Cut the frigging Lords £300 a day plus meal allowance ffs.
...and their tax payer subsidised alcohol from the parliament bars.
Please actually learn what you're talking about before you speak. There is no meal allowance.
If they do not receive a salary which most don't they can claim an attendance allowance at a flat rate as of now at £180 or £361 which can choose not to claim.
I don't like the HOL as an unelected body but you have to be accurate with information.
@@lewismckenzie236 £361 is more than £300, you missed the point.
I believe it's the MP's that get £300 a day, just for turning up.
They're cruel and callous.
If the W. E. F, get their way with their Agenda 2025, useless eaters, will be helped to meet their maker.
Exactly. They should get £10 a day like everyone else
What about the millions spent a day on housing illegal immigrants?
They will never cut back on that , they want them here .
Don't mention that!
Why don't you give it a rest, your racist slip is showing.
bailed out banksters ? austerity 9.0 ? Zelensky's levy ? New Labour and crony capitalism importing more and more cheap labour from the third and eastern europe bringing down wages and jobs on the blackmarket cash under the table.
Well this is to get all the people who hate that to vote for them as they also hate the poor and disabled.
punishing the vulnerable and disabled for being vulnerable and disabled , an absolutely abusive and cruel Government , they should be taken to the human rights and be prosecuted .
I`m in
And £42 million for
David Cameron using a private plane
Totsl Piss Take
Plus Billions to Ukraine and Israel (why the Israelis need it with the arms they have, I do not know) and a 2.5% increase in defence spending...but yeah...those pesky disabled are taking all the money!
Cameron was not a great primeminister when he was in , he let this country down sold us out many times , why rishi brought him in to bring us down again i dont know , perhaps he thinks he is going to be pm again , like the women that was in for two weeks and almost made us bankrupt its going to take 10 yrs to get back , truss she still thinks she can get in again but then rishi let all these illigil boats in and _uct us right up , so between them two we have no chance ... now of course they want to take the money from the disabled easy option rather then sort out the real problems
I can’t find any reliable source that shows David Cameron has spent £42 million on private planes. Where can I find it ?

I cannot believe how disgusting and out of touch this government is 🤬
They just gave cfree childcare to the rich, they have to take the money back from somewhere.
hard to get PIP for autism unless you never ever worked in your life @JL-ym3yp
they told me I could cook food in a microwave, go places fine alone. having no friends of social contact in the world is normal.... not feeling like an adult and still feeling like a child.... totally normal.
my bank statements for the last 10 years show I only ever spend money in about 5 different shops.... and I never use public transport or taxis etc and I don't drive
They can hit back at those with disabilities, but in the same week give half a billion pounds to Ukraine. Absolutely disgusting.
Don’t stop the support for vulnerable disabled people that need support; stop wasting bloody money on illegal migrants, MP expenses, quangos, corrupt PPE contracts, local government incompetence, managers in the NHS, etc………..
very very true
Nd don't forget they r funding wars

Where are the vouchers going to be for, a one shop sells all, clothes, food, shoes , elecrical ? What about council tax and bills? transport to hospital? Dentist? Prescriptions?
I am sure they could.
they have hit below the belt this time , cameron has wispered in rishis ear , and said we have to get the money back were spending on the illigils millions a day , and the palistine marches are costing thousands every weekend with policeing protecting them , not english or jewish people who have lived here all their life we have to arrest them and that costs money , then we have to pay for the mayor of london i know he is in a job that is not nessary but he likes it , then the house of lords that cause nothing but trouble and we pay them for doing so , and then we have to pay the civil servants that are in jobs that are just created and not needed , and then there is my job because im important i should have more say in the matter , so the only answer is we have to get the money from the disabled , take it away from them we can always tell the lie if they start complaining its for their own good we will sort the good from the bad and then if they still complain we will arrest them , sounds good what do you think rishi , o know your a puppet you do what i say dont you ..... its an easy option to get at the disabled and one that is far below the belt for any goverment , rishi is out now , labour can go with him , vote reform , its fresh and for the people , it cant be any worse but there is every chance it will be better . we do not want a party that attacks our disabled and needy , reform is for the people and with british values , fight for your rights , fight to keep your independants , use words to convey what you want and what you dont want , lobby the goverment to stop this before alot of people get broken and give up , this must not happen ......and will not happen ..
I am all for helping the true vulnerable disabled but we are creating disabilities from lack of systems allowed to say they are creating their own disability in some cases. I don’t know any disabled person who is struggling. I have a friend who has a disabled son who has said she would not be able to survive without her son’s benefits. He has every thing he wants. Sky package and new iPhones etc.
@@juliemaddernA gp can actually issue a council tax exemption for mental health but I’ve been told they don’t like to do it
Cut benefits to the disabled, so we can give even more to the hotel migrants..🤬🤬🤬🤬
The Tories are increasing foreign dependents whilst not looking after our own long term disabled.
And the long term lead swingers.
It's not easy to get PIP, and that's a fact,I'm horrified that this government doesn't,and won't look after it's own people,yet hands out lottery money to people who come here.
@@brianpotter3870 the problem is too many people have ' swung the lead ' and the people who really need help are going to be the ones that suffer.
Of course we all know someone who have made a occupation of playing the system.

