When I was young we'd not be encouraged to go onto sick benefits! Because we had the resources to help children gradually work their way up the ladder, we'd not be scared to speak our minds, or be made to feel ashamed of our history or of been white! So is there any wonder children are depressed with the state of society & the way a loud minority have been able to change everything that made the world go aroubd just fine, I'd say some ppl have taken their ideas on reality way to far, we've forgotten a majority/generation of children.
I'm from a Northern town that as some of highest poverty! Yet we have the resources to help them who are coming into the town, just nothing for the locals children, who often come from families they could never afford to send their children to a university, or even just putting them through a driving test to get them on the road to help make life alittle easier & that's what these do-gooders have zero idea on when wanting immigration!

Benefits are not handouts, it's an insurance system that we all pay into to fall back on in times of need. No civilised society can be based on greedy individualism, they can only work when everyone works together for the benefit of the collective community.

And do you find that the support network is very poor and those in that sector are poorly paid and under motivated. And if they come across difficult cases they simply take a step back and you get very poor or none existent service.

Benefits are not for the wealthy or millionaires whom should their wheels fall off, need a safety net. Should they encounter any catostrophy, they will always be protected by their bank accounts so couldn't possibly relate to those whom fall to the very bottom of the pile.where there is no safety net. The wealthy will never have to rely on asking for help, they have access to private health care..don't have to suffer from NHS waiting lists and cuts to services because they can pay for immediate treatment. I love the fact that there is no doctor or qualified expert in mental health and chronic illness defending the most vulnerable in society (especially on debate shows, pushing the Tory nararive). Instead we have armchair judges who think they're qualified to judge. The most vulnerable will always be demonised and stigmatised. Saying mental health is any less of an illness than a physical illness is pure ignorance. A close friend if mine whom was hugely successful, took their own life to depression. They never required a financial safety net as were lucky enough to not fall into that category but kept going in order not to let others down. It is a silent illness like many chronic illnesses. We need more knindess and compassion, not sanctions and cruelty. Fix the NHS MR Sunak , cut waiting lists to services which are in gross decay and start respecting GP's medical opinions instead of passing the buck onto unqualified box tickers to suit your agenda.
Thanks for this, Phil. I appreciated what you said about lots of quite moderate people mistakenly believing that life on benefits is cushy & people are playing the system. I can remember when I worked for Citizens' Advice Bureaux, advising people who were claiming benefits for the first time - e.g. because of redundancy - who were often really shocked by how little help was available (they'd obviously believed what they read in the Daily Mail!).
Disabled people have more than enough problems to deal with without going out of their way to screw up the tories. Those that do have my great admiration.
There are people playing the system alright - millionaires billionaires and corporations that manage to squeeze more subsidies tax breaks and tax-avoidance wheezes out of a govt willing to supply them for donations: non-means-tested welfare for the rich, free market discipline for the rest, with penalties if we don't comply.
Human rights article 27 says everyone is entitled to food /shelter/clothes/warmth even prisoners but these DWP sanctions on people have caused deaths and evictions where people couldn't pay there rent because money had stopped - they should be done for discrimination to sick and disabled people eg a single mother with kids went shoplifting to feed her kids she explained to the police which was in a Kent paper and veteran with PTSD died in his flat because he was sanctioned because he had no money for food which was cause of a sanction -
I hate to tell you this but there are dishonest people taking advantage and cheating the benefit system and people who are genuine and really need the support are going to have their lives made so much more difficult because of this. It's called working the system
Don't judge a potential incoming government the same as a past one, until they have had at least one term to see if they improve things. If they haven't made any significant changes then by all means be critical. I say give them a chance.
glynmellor6161 what are you waffling on about? I'm not denying anything. What happened in the past is in the past. There has been a Labour government for 14 years. In the meantime, the Tories have ruined this Country through austerity, killing thousands of people through their so-called "ring of protection" around care homes during the pandemic, and fraudulently gave away hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer money through the illegal PPE fastlane to their mates and donors. To name a few. But you rather belly ache about a "supposed" historical act by the previous Labour government, when the Tories have pretty much destroyed this country with their choices since then. Do you like having a blatantly corrupt Tory government in charge. I don't. Hence my willingness to give the opposition a chance.
