own taxes, pensions etc. to give a thought to the impact on anyone else including those who have disabilities.
