Ministers appear to be set to announce cuts to a flagship disability employment scheme, just as the government is trying to push more disabled people towards the workplace.

How is AtW funded? It makes sense to me that all employers should pay a %contribution tax, ringfenced for this purpose. Small businesses would struggle to shoulder any direct costs and just avoid hiring disabled people surely?
Sounds like USA -it’s all horrid people trying to pretend that the disabled, Black people, Immigrants, Women are dragging down the work force. So let’s kick them all out by saying DEI is about hiring inept workers over our wonderful able bodied white men. And let’s make birth control illegal too! 🙄🤬

Also Gov: 'demand for support to not work is too high'
It's not demands, it's needs. Just cutting support doesn't stop the need, it just makes the situation worse for the other side.