There's nothing in there about the changes to the WCA and making it even harder to pass. This will still push more people into work who need some support.
@@luke7708 luke we cannot allow them to do that if they try we show them in mass demos we dont want tory lite policies we want socialism , our society needs fairness and equality
@@tomfinney3416 But people don't "stand up and fight" (as Penny Mordant infamously said) in this country. The attitude towards disability in this country is lip service only. I won't be voting Labour if in their manifesto there's more punitive punishment.
I would like to know if Labour will leave the ECHR or actually start following its laws and return British citizens basic human rights? One or the other, you can't have both.
Here is the problem I have. The government have announced all these new policies and Labour have said nothing to combat them. The only real information has been from Liz Kendall, in a speech months ago which was roundly criticized by disability charities. You then have 600,000 people on legacy ESA who have just had the rug pulled from under them and will be rushed through the managed migration process 3 years earlier than expected. What have Labour said about this? Nothing. Are they going to pause it until they reform UC? No idea. War was officially declared on the disabled this week, and Labour have said nothing.
Most disabled people don't work simply because they're not able but I know those who can work get very little help in actually finding work. The support system for disabled is woefully inadequate. In some cases the disability is used against disabled people because those who are paid to support people with disabilities are very badly motivated and are poorly paid themselves. Others within the system focus on 'star' cases and the rest get nowhere near enough help.
The only people that should be affected is the healthy fit people who should be working and stop attacking the vulnerable, the Polls for the tory party has hit a all time low, we need a change in the Job seeking and a change in employers. and employer will not employ people with a tonne a issues that could put people in danger or themselves, the welfare system needs to change ASAP and get businesses back in to the UK and able to set up a company easier and the social workers in this country are vanishing ?
There should be a policy that any company that shuts down its UK operations in order to operate cheaply abroad should also not only have to pay statutory redundancy,but pay the equivalent benefit per worker for 6 months into the National Insurance fund.
The whole system of government needs to be overhauled in any case where the people have a say in government policies & And how and what public funds are spent on As it is us who are affected by these decisions
Why do so many people find it necessary to be so unkind to others who are worse off than themselves, it's been political policies for generations, but do decent people have to support such cruelty,
I'm disabled and have had mental health issues for many years now. If this incoming Labour government is no different on welfare to the Tory hell we've had, then I have no choice but to just end it. The turmoil in my head over this is intolerable
Tory and Labour, same thing with unemployed, blame them, then out comes new get back to work, yet no jobs out there, go back few years the millions into billions wasted on .. New deal.. What's new to come to bring more depression onto there mistakes, this always seems to be around new ideas when election is in the air, all goverments have to put the work and full time jobs first, then put out workable systems, not part time less pay that is not working.
Under the European court of human rights it’s against the law to discriminate against person with a disability By law they are supposed to meet the needs of a vulnerable person and are required to meet their needs
I have a child with LD abd ASD. Many of the services I encounter think I should give up my job to care for my son (to basically do the things they cant afford to provide), but he get 549 a month (which should be going on things he needs like OT equipment we cant access, not bills) I could claim the pitiful carers allowance and get a casual part time job, but financially I would still come up very short and would face possible sanctions like many others on carers allowance have. I'm sure the Tories are creaming their pants over the fact I am still working, but I am literally on the edge of a breakdown trying to keep all the plates spinning (I've had to appeal to get my son in a specialist school which has taken a year - his IQ is likely under 40!). I am utterly exhausted and resentful of this government. Being disabled or having a disabled child should not leave you with a choice of either poverty or poor mental health or exhaustion.
What about the EU they shut are factory down and thousands out of work. Open are factory back up and start making British items like we used to do it easy always known if it made British it was a well made and of good quality open are factory this will be the start this country coming back to how we used to be.
Im sorry but you are delibratly misleading people Liz Kendall has made it clear she thinks the Tories have not been tough enough on the sick n disabled so intends to make life even harder for us