@@christinecraig7473looking at one what?

How is this going to make people who have mental health issues better this will only cause more anxiety and depression
Agree with you
People are depressed because they are living in poverty, therapy isn't going to help that
they will turn to drugs and hang around the streets instead.
just look at America
Definitely
Absolutely!!! This whole thing is a joke.
A job certainly won’t help either. This government makes me sick
People are depressed because they live in the UK. The home for illegal immigrants
I never thought I could despise a party more than Labour but the conservatives have managed it.
👍
Lol! I'm non-partisan. I've seen politicians from all parties do nonsense... But attacking disabled people takes the biscuit! Especially when a lot of those who are disabled worked for 20 years and some are military veterans!
I despise both of them , they don’t give a toss about British people, all they care about is their bank balances and power trips .
Time to vote for something different because these educated fools are deliberately sinking the ship for personal gain
To me, they are equal in the deserved contempt I have for them both.
There's no difference between them. Labour opened the floodgates under Tony Blair and the EU. The Tories have had no intention of stopping illegal immigration. A leader of a country should be just that, one with a backbone. We haven't had one of those in many years. I never thought I would be a witness to the poor state of this country. There is so much unrest and anger across the UK. No one in power has had the guts to stand up and do something about it. We couldn't get a half decent party out of the Labour or Conservative representatives if we shuffled them up together. It's all 'what we will do if you vote for us '. They should have been doing it already. They can start by stopping all benefits to the illegals who aren't fleeing war-torn countries or persecution. Its our taxes, not theirs.
we did not chose to become disabled so why should we be punished ,i do not understand , why would they want to make our lives so more difficult , please explain.
I didn't choose to have mental health issues or diabetes. I just have both.
@@dawnwasshowardwe all have mental health diabetes.

I have mental health conditions and i work 2 days a week AND I claim disability benefits! These politicians are out of touch. I get no mental health treatment from the NHS and i get no social care from social services. So I actually use my disability money to pay people to help me mentally and socially... Somehow i don't see them accepting vouchers... And if I don't have these professionals that I pay, then my health mental and physical will rapidly deteriorate to the point that i would not be able to work at all! I receive no treatment/physical help currently from the NHS or Social services or the DWP. I have Borderline/Emotionally Unstable Personality disorder, chronic insomnia, childhood Complex PTSD and recently diagnosed Level 2 Autism Spectrum Disorder. And they think that vouchers is going to magically turn me into someone who works 60-100 hours a week? Unlikely, I'd probably die sooner... Or maybe that's their actual plan.... Unalive off all the sick and the disabled first and then put everyone included immigrants from outside to work in horrendous conditions.. Until they too get sick and disabled... Then off they go to the unaliving chamber too.... We know how that turned out in 1930s and 40s when a government decided to force 6 million "allegedly work shy" people to "work". They got "special vouchers" too.
Let the government ministers take a substantial pay cut, and give that money to these claims. See if they vote THAT bill in.
Cut benefits but pay for the war and migrants this guys a clown
Benefit cheats are clowns ant they ????
My experience as a retired Counsellor Psychologist is that mental health is very complex. Also mental health is vastly underfunded in this country with very poor access to facilities. We were also locked down during the covid years which certainly added to the increase in mental health conditions. Perhaps trying to recoup the millions lost on faulty PPE or targeting the great British tax dodgers instead of going after the most vulnerable in society. Does this government really think this will win votes. Shameful behaviour from a totally out of touch government.

