We're seen as 'useless eaters'. If you cant work you have NO place in Labour's brave new world. #pip #welfarereform

A truly sad day for sick and disabled people.

As we approach pip cut and made more difficult to get I read about the safeguards being voted down within the assisted dying legislation add WFA cuts, nhs failures, and overseas aid cuts, what will be the labour death toll?

Yep, so far EVERY safeguard has been removed (voted down), it's barely concealed democide of the most vulnerable

hotchkiss13.bsky.social•46 days ago

The removal of the requirement to record communication is very chilling. It removes the ability to investigate events leading up to a death.

Because then they've got "plausible deniability" for the inevitable incidences of vulnerable people being coerced by family, health "professionals" etc 🤮

When looked at in concert with the fact that all the promised safeguards that were promised for the "assisted dying" act are being removed (voted down) then it's clear that #eugenics and #democide are at play