Labour should know how important the benefits systems are to our country they allocate a payment council house rents get paid directly back to the government so does water community sugar taxes all go back into the country so does value added tax on Everything we buy so does medications gas electric fuel transport All go back into the country it has millions of employees and allows for millions of volunteers working for free everything BUT the private landlords private companies go back into the country
Would a Labour government support vocational training, with which to gain skills and improve productivity in the workplace? Continuing professional development needs to be made an intrinsic part of working in the UK.
Unfortunately the Labour party is built on percentages. A certain percentage of coloured MPs, a certain percentage of gay MPs , a certain percentage of different religions and a certain percentage of women MPs rather than choosing the best people for the job. I dont care if all the MPs are gay, black, women etc as long as they are the best people for the job and know what they are doing.
It's terrible wath conservatives done with diss silly reforms they told my wife in jobcentre that they will cut her benefits it's doesn't matter that's she's house wife and looking after her 2 kids she always have to take kids and go to jobcentre until I'm working it's just so stressful and depressing
This seems to be conflating different aspects or circumstances. It also seems to be perpetuating a centralised instead of localised approach. Lastly, and possibly missed by some, it assumes these are the **only** answers to the symptoms instead of empirically proving root causes and **then** looking at all possible solutions for a given situation. Trying to give a one size fits all solution certainly does make it easy to lump people together and target them unfairly.
I totally agree that people with serious mental health problems and ADHD ,people with.autism and physical chronic illness . We are always attacked by the conservative government that encourage society to hate us.

Would you like to hear my point of vein? What even one needs.

The issues are i can do things that would see me perfect for roles in things like phone counciling i have a set of qualifications that enables me to do that on a voluntary basis but pip rules are different were by me communicating with others may actually mean i lose points instantly and would basically mean i lose my intitalmemt. Pip and universal credit are two completely separate benifits universal credit would support me in helping with things like a land line and cheap deal with a phone provider plus some help into volunteering. You have to reinvent the pip system not to penalise what you can do even being housebound

Well, does it really matter what these parties promise, when they conveniently brush it aside once elected. For me, the most important thing is, can you trust them. If you can't, it doesn't matter what they promise. My intention is to vote for the party based on the integrity of their candidates, not their manifesto.
It was the last Labour government that started putting the screw on the unemployed ,sick & disabled to start with . The Tory’s just carried on minding the fort ,& turning the screw a few more turns . The Labour actually reckon the universal credit system is a good idea because it puts most benefits under one system ,therefore ,making it easier to also cut them all off ,in one go . Labour MPS only paid lip service to protesting about UC , in the big debate in Parliament a few years back, barring a few petty details about the time it took claimants to receive their first payments ,they were pretty much all agreed on the new state credit loan system . Proof again that Labour & the Tories are two cheeks of the same arse , so I wouldn’t hold out for any Labour government coming to the salvation of the unemployed , sick or disabled ,as they played their role in starting & supporting what’s lead up to now .
Literally nothing you wrote here was true or accurate. What Labour have actually said: “Let’s take away that fear and distrust which prevent so many from engaging with employment support and attempting a move into work." “A Labour government would guarantee that people in this position who do move into employment with the help of employment support will be able to return to the benefits they were on without the need for another lengthy assessment process.” When the Toried took away the £20 uplift after covid, Labour said this: "We wouldn’t make the cut, we would then replace it with something better" So save your "two cheeks of the same arse" crap for George "sheet stain" Gallaway. It doesn't wash here.
@@stopthetories Your chatting bullsh💩t Labour just like the rest ,will say anything to get into power . I have lived on the planet for over 70 years seen em all come & go .