Everyone talks about the cost of benefits, immigration and international aid...yet no one talks about the billions our government has handed out in corrupt deals to its rich pals, or the billions we lose every year because they refuse to tax corporations and the super rich. No one talks about how much money is hidden away in tax havens by rich people living off the hard work of British people.
It isn't an issue of poor people defrauding the system, it's an issue of those who already have all the wealth hoarding more and more money.
Yet here we are, arguing over disabled people getting a few hundred quid a month and not the fact that the UK saw over 100 new billionaires during covid, or the fact that the top 1% became 3 or 4 times richer in the last 5 years. All while the rest of us lost our jobs and struggled as inflation hit record highs.
And don't forget...the failing Hs2 project has cost the public £66+ billion so far and it's cost is still going up.
Utter insanity. Everyday people need to wake up.
Vouchers don't pay the bills. It's an idiotic policy from a stupid government.

The Tories should remember Errol Graham from Nottingham he died because of lack of financial help taking it away from him pushed a button in his mind. People like him need more help more than money because money won't help they need people to come out to them especially when they've not been heard from in a while. I think that's why the DWP stopped his money because he was incapable of reaching out, that wasn't his fault so stopping benefits that isn't the solution.
Let's see:
- Funding foreign wars
- Enabling and allowing depreciation of currency via quantitative easing and fractional reserve banking (state enforced counterfeiting)
- Allowing the country to be flooded with millions, housing and feeding them
All these things aren't at the top of the list to be dealt with, but instead PIP is, give me an absolute break. 😂
The devaluing of the money is because they are happy with 2% inflation every year, indefinitely. This devalues what the money will buy, and savings and pensions and benefits, etc.
You compound that interest over decades, and it makes savings literally worthless, as well as worth less, even before you get punished for not frittering it all away when you are young.
Talking therapies is not going to pay for the gas and electric. It's like the Tories are doing their best to be voted out.
I wish the Tories could all live on disability benefits just for a month then tell the disabled people who much luxury they live in .
No one wants to beg I dont.
No one COMPLAIN about accepting our taxes when we are working.
It is not just when disabled people work...they still pay taxes. Not many can afford to save or leave the country so every penny they get gets spent in the UK and nearly all of it is taxed.
Also like to see them live on a food bank parcel for three days, especially a kettle pack.
Still less than what it costs to house immigrants, less than big corporations tax evasion etc ...
I'm not on benefits but it's not right attacking the poor, especially when the tax payer pays £40 million a year just so rishi can fly a jet around.

