@ShockatAdam Evidently you operate differently in the UK. Here he would get nothing. Is that why for the first time in British History the UK welfare bill now exceeds income tax collected from those who work?

£200 a month. That’s what families could lose under new Universal Credit changes. 3M disabled people rely on the health top up. But under Labour, families are being pushed to choose between vital care and simply making ends meet. When will the government stop punishing the most vulnerable?

@simonmaginn @2hrTV The real secondary issue is Labour killing jobs with the first budget (nat Insur re business’s etc for exampld) and disincentivising work with the second budget (extra tax on wages) while reforming welfare to put people into work being contradictory.

@Crofter1798 @2hrTV No, all new claimants for LCWRA will now get half what existing claimants get, whether or not any fantasy job suddenly appears and their disability magically 'aligns' with an employer's demands. It will drive disabled people deeper into poverty.

UK disability benefit cuts New applicants for the health top-up to Universal Credit to receive half of the current rate whilst cost of living rises. If you lose your benefit and reapply, you get the lower rate. Thousands will be pushed into poverty. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@simonmaginn @2hrTV But as you said, ‘non-eligible people claim the benefit, their claims should of course be denied’ and the benefit bill will align with this and is not a cut in their benefits but denial of claim. They will be in employment with the accruing advantages not attained on welfare

@Crofter1798 @2hrTV @premnsikka Whether they can do any work of any kind, whether any suitable job vacancy exists and whether their disability can be accommodated by any employer is all in the realm of the hypothetical. What's actual - real - is a cut in the money they need to survive now.

@simonmaginn @2hrTV @premnsikka Not a cut Simon, benefits bill will align with people moving in to work. Work brings many advantages to individuals inc improved self esteem, social networking, skills dev, social networking, job & wages progression, etc they miss out on welfare. Not ToryLab rhetoric but fact.

@Crofter1798 @2hrTV @premnsikka Cutting people's benefits doesn't 'incentivise', it punishes. 'Consigned to a lifetime on welfare' is just ToryLab rhetoric. Talk to disability charities about this.

@simonmaginn @2hrTV @premnsikka Evidently as was pointed out by Gov at this critical stage in their lives to get them into employment with supports from the different schemes if necessary rather than being consigned to a lifetime on welfare which does nothing for them

@Crofter1798 @2hrTV @premnsikka If non-eligible people claim the benefit, their claims should of course be denied. Cutting the benefit for *all* new claimants doesn't achieve that or anything like it. It penalises any and all new claimants, the overwhelming majority of whom will be claiming legitimately.

@simonmaginn @2hrTV @premnsikka You have jumped in missing the point. The systemic approach backed by expert input evaluated a large number not to be eligible & so the cut. Those genuinely unable to work remain unaffected. It’s having a disabilty but able to work (as many do) or unable. No disappearing acts.

@Crofter1798 @2hrTV @premnsikka LCWRA is for people who can't work due to disability. Cutting their money doesn't magically make their disability go away. None of this is about 'incentives'. It's about driving disabled people deeper into poverty.

@ionafyfe Yeah. HMRC. So the person who never worked a day keep their winter fuel allowance and those who worked, paid for their state pension and a private pension not to be a burden on the state get it taken away. That’s a record to be proud of.

ok but it was tireless work from OTHER parties to convince YOUR party to abolish the two-child limit x

@LynVenables It’s unfortunate you can’t afford a dentist and it’s faced by many. Equality has no doubt steered Gov that all pay for dentistry with minimal exemptions

@premnsikka Workers want more claimant deaths & Govts like killing disabled.Half current rate will speed poverty &deaths more.Todays rate as prices up,& 1 unexpected bill,I start to hungry to compensate.But2nd misfortune/bill.Now chipped tooth,can't afford dentist.Poverty's fast already!

@2hrTV @premnsikka @simonmaginn A systemic approach backed by expert input evaluated a large not to be eligible and so the cut. You certainly wouldn’t condone those able to work but won’t work living on weifare

@premnsikka @simonmaginn It's disgraceful. And the DWP just seem to flip a coin to decide if you are disabled or ill. I wouldn't put it past them to systematically find everyone fit just so they can pay them half as much when they inevitably have to reinstate their benefits. It's disgusting.

@Villa19UTV @Keir_Starmer Kier has been very generous to the British people lifting the two child benefit cap, extra £18billion on welfare, free breakfast clubs and school meals, etc - well maybe only some of the British people and not all who pick up the bill

@Keir_Starmer You’ve done fick all to help the British ppl on cutting fuel duty the sooner your out the better counting down the days

I welcome the ceasefire agreement reached overnight, which will bring a moment of relief to the region and the world. Together with our partners we must do all we can to support and sustain this ceasefire, turn it into a lasting agreement and re-open the Strait of Hormuz.