I watched the debates on the Universal credit ,all Labour MP’s did was pay lip service & agreed it was all good & gravy in principle . It was also the last Labour government that started bringing in changes ,they created a two tier adult pay , & different two tier adult benefit system , when before even under the Tory’s it was the same rates for adults 18 years upwards . So your phoney so called Labour party for the workers bullsh💩t doesn’t wash here .I got no time for Galloway or any politician either .
@glynmellor6161 What Labour say & what they do will be different in power . They will do as the rest do ,give a few crumbs in one hand & devise more shifty ways to take back more in the other , whilst making sure they feather their own & cronies nests . It was Labour who introduced a two tier adult pay & benefit system making under 25 adults poorer than over 25 adults ,even though they buy their bread in the same shops . Then the have the brass neck to call themselves a Labour Party . Also. no point in quoting Galloway to me , I got no time for him either ,but he is correct to say Labour & the Tory’s are two cheeks of the same arse . He got that spot on .
glynmellor6161 correct answer to the question , however the centre for policy research that formulated uc , was cross party , with ids having a big say in things
I can also understand Labours welfare up to a point as well,Labour got back in,They will axe the whole Benefit system for the whole nation,That even for the most ill and disabled people who can't even get out there homes with out any struggle,Let alone getting a Job,Also Labour party more higher stricked with Benefits,Be no such thing as doing under hours each week,They will be expecting the whole nation of Benefits completely,So I won't be voting for the Labour party,They sound worse than Tories,They are tories in red ties,Why do you think they keep on loosing ??? they also get less control over Migration also why im not voting for them
So with Labour you will be better off and Conservatives you will end up in food banks, lose your benefits if you cant find a job, mmm I wonder who we should vote for?

Sorry I think you are wrong, stood with Labour for a long time, but no longer, under this new effectively far-right labour, there is little difference between the evil that just lost and the evil that just won.... Labour is no longer the labour it was but the opposite, disagree all you like, leaders that lie and cheat, backstab and cleanse their parties in order as has happened, is never a party you can trust... New labour changed the law to rob the Social care/N.I contributions under Brown, that effectively stole the money from all the emergency services and social care, Tories pursued the goal started by new labour (or effectively new tories) by privatising the NHS and hiding that by getting the NHS to hire private companies. Now this new government has effectively stated 'no return to the eu, free market or u-turns on what the tories started'.... it's like Trumpisum has taken over the Government and similar parties, where truth no longer matters so long as backhanders rule and the people suffer and you can get away with lies... the only truth I agree with (though I am loath to give him any credit) is from farage, that being the system is in serious need of an overhaul.... so lets start with no backhanders etc for anyone in government and jail for deceiving the people and parliament (forced to be honesty)

I love the fact that there is no doctor or qualified expert in mental health and chronic illness defending the most vulnerable in society (especially on debate shows, pushing the Tory nararive). Instead we have armchair judges who think they're qualified to judge. The most vulnerable will always be demonised and stigmatised. Saying mental health is any less of an illness than a physical illness is pure ignorance. A close friend if mine whom was hugely successful, took their own life to depression. They never required a financial safety net as were lucky enough to not fall into that category but kept going in order not to let others down. It is a silent illness like many chronic illnesses. We need more knindess and compassion, not sanctions and cruelty. Fix the NHS MR Sunak , cut waiting lists to services which are in gross decay and start respecting GP's medical opinions instead of passing the buck onto unqualified box tickers to suit your agenda.
Thank you for this insightful explanation,I will be voting labour now
Thanks for this, Phil. I appreciated what you said about lots of quite moderate people mistakenly believing that life on benefits is cushy & people are playing the system. I can remember when I worked for Citizens' Advice Bureaux, advising people who were claiming benefits for the first time - e.g. because of redundancy - who were often really shocked by how little help was available (they'd obviously believed what they read in the Daily Mail!).
Disabled people have more than enough problems to deal with without going out of their way to screw up the tories. Those that do have my great admiration.
They need to pay for the new guests. Brits are an after thought.
You still believe what Starmer says 😂😂 that's hilarious
Will labour persecute the disabled in the same way the tories have for years?
Tories red or blue I’m not voting for any of them. I don’t want second class tories in power it’s abhorrent to me.
well said there,Im voting reform
The tories have created what i refer to as the virtual workhouse
not only you, a UN report did too I think.
Vote Labour on 2nd May. 🌹