Talk about going backwards! Not only that, but there are huge waiting lists already for mental health therapy! Get this government OUT
There's long waiting lists for every NHS service, they are still blaming the lockdowns and all that bollocks. That's the reason why there's an increase in sickness because people aren't being treated or diagnosed quick enough it leads to worsening conditions that could be prevented with earlier intervention. I don't know how they are even going to be able to offer therapy when I know there's people who have waited almost 8 months for an initial appointment with a mental health team.
We need to protest against this government
Lowest of low, those ill are very grateful for help, they paid into the system when they worked but this is terrible
Talking therapies...come on you can't even get a doctor's appointment
I had six weeks of talking therapy for my mental health, they just advised breathing exercises and mindfulness and ways to cope, they said they couldn’t deal with trauma as they weren’t qualified for it, basically I applied for pip for my depression anxiety panic attacks , fibromyalgia eating disorder , PCOS , functioning scoliosis, structional LLD back pain but the assessor lied about everything I told her, even though she knew I was getting suicidal thoughts and was distraught , I sent the form back and everywhere she wrote I called her out on her lies, but by then I had enough and didn’t take it any further. But the fall out from her lies sent me spiralling. I have since been diagnosed with other things tinnitus , degenerative deafness, BPPV, vestibular migraines, vitamin D deficiency, slight osteoporosis, high platelets,hiatus hernia, gerd and osteoarthritis in my hands cause I got herbeden , boulchard nodes but doctor won’t send me for X-ray on my back hips or knees , he just said you prob got arthritis there and just referred me for physiotherapy , which I can’t do because I can’t have time off work cause I’m casual worker even though I work 35 hours a week every week 🙄 the therapist said I would need a few hours off a week for 6 weeks , I’d loose my job. I asked if I could do it after work or in holidays , they said it only in day time. So now one of my knee have got worse, if I sit for two long I can’t straighten my leg and if I sit with my leg straight I can’t bend it n pain is bad. Working Keeps my mind off my struggles but I’m in agony and struggling I take painkillers and medication . Sorry for the rant. But if you can access talking therapy they can’t do nothing for trauma, but they decent people and helped me find ways to cope, talking things through stopped my negative thinking getting the better of me, I didn’t want to be here no more but knowing that there were people who actually cared about me and took their time out to listen when I was at my lowest gave me the coping tools I needed to carry on in life , I’m still not well but I’m taking one day at a time, it could’ve been a lot different
I'm now just lost for words !! These people have no voice !!
Helen was spot on with her information, and did so well to challenge and correct the bias judgemental attitudes. Disabled people deserve to be able to live dignified lives, the attitude of the government towards the unwell as a whole is shocking and shameful. It is very clear the government do not represent the views and wishes of the public, who pay their wages and who they are meant to serve.
Got to pay for the dingy divers somehow
It's those who are NOT disabled, yet still claiming that are defrauding the system. Yet again those who need it will be punished.
Yep, and they know it, they just don't care.
To claim ny disability money... I had to produce over 200 pages of evidence written by professionals to a Tribunal court... And i still work albeit part-time... This government is out of touch. It took me 10 years to be diagnosed by the NHS and 10 years to receive treatment only to discover that my initial diagnosis of anxiety and depression is actually compkex PTSDand autism level 2...and guess what there is no treatment on the NHS for adult with complex PTSD or Autism...the anti-psychotic that I took while waiting for psychotherapy damaged my physical health to the point thar my boss wants to cut my 16 hours to 10 a week... But someone I'm a problem for this government and "clearly faking it". Shall i just go and unalive now because I don't see the point in what else they could be trying to achieve apart from cremating me?
The ones who are genuinely disabled, are always the ones punished because they're an easy target. The ones who could work but choose not to, are never the ones they catch up with because it's too hard to do.
