Can she really not imagine having a third child & then losing your job/ becoming sick
This isn't hard
And even if the parents are "reckless", should we punish the child?
Sorry, your parents didn't think this through, you're going to have to go hungry
That Jo White's argument makes no distinction between largely imaginary people pumping out babies to milk the system and people who have a baby when financially able to do so but then fall on hard times should be obvious to the faintest intellect (which is why it is beyond her grasp, clearly).
So people who can afford 3+ children are ok if they can afford it, but if they failed to see Truss crashing the economy, Covid, the impact of AI and US tariffs coming they should be stigmatised, scolded and their kids deprived for generations to come? Is this Labour I'm talking to???!
‘The benefits system is there to support ppl when they’re at their greatest need, EXCEPT CHILDREN IN POVERTY and should be there throughout life if needed EXCEPT DURING CHILDHOOD’
Hmmmm...there is a very small minority to whom her words about having kids & never getting off benefits does apply. But for the real majority this is simply not the case. You can have a job, 3 kids & an affordable mortgage & still lose it overnight if you're made jobless.
McSweeney and the entire core of the Labour bureaucracy need to be put against a wall. The state of the PLP should inform any socialist active in electoral politics that vicious persecution is the only appropriate response to rightist organising within a party.
I genuinely don't know how many times it has to be explained to these morons that whilst you may make a decision to have more children when you are financially able to support them, that may not still be the case for all of the next 18 years.