Greedy Rich
Binning the minister for mental health & actively shittalking people on benefits doesn't inspire any confidence.
There are people playing the system alright - millionaires billionaires and corporations that manage to squeeze more subsidies tax breaks and tax-avoidance wheezes out of a govt willing to supply them for donations: non-means-tested welfare for the rich, free market discipline for the rest, with penalties if we don't comply.
Human rights article 27 says everyone is entitled to food /shelter/clothes/warmth even prisoners but these DWP sanctions on people have caused deaths and evictions where people couldn't pay there rent because money had stopped - they should be done for discrimination to sick and disabled people eg a single mother with kids went shoplifting to feed her kids she explained to the police which was in a Kent paper and veteran with PTSD died in his flat because he was sanctioned because he had no money for food which was cause of a sanction -
Thank you Phil, VERY useful. 5* info
I hate to tell you this but there are dishonest people taking advantage and cheating the benefit system and people who are genuine and really need the support are going to have their lives made so much more difficult because of this. It's called working the system
Labour are saying very similar things to what they said while in power and I as a disabled parent lost a lot of funding under Labour
Don't judge a potential incoming government the same as a past one, until they have had at least one term to see if they improve things. If they haven't made any significant changes then by all means be critical.
I say give them a chance.
Let's hope they're better this time, because God help us if the Tories win again.
glynmellor6161 what are you waffling on about? I'm not denying anything.
What happened in the past is in the past. There has been a Labour government for 14 years.
In the meantime, the Tories have ruined this Country through austerity, killing thousands of people through their so-called "ring of protection" around care homes during the pandemic, and fraudulently gave away hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayer money through the illegal PPE fastlane to their mates and donors. To name a few.
But you rather belly ache about a "supposed" historical act by the previous Labour government, when the Tories have pretty much destroyed this country with their choices since then.
Do you like having a blatantly corrupt Tory government in charge.
I don't. Hence my willingness to give the opposition a chance.

