Hi @Jackson1, no this is not true. The interim Timms Report has been released which explains what they have been doing. Here's a link to our discussion about it

Nope, even Labour wouldn't be that stupid, there'd be riots.

They can't replace cash payments with vouchers because every person has individual needs, and many of those needs can't be met using vouchers. In many cases, the required services, equipment, or support simply cannot be obtained with vouchers.l

facts won't stop governments committed to ideology. otherwise anything obviously bad wouldnt happen, like Brexit.

It will happen in the within next 20 years I think…. But I don't know what

vouchers you would get for epilepsy, depression or being housebound ? but it won't stop them from doing it sadly
