Social security is a human right. Cutting it is a political choice. One that will hurt the most marginalised.

And removing people from treatment programs who don't need it is albeit difficult to assess, but necessary. People in real need have to wait longer as a result. I know this from my epileptic sister's case.

The cuts are necessary?

No. Cuts to those receiving benefits are not what is planned. Nor is it the answer. But more diligent assessments of eligibility are.

Btw, my sister receives no benefits and waited 3 years to be assessed as epileptic. Guess why?

Because of the fucking cuts. They're the cause of the problem.

No. Because of the waiting lists. I speak from experience. You?

Starmer hates disabled people. That is the reason this is happening. He always has. That disabled brother story cemented it for me.