Both Labour and Conservative party ALWAYS target the unemployed and sick.
I hope they can have some kind of push for helping people re-train into new job roles
I would like to know if Labour will leave the ECHR or actually start following its laws and return British citizens basic human rights? One or the other, you can't have both.
Here is the problem I have. The government have announced all these new policies and Labour have said nothing to combat them. The only real information has been from Liz Kendall, in a speech months ago which was roundly criticized by disability charities.
You then have 600,000 people on legacy ESA who have just had the rug pulled from under them and will be rushed through the managed migration process 3 years earlier than expected. What have Labour said about this? Nothing. Are they going to pause it until they reform UC? No idea.
War was officially declared on the disabled this week, and Labour have said nothing.
Most disabled people don't work simply because they're not able but I know those who can work get very little help in actually finding work. The support system for disabled is woefully inadequate. In some cases the disability is used against disabled people because those who are paid to support people with disabilities are very badly motivated and are poorly paid themselves. Others within the system focus on 'star' cases and the rest get nowhere near enough help.
The only people that should be affected is the healthy fit people who should be working and stop attacking the vulnerable, the Polls for the tory party has hit a all time low, we need a change in the Job seeking and a change in employers. and employer will not employ people with a tonne a issues that could put people in danger or themselves, the welfare system needs to change ASAP and get businesses back in to the UK and able to set up a company easier and the social workers in this country are vanishing ?
Reform. Will hold labour to account.
a moment of amusement at around the 3min mark where Phil refers to the DUP instead of the DWP
Dundee job centre are tyrants of the worst kind, all sorts of people are being done a wrong my self included, tyrants. Grrrr
There should be a policy that any company that shuts down its UK operations in order to operate cheaply abroad should also not only have to pay statutory redundancy,but pay the equivalent benefit per worker for 6 months into the National Insurance fund.
BENEFITS ARE FIR EVERYONE INCLUDING THE RICH WHO GO BANKRUPT,
The whole system of government needs to be overhauled in any case where the people have a say in government policies & And how and what public funds are spent on As it is us who are affected by these decisions
Why do so many people find it necessary to be so unkind to others who are worse off than themselves, it's been political policies for generations, but do decent people have to support such cruelty,
I'm disabled and have had mental health issues for many years now. If this incoming Labour government is no different on welfare to the Tory hell we've had, then I have no choice but to just end it. The turmoil in my head over this is intolerable
Only time will tell✌
Tory and Labour, same thing with unemployed, blame them, then out comes new get back to work, yet no jobs out there, go back few years the millions into billions wasted on .. New deal.. What's new to come to bring more depression onto there mistakes, this always seems to be around new ideas when election is in the air, all goverments have to put the work and full time jobs first, then put out workable systems, not part time less pay that is not working.
Manifesto. 5 Missions? Won’t be worth the paper it’s written on!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Under the European court of human rights it’s against the law to discriminate against person with a disability
By law they are supposed to meet the needs of a vulnerable person and are required to meet their needs
Labour needs to strengthen its social media wing to reach general public. Electric & print media is hostile to labour.
The public know labour are for the migrant/ not the Brit. Can't be for the working class and for them...They directly effect the lowest earners.
Labour has gone from " For The Many Not the Few "
To " The Party Of Business "
What a ftg Disgrace.
I have a child with LD abd ASD. Many of the services I encounter think I should give up my job to care for my son (to basically do the things they cant afford to provide), but he get 549 a month (which should be going on things he needs like OT equipment we cant access, not bills) I could claim the pitiful carers allowance and get a casual part time job, but financially I would still come up very short and would face possible sanctions like many others on carers allowance have.
I'm sure the Tories are creaming their pants over the fact I am still working, but I am literally on the edge of a breakdown trying to keep all the plates spinning (I've had to appeal to get my son in a specialist school which has taken a year - his IQ is likely under 40!). I am utterly exhausted and resentful of this government. Being disabled or having a disabled child should not leave you with a choice of either poverty or poor mental health or exhaustion.
Can't see labour changing very much of what we have already.
Not a fan of Starmer and Co. All them them are about as much use as a handbrake on a Canoe.
What about the EU they shut are factory down and thousands out of work. Open are factory back up and start making British items like we used to do it easy always known if it made British it was a well made and of good quality open are factory this will be the start this country coming back to how we used to be.
Alot of people need help not threatened like the Tories are doing so. Madness
UK votes for reform and Sunak gives you all this Reform. He is bullying UK citizen now 😂😂
Social Security not benefits!
Im sorry but you are delibratly misleading people Liz Kendall has made it clear she thinks the Tories have not been tough enough on the sick n disabled so intends to make life even harder for us
Id rather vote for next doors cat. Tiddles for PM !

