People need to get this into their heads. I have been on top-rate ESA for 16 years. Its rate was frozen for much of that under the Tories (+ LibDems). My yearly income has been between £2.4 and £7.6K, mostly hovering around £6-6.5K. You. Can’t. Fkin. Live. On. This. You can’t EXIST on it.

For scale, the year I claimed sickness benefit my entire income was less that £7000.
