Chancellor: "We will build a Britain where those who can work, will work"

politicans can say what they want

However a disabled person working is often out of our hands

Employers are being bombarded with the workers right bill, a 1-2% increase in employee ni contribution (paid by employer) and a minimum wage hike of at least 6%+

Disabled ppl weren’t a attractive hire for a significant number of employers before labour came into power in July…………they will be even less keen after tomorrow I imagine

So unless Kendall plans to blackmail employers to hire more disabled or force disabled into zero hour positions or self employment (which with the uc minimum income floor and not technically being in labour’s definition of a ‘working person’ (what with not getting a regular payslip🙄) looks less viable an option by the week) then honestly this labour big push to get more disabled into work is kind of DOA!

plus you’d hope human rights quarters will have things to add once we’ve hit officially conformation and not just sound bites