Ive lived a Labour held town for years! The council was taken by LibDems 2yrs ago (which im hoping they are voted out) because the North under Labour as become a complete mess & the current Labour party is changing their mind on issues, what they should never of agreed with in the first place.
It all sounds a bit woolly. Maybe these are aspirations rather than actual policies?
I have a very severe bone muscle disease.. My life is tough. I hope that l am not targeted.. The Mcgill pain chart ( which is the centre of excellence for pain across the world) ranks my condition the worst for pain. Higher than cancer

Labour should know how important the benefits systems are to our country they allocate a payment council house rents get paid directly back to the government so does water community sugar taxes all go back into the country so does value added tax on Everything we buy so does medications gas electric fuel transport All go back into the country it has millions of employees and allows for millions of volunteers working for free everything BUT the private landlords private companies go back into the country
Would a Labour government support vocational training, with which to gain skills and improve productivity in the workplace? Continuing professional development needs to be made an intrinsic part of working in the UK.
Outstanding video on a CORE issue
evasive though but phil is hampered by being the mouthpiece of starmer and starmer is extremly evasive
Unfortunately the Labour party is built on percentages. A certain percentage of coloured MPs, a certain percentage of gay MPs , a certain percentage of different religions and a certain percentage of women MPs rather than choosing the best people for the job.
I dont care if all the MPs are gay, black, women etc as long as they are the best people for the job and know what they are doing.
It's terrible wath conservatives done with diss silly reforms they told my wife in jobcentre that they will cut her benefits it's doesn't matter that's she's house wife and looking after her 2 kids she always have to take kids and go to jobcentre until I'm working it's just so stressful and depressing
Vote Reform
This seems to be conflating different aspects or circumstances. It also seems to be perpetuating a centralised instead of localised approach. Lastly, and possibly missed by some, it assumes these are the **only** answers to the symptoms instead of empirically proving root causes and **then** looking at all possible solutions for a given situation. Trying to give a one size fits all solution certainly does make it easy to lump people together and target them unfairly.
The list of Labour's plans you have given are 'objectives' not policies (no matter how often you try and say they are).
If he can stop this santion thing he gets my vote
you can still make a phone claim j am on one now i dont use their journal
really hope they stop assessments for mental health.............
I totally agree that people with serious mental health problems and ADHD ,people with.autism and physical chronic illness . We are always attacked by the conservative government that encourage society to hate us.
Dont think this party is any better they are on the same path as tories and the snp.
same path way,Be even worse pathway under Labour crap,If Labour back in,All these Labour voters be having a terrible shock up their backs knowing how worse the country will get,Be a lot more than worse

