absolutely disgraceful, so if you feel you can't work you've basically decided to be "written off"
what sort of way is that to talk?

Paul McNamara: But you’re still looking at a massive reduction in the welfare bill. The Resolution Foundation says that more than 400,000 people could lose as much as £400 a month. That will put them into poverty. You’ll be responsible for putting people into poverty.
Liz Kendall: Those were the Conservatives’ proposals, not ours.
Paul McNamara: But you’re still going to shed the £1.3 billion from the bill?
Liz Kendall: We will bring forward our own proposals, which start with the very different premise, which is believing in the equal rights of disabled people, including to work.
this is interesting

That's the only problem i have with this poster. It gives off Arbeit macht frei vibes.
Note from moderator; Ironside is talking about the actual poster Nightcity posted.1 -
I've not taken it like that at all. Many disabled people think if they have a disability or a new health condition, they're instantly written off from working life and Labour want to make sure the option to work is there for them. That's how I've taken it.1 -
Well lets see if they can find us all a job including me.

They want to apply new rules to new applicants..the conservatives wanted to change the eligibility rules and take away mobility issues, continence problems and wether the jobs could pose a danger to a claimant...Labour now say they will do their own consultation..no doubt they read the 16k responses to the Conservative one...the idea that they will respect extremely ill people must be in doubt since they have already declared vast savings will be made..that's before the new consultation or rules.. stinks of fish and political **** to me

Ironside, when I first read this I thought you meant Nightcity and my heart sank! I hope no other member misinterprets your comment but do you see what I mean?

Will they still have the system where you can do an MR as seems to be handing a lot of responsibilities to job centre and councils ?? I don't trust them I did read from Conservatives taking substantial risk out will still be something in place but only for extreme cases who knows in ten years will thier be a welfare state

I'll edit it, just to clarify they meant the poster, not the person who posted the comment. 😆

Albus, while we've got you here unless you've snuck off for the evening…
Every notification today for this thread tells me 'page not found' and I think oh oh, we've done it again 🙃 but it's still open in discussions and I breathe another sigh of relief. Is this thread on special measures or something?

You're all a great bunch. Sorry for any misunderstanding caused, but i was referring to the image that @Nightcity posted.
I'd love to know exactly who designed this poster. It's good that Liz Kendall wants to reform the DWP to help people and reduce the resentment that is associated with the DWP.
Describing people who can't work as a write off, doesn't help with thier image at all. To reform the DWP, they need to think about the language that is used.
