The “moral case” for reforming welfare benefits should not mean further punishing and vilifying the vulnerable. It should mean tackling inequality and the oppressive powerlessness experienced by far too many workers.

The Guardian being a case in point only this week …
I am so disappointed in yet more focus on squeezing a possible tiny amount from a few who would at least spend it than going after tax evasion or wealth taxes of the exceedingly rich where their money is just in a bank offshore! Where they'd get so much more money for their efforts.
🤬 This will push more people with disabilities into poverty‼️
Charities and even 80 Labour MPs – a fifth of the party – oppose these plans. We need to show the public’s voice with a huge petition saying NO to these cruel cuts...
So tired of "the rich will take their wealth elsewhere" mantra.
They already have... to offshore tax havens!!
In 1997 people didn't start to feel richer until yr 2000
I didn't have a car, pets, go on holiday or socialise, but I could buy whatever I wanted at the supermarket including vintage port...1/4. full post v. profile
23% of everything you earn, incl employers contribs
Your pension is deferred
-£54,000
You need a life saving op. NHS won't even quote a lead time. So borrow £20,000 for private care
As a 24/7 carer, your allowance goes as you have a pension. But you're still the carer
Another needed £16,000 for a knee op, another paid for a hip replacement
I had chest pains
My GP sent me immediately to A&E
I was there 14 hours straight.
At midnight when the drunks and disorderly were abusing the staff I left, untreated
Similarly with NHS & Social Care.
Lib Dems or Greens are the only way forward, whatever works best locally.

You can't tax what you choose not to see.
But zero on reform of corporate welfare, tax fraud, & tax evasion.
I wonder why? Could it be wealthy party donors?
