Red Tories round these parts

And inconsistencies therein.

There are people paralysed from the neck down who can’t get a 4 let alone an 8

That is the case in its current iteration. By linking PIP to LCWRA/UC Health in the future, it will be difficult to separate them even though there will still be in-work PIP claimants.

I think that’s already occurred to the disabled campaigners who have been working tirelessly on this for months… Google is your friend for government figures.

Ooooh Kemi Badenoch just said they can’t support the amended “botched” revised bill…

I think the “kill the bill” phase 1 rebels know this, it’s all going down to the wire on this vote. If it gets defeated it could end Starmer
