The Universal Credit Bill becomes law. Here are the changes to disability benefits you need to know

It would be David Lammy !

If it is true that racism is a mental illness/ distortion/delusion, I can’t help but wonder what else Nigel Farage has yet to be diagnosed with…

Re:jw68,

I'm afraid I've come to the conclusion that it is what people want. This country is about the haves and have not. The ones that have(jobs that is) couldn't care less about the ones that don't. This government and the previous ones think they made a mistake bringing into existence working tax credit and uc. They think they now have to get rid of them benefits and others, to get back to how it was. Ironically Labour started all this by getting rid of old system and introducing esa and the like. It was called invalidity benefit etc. Labour have only just started. Getting rid of rayner has just prolonged the procedure. Mark my words. Starmer needs to go. But he won't. Labour mps won't get rid of him, they're to frightened of losing there gravy train.

Isn't this what this is really all about? Be honest with yourself, you must know it's true, not a single one of those 600 odd mps are in it for any of us have not.

Hi cherry 70,

Re:your earlier your post about farage with the garage (mouth,) he almost reminds of a kid I once knew at school.He was new to us. Bit of a novelty in fact. He spoke ridiculously in 2 different ways, 1st he talk quite eloquently. almost posh. But the more he spoke, he would eventually lapse into "northern speak". Quite bizarre. Couldn't help but laugh at him and his speech defect. It eventually transpired that his dad was a drug runner and his mum spent her life looking after him and the kid…charming! He tried so hard get rid of his family and past, by constantly putting down folk who he considered quote, people beneath him, unqoute. Now.. My question is not really about race etc. But can someone please tell me the difference between the boy at school, farage, starmer and all the other mp's who sit in the house of commons and play god with decisions…when the fancy takes them that is, in other words when they could be bothered to show up!! In my humble opinion when I was talking of the boy and his past my mind immediately goes to starmer. The boy who grew up to be pm and his dad was a tool maker. I since been told that's not all the story. Apparently his dad owned the tool making business. He should read the tale of icarus.. I digress

Hi, reading whatThe post, I agree with what you said about Ian Duncan Smith being the architect of uc and esa, but it was originally an idea by the previous Labour government (Blair and brown) who laid the foundations for esa. It was tories who took it over and made it more elaborate and Duncan Smith introduced uc. bit puzzled by the end of your post though.do you mean starmer was totally unaware of Ian Duncan Smith when he introduced uc? What I say is Smith adapted his inheritance from labour(primative form of esa) and adjusted it. Fast forward 20 odd years starmer attempts to do the same thing with uc. Just because starmer wasn't around doesn't mean he isn't planning. But as for collaborators, who are the collaborators?they can only be like minded politicians. We are seeing it again right before our eyes. Politicians leaving their parties to join other parties after being with there original parties for years. Finally showing their true colours! Good riddance to them. That's what I say. starmer joined the Labour Party. Maybe because the tories didn't want him. I suspect the reason was starmer would have been a small fish in a big pond(at the time). No way could starmer accept that. It would do folk well to listen to starmer today. All he talks about is money. ask yourself, money for who? Already folk are inflating the amount of money. Yesterday it 50 billion today it's 100 billion. Absolute rubbish. Of there are collaborators, there always is. That's the transparency you, I, and all the others will never know. Mainly because it doesn't never has, never will exist.