Would you like to hear my point of vein? What even one needs. Health care, food, housing, schooling, electricity, sewer, clothing, some fun money(to see a movie or whatever), vacation time, a social work/help system. The internet, a police/ fire dept. judicial structure, maybe a car. Work for a want not a need.
The issues are i can do things that would see me perfect for roles in things like phone counciling i have a set of qualifications that enables me to do that on a voluntary basis but pip rules are different were by me communicating with others may actually mean i lose points instantly and would basically mean i lose my intitalmemt. Pip and universal credit are two completely separate benifits universal credit would support me in helping with things like a land line and cheap deal with a phone provider plus some help into volunteering. You have to reinvent the pip system not to penalise what you can do even being housebound
It wouldn’t be a bad idea when people go for jobs to be taken on and showed how to do the job. All I ever hear with people is that your not experienced enough 🤷🏻♀️well how are you going to learn. Nothing ever changes in this country or political parties either.
Time for a change
Just remember 3 terms of Labour
Well, does it really matter what these parties promise, when they conveniently brush it aside once elected. For me, the most important thing is, can you trust them. If you can't, it doesn't matter what they promise. My intention is to vote for the party based on the integrity of their candidates, not their manifesto.
well said
It was the last Labour government that started putting the screw on the unemployed ,sick & disabled to start with . The Tory’s just carried on minding the fort ,& turning the screw a few more turns . The Labour actually reckon the universal credit system is a good idea because it puts most benefits under one system ,therefore ,making it easier to also cut them all off ,in one go . Labour MPS only paid lip service to protesting about UC , in the big debate in Parliament a few years back, barring a few petty details about the time it took claimants to receive their first payments ,they were pretty much all agreed on the new state credit loan system . Proof again that Labour & the Tories are two cheeks of the same arse , so I wouldn’t hold out for any Labour government coming to the salvation of the unemployed , sick or disabled ,as they played their role in starting & supporting what’s lead up to now .
Where is the evidence of this? Please elaborate.
Literally nothing you wrote here was true or accurate. What Labour have actually said:
“Let’s take away that fear and distrust which prevent so many from engaging with employment support and attempting a move into work."
“A Labour government would guarantee that people in this position who do move into employment with the help of employment support will be able to return to the benefits they were on without the need for another lengthy assessment process.”
When the Toried took away the £20 uplift after covid, Labour said this:
"We wouldn’t make the cut, we would then replace it with something better"
So save your "two cheeks of the same arse" crap for George "sheet stain" Gallaway. It doesn't wash here.
@@stopthetories Your chatting bullsh💩t Labour just like the rest ,will say anything to get into power . I have lived on the planet for over 70 years seen em all come & go . They all do the same , promise all kinds give you a few crumbs in one hand ,& devise more ways to take more back in the other ,whist feathering their own nests . I watched the debates on the Universal credit ,all Labour MP’s did was pay lip service & agreed it was all good & gravy in principle . It was also the last Labour government that started bringing in changes ,they created a two tier adult pay , & different two tier adult benefit system , when before even under the Tory’s it was the same rates for adults 18 years upwards . So your phoney so called Labour party for the workers bullsh💩t doesn’t wash here .I got no time for Galloway or any politician either .
@glynmellor6161 What Labour say & what they do will be different in power . They will do as the rest do ,give a few crumbs in one hand & devise more shifty ways to take back more in the other , whilst making sure they feather their own & cronies nests . It was Labour who introduced a two tier adult pay & benefit system making under 25 adults poorer than over 25 adults ,even though they buy their bread in the same shops . Then the have the brass neck to call themselves a Labour Party . Also. no point in quoting Galloway to me , I got no time for him either ,but he is correct to say Labour & the Tory’s are two cheeks of the same arse . He got that spot on .
glynmellor6161 correct answer to the question , however the centre for policy research that formulated uc , was cross party , with ids having a big say in things
I can also understand Labours welfare up to a point as well,Labour got back in,They will axe the whole Benefit system for the whole nation,That even for the most ill and disabled people who can't even get out there homes with out any struggle,Let alone getting a Job,Also Labour party more higher stricked with Benefits,Be no such thing as doing under hours each week,They will be expecting the whole nation of Benefits completely,So I won't be voting for the Labour party,They sound worse than Tories,They are tories in red ties,Why do you think they keep on loosing ??? they also get less control over Migration also why im not voting for them
None of these things was in the manifesto
Have you considered making life worth living.
So with Labour you will be better off and Conservatives you will end up in food banks, lose your benefits if you cant find a job, mmm I wonder who we should vote for?

Sorry I think you are wrong, stood with Labour for a long time, but no longer, under this new effectively far-right labour, there is little difference between the evil that just lost and the evil that just won.... Labour is no longer the labour it was but the opposite, disagree all you like, leaders that lie and cheat, backstab and cleanse their parties in order as has happened, is never a party you can trust... New labour changed the law to rob the Social care/N.I contributions under Brown, that effectively stole the money from all the emergency services and social care, Tories pursued the goal started by new labour (or effectively new tories) by privatising the NHS and hiding that by getting the NHS to hire private companies. Now this new government has effectively stated 'no return to the eu, free market or u-turns on what the tories started'.... it's like Trumpisum has taken over the Government and similar parties, where truth no longer matters so long as backhanders rule and the people suffer and you can get away with lies... the only truth I agree with (though I am loath to give him any credit) is from farage, that being the system is in serious need of an overhaul.... so lets start with no backhanders etc for anyone in government and jail for deceiving the people and parliament (forced to be honesty)
"Far right Labour" which just scrapped the Rwanda scheme and isn't threatening to take us out of the ECHR. Whatever. 🤪
