They are panicking because they now reform will do good in local elections and take their seats.

I'm more worried about the far right getting in 5 years time. I think the far right, will get rid of any welfare all together

They say that they want to do that, i don't think they'll be able to legally get away with it. If someone is in between jobs, they need money to heat their homes, buy food to eat and pay bills. To get rid of welfare was cause devastating destitution.
if there is a policy that is controversial, who is there to reign the government in,if they get too big for their boots?

What is not in dispute, however, is that the DWP predicts that around 457,000 people would be affected by the proposals by 2029, while theOffice for Budget Responsibilityestimates that just 15,400 of them – around one in 30 – will find paid work as a result.And those figures, published in April this year, were not available to people responding to the DWP’s consultation.This is very important as it is correctly sourced, if the prediction is that with support 15000 people will find work, then why is there plans to reclassify nearly half a million people?
Also of interest is that the DWP did this consultation before doing any kind of impact assessment. Whilst I cant see the case getting anywhere, I am glad someone has at least initiated it.0 -
Reform wants to come out of ECHR and no benefits

If it is reform you are talking about they are not far right. Far right is what the nazi party was in Germany. They have not said they would get rid of welfare, they want people who are fit and able to work.

Good morning @Catherine21. It's important to remember that the media often puts a spin on things or downplays issues. When they call it just 'bad backs and joint issues,' it can make people think that those affected don’t really need support from the DWP. In reality, these conditions can be very painful and limit people's ability to work or increase their support needs, so the help from DWP is really important.

Yes I have terrible joint issues which is autoimmune. It effects my lower back, feet, wrists fingers, knees, neck, shoulders, and now legs. It's joint hypermobility syndrome which also effects digestive system, fatigue, effects gums, headaches. In pain all the time

To cut costs as always.
In 2029 we could have another government and so begins all the uncertainty again.
It's always been about saving money. Never about actually helping.

Repeal the equality act, leave the ECHR, reduce worker's rights, they don't believe in mental health issues, they think most people who are disabled are faking it. Remove the Health and Safety Laws