PIP is very hard to get though. You need evidence from professionals to even be considered, and even if you do meet all the criteria it's more likely they'll reject you and your mountain of evidence and force the courts to look at it instead 2 years later, at which point all the monies owed are backdated.
@@ChrisAndCats PIP has nothing to do with whether someone can work. Most claiming it are in work.
They can propose whatever they want, they will be out on their arses shortly and none of it will matter/happen.
And just wait for labour to get in it will be far worse.
@@Letsgetiton41 How, exactly? The Tories have been in power for over a decade. Problems in the economy, are on them. More people claiming benefits, is on them. How will Labour make that mess worse?
I really hope ur right
@@Erakius323I think the Tory’s are messing things up on purpose knowing they are going to loose the general election but making it difficult for the next party in government, so that they can blame them for the mess the country’s in , then people over time will forget what the Tory’s have done and vote them back in power! Very tactful of them but we the people are not stupid and know exactly what they up to
Well said that woman
Depression and Anxiety is a REAL condition because I suffer from it. I'm 58 and have worked all my life until last year. My UC just allows me to scrape by in poverty. My money problems are one more big anxiety producing problem that are making my depression worse. I just applied for PIP but now it's obvious my poverty will continue.
Depressing.
Hi i also have anxiety come ofline babe dont watch this right now focus on you 100 a real condition and things like this can trigger it into overdrive but there are groups of activists working hard tht the media wont spotlight because it would bring attention to the amount of people who are against the idea but disabilitys and mental health advocateing is going hard ofc every human should worry but this isnt one for ur anxiety to ponder over im just sayin ❤
Maybe your local council can offer financial/emotional help.
You could try Welfare rights with your local council if the refuse your claim
@dianaj4431 thats basicly what there saying disabled people are being turned down by our councils because the gov our priminister is asking them to turn us down and this is the next stage of his plans
I am a 43 yr old woman and I have chronic pain that i take regular medications for...I have also been imprisoned in my own mind for the last 3 years. Something happened to me 3 years ago and it made me scared of my own shadow. I only leave my bedroom to use the bathroom and just that can send my heartrate skyrocketing. I am a shell of who i once was. Its not laziness or wanting others to pay for me, its a genuine, real fear.
We have tried to make ends meet with just my husbands 24K wage but with rent, food and energy prices so high we needed help. It got to the point where we were choosing between paying the rent or eating. I was malnourished and im now deficient in Iron, vitamin D and vitamin b12 which i need medications for. I have been receiving PIP for 3 months now and its helped us hugely with food and prescriptions. We don't drink, we don't smoke. I haven't bought myself new clothes in about 6 years. All i will say is if the government take that lifeline of Pip away from us then I don't know what we will do.
A giant leap backward towards the dark ages, I say.
As someone who gets pip, I don't want this to happen. Don't take our money.... Don't give our money to the foreigners and we don't want packages. We don't want to depend on anyone else. That's the whole point of the money is to make us independent and to spend it how we want
People who are less able bodied need all the help and support they can get, in accordance with their level of incapacity. It's not their fault they have these issues. Whatever helps the most for those who need it is what should be on offer. Remember, the sign of a caring society, is how well looked after it's children, elderly and vulnerable are.
Cutting disability benefits to fund wars. 👏🏼👏🏼
100% correct!!
Yes 12 billion too Ukraine on a war they won’t win that we the west caused for pushing nato on russias border even thoe we had an agreement. Now it’s the poor peoples fault we can’t give them more so there people can be 💀 in trenches for absolutely nothing, Great isn’t it !
Just to get one over on Russia … absolutely bizarre.
No you wrong .... Government have hidden in the bank over BILLIONS POUND 🙄🙄
The war cost the living crisis with the high energy costs, because of the Russian energy sanctions on them, like a domino effect
This is the work of the devil.
A.K.A. the tories
Why is the government putting new arrivals none British before the British that have paid into the system?