@SteveCo12420968 @UKLabour Very unlikely taxes being lowered when Labour just added another £18billion to the welfare bill and the total cost of welfare exceeds that collected in income tax

@UKLabour Lower our taxes and do not put fuel duty up you already take a massive e chunk

From today, millions of workers across the UK will benefit from strengthened rights in the workplace.

@housingdrama @OntLiberal @BonnieCrombie Whilst the CDB eligibility criteria are appropriate, it overlooked that it should only be payable on having worked and paid working wages tax and this omission needs rectified @CQualtro @fordnation

@ZacharyTrue @OntLiberal @BonnieCrombie #liberal issued $0 of their 2020 #canadadisabilitybenefit It would meet #canada 's poverty level line #Ontario odsp should end, replaced by CDB with Rx & dental coverage

I am proud to share that an @OntLiberal government under @BonnieCrombie will double ODSP. Doug Ford’s Conservatives said it’s an “unrealistic plan”. Yet, they are happy to spend $1.9 billion to get beer into corner stores a year early. #onpoli #Nepean #bellscorners #barrhaven

@JanetdaisyJanet Mileage restrictions would be common in leasing and aligning motabilty to same equalises and reduces overall costs. Should be no issues with that

@Chris_McClem After using this service for 35 years I’ve saw a huge difference down the years 😢

Mileage restrictions would be punitive & unworkable for us. We live in a rural area in the north west & have regular hospital appointments in Belfast & elsewhere, school travel & family life. Yet we are totally reliant on a wheelchair accessible vehicle. It's very worrying 😟

@kezza1235 @UKLabour It certainly isn’t. Gives visibility like hospitals and schools so taxpayers can see the great value they get for their money and how the cars help disabled people to work, etc. Labour should implement. @UKLabour

@Crofter1798 @UKLabour No they shouldn’t, that’s a ridiculous idea

COMING SOON — PUBLIC PIP FRAUD CHECK TOOL Built by the PIP DEVIL team

@whatsHerNamej @fordnation Yes. Many working people loosing on average $789 per year tax from their wages to pay for odsp are needing food banks. Surely it’s cut odsp so tax can be cut and they keep more of the money they work for

@fordnation You are directly responsible for people needing a food bank. Raise the ODSP rates for people in Ontario

I joined the amazing volunteers at the Daily Bread Food Bank’s annual Easter food sort as they work tirelessly to provide food to those who need it most. Thank you to everyone who is stepping up to make a difference in their communities during this important time of year.

@kezza1235 There shouldn’t be an app. The cars should have Motabilty written on both front doors so taxpayers can see the great value they get for their money and how the cars help disabled people to work, etc @UKLabour

@ThePIPDevil I’m not a Karen we have every right to be concerned & it looks like it will be shut down before it’s even up & running anyway judging by other comments I’ve seen. It’s just as bad as that max tempers and the stupid app to spot Motability cars which put targets on us. Are you him?

@MykeyLorimer With you being educationally challenged your in no position to comment on anyone’s posts

@Crofter1798 Thanks. Makes about as much sense as the rest of your posts!

Motability say they’ve removed 300 people from the scheme in NI since September after they started using black box recorders. One of those removed was clocked during 117mph in a 30 zone. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@joanne_sansome Where is the discrimination as its standard practice leasing to include mileage allowances?

@StephenNolan @gorettihorgan @matrobinson @AndrewHam2004 I think this may also apply to people getting a car for the first time from motability… the new mileage limit is also very concerning and discriminatory, as contrary to what many people seem to think motability is not a free scheme

Motability drivers under 30 ‘horrified’ as compulsory black boxes to be fitted under new rules Eva Hanna | @gorettihorgan | @matrobinson | @AndrewHam2004 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

@MykeyLorimer I understand it’s cost reduction and road safety inc pedestrians so should be no issues with that

@JP_Biz Appears from this morning’s show the 300 is uk wide figure. Very poorly worded statement from Motability, almost as if they designed it to mislead.

@whittakertp What is public opinion in Ontario on odsp, has it been measured? They voted Ford who didn’t include doubling at the last election unlike other parties. It would be interesting.

@LauraBabcock I am sure the OPP hoodie was not his last clean shirt in the closet.

It’s more than phoney. It’s cruel. Ford drives Ontarians into poverty and homelessness by underfunding ODSP, takes billions for legacy projects no one wants that help his pals, wears OPP logo at food bank to mock and try to show he’s untouchable 🤬youtu.be/t9H_MTDbW-k?si… #ONpoli