Im off sick at the moment. I have had 4 collapsed lungs and just been diagnosed with paraseptal emphysema. I can't breathe and need to go to hospital alot to various clinics atm. how am I going to pay for taxis, food, bills and transport with vouchers and talking therapy? Im also having to take more pain relief than usual, I can't bloody walk and i can barely talk. I didn't ask for this shit, nor did i want to lose a decent career. I hate the mindset that everyone who is sick is just lazy and needs to be punished. It's disgusting. Edit to add I don't smoke before anyone tries to use that against me.
Heavy smoker?
@@VenomGamingCenterNot a smoker, I have a gene that increased my risk for developing emphysema. (Marfan Syndrome) I'm only in my 30s. Most smoking related related emphysema occurs after 50. Its rare at my age but I am also asthmatic which increases my risk even further. I drew the short straw.
I totally hear you.. very depressing that this government is so out of touch and has no sympathy. I’ve been on the waiting list for so long for an operation which will reduce my pain so I can happily go back to work. Not everyone who’s unable to work doesn’t want to work.
The waiting lists for treatment has definitely made people who were sick deteriorate. I hope you recover soon
These conservatives aren't getting in power again to implement these changes hopefully 😢
Why the hell are we sending money to Ukraine? WHY? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR US

Gov: “what’s that you have depression and anxiety because council tax, rent to a landlord who won’t fix your problems around the house just as long as they receive their rent at the end of the month, gas and electric too expensive and you can’t look after your personal hygiene, employers always saying no to you because you don’t have the experience or qualifications that are preferred for that specific job and they can’t be bothered to teach new people the trade, not a problem heres a food stamp enjoy” 😂utter criminal it’s not only dehumanising there is absolutely no empathy whatsoever and I’m a full time worker and disagree with them attacking the vulnerable like that it’s disgusting same with the fit note fiasco
All of this attack on the sick while David Cameron blows £42,000,000 of taxpayers money on a luxury private jet ! Fucxing Unbelievable!
Best way to solve this problem…. Pay a living wage. Give people a reason to work.
If wages covered the cost of living, less people would claim benefits.
Yes and no. "Who's cost of living?" Mine? I can get by on less than £10,000 a year - or a family who CHOSE to buy a £300,000 house have 4 children, drive a tesla and have 3 holidays a year. There are people who get benefits who have done this. CHild benefits are paid to families even with income up to £50,000 FIFITY THOUSAND POUNDS and they STILL get child benefit.. WHY? Give people a reason to work? Fuck you, you, should be working as a matter of habit. Benefits IS WHY THEY DONT WORK - cut benefits, more peopel working, more money into the economy, less tax burden and the society as a whole IMPROVES. Giving people a reason NOT TO WORK with benefits SHRINKS THE ECONOMY and hurts EVERYONE.
The minimum wage is £429 per week.
@@rafezetter8003 tell it to the kids who now know they’ll never own their own home. And have to pay 4/5 of their wages on rent and bills, for the rest of their lives with that ratio getting bigger by the year.
You tell them to work for nothing. I have 2 jobs and I’m fine with people who have 0.
I understand why they don’t want to get a job just to struggle all the same. It simply isn’t worth it anymore.
It’s going to get even worse too, as the utter extortion progresses… it won’t be long before you won’t be allowed to ride a bicycle freely..
The kids have no future. Job or not.
@@WotsisFace Shame. Nobody's ever had to do it before.
They received benefit and also work for cash under the table.
This is CBDCs through the back door.
Firstly remove the salaries of MPs and replace cash renumerations of their services with vouchers.
If the scheme works without abuse by politicians for a term of parliament, maybe then we should review the situation.
Why does the prime minister never pay his own bills when he's so rich?
That's why he's so rich taxpayers paying this idiotic unelected prime ministers bills,time this government was gone
@@lindark28 Hear Hear!
We have a voucher system in the US. It's a disaster. Landlords with decent buildings find ways to avoid taking the vouchers so the disabled end up limited to slum housing. Also you can't budget with food stamps to get extra toilet paper or aspirin if you need it. The whole system is dehumanizing and keeps disabled people struggling.
The govt will be gone soon
Why not just have labour camps to satisfy him ! Im terminal and still have had my disability cut im proper struggling now.
Im so sorry.....its just disgusting. My heart goes out to you😢
x❤x Best Wishes Robert People only think it's funny until they're ill themself
They make out as if 19 billion is a lot what is hilarious because the uk made 2.274 TRILLION in 2023 we have also given Ukraine 12 billion on a pointless war and 9 billion in aid for the Israel-Palestine war.

My feet are actually weeping both blood and water, and I'm still being put through this vicious crap!
Just wait whilst the 'refugees' that are taken to Rwanda are swapped with the ill/disabled/hospitalized from that country.......that's the deal isn't it Sunak??
I receive PIP (Personnal Independance Payment). I have to get a taxi to and from the hospital because the ambulance isn't available (either no answer on phone or fully booked when you get through) for me in my wheelchair. It costs me £120 per hospital visit because I live rurally. I can't imagine the local rural taxi firm taking vouchers.
We as a country are more than happy to give billions to countries around the world or to help fund a war in Eastern Europe that has nothing to do with us, but when it comes to our own, well, they can go to hell as far as our politicians are concerned.
Add the amount they send abroad and millions they let in annually probably amounts to 80 billion extra a year, something has to give, um so its the most vulnerable who will be scapegoated to death probably, really depressed people are just holding on
If your disabled, you will have to go to France, and get on a boat.
Itchy just got 10 million in private funds, is he going to hand it back and Accept Vouchers instead?? What about that 5.4Billion in Furlough Disappearance, he's Never been asked to Clarify.......
Thank you Helen for what you said. I am going through reassessment for pip at the moment.
It makes you feel really ill especially having a rare condition as well as anxiety and depression. You really feel utter despair. Very best wishes from Liz in Lancashire xxx ❤
What happens if they give food stamps to someone for tesco and there isnt a tesco in there town coz i live in a rural area and i get taxi's im in receipt of PIP and unless i go to a supermarket which isnt often coz it costs £15-£20 for a taxi im paying more straight out the gate for things. Its a joke. Things need to be reformed. Start with illegals and tax avoidance
How about the government releasing the figures of who's actually getting these benefits? I suspect we would see a lot of names from Romania on there.
Yup and also live there too while claiming British benefits, they do that fraud all over Europe, that's why they can build mansions
100%
Tax wealth and make the rich pay their way!
I'm left disabled due to neglect during the pandemic can those left disabled be compensated for the absolute neglect which caused many to suffer unnecessarily an turn their lives upside down
