To absolutely hate this government, and what they are doing to our country?

Strong words but is is how I feel at this point in time. All of them make me feel physically sick. The latest example -

No wonder Labour won't cut benefits. More than half of Burnham's MPs represent seats where claimant count is higher than their Commons majority

You will not mind if you are called out the next time you post misinformation, then. On whichever thread that may be.

So it isn't set to double in three years?

The PP made a very bold assertion.

I am calling them out on it.

If you feel threatened, that’s on you.

And how does that make it any better?

I didn't realise this was a frequent tactic of the OP. I joined thinking we might actually get a decent debate going.....how wrong could I be. I know now to avoid in future.

Just mansplainng then

To 2030 / 2031 is with Labour in power. Regardless it wasn’t misinformation as some claimed.

Doubling over those periods is going to be problematic.

Do you have an issue with men?

Eleven of them in fact.

.

The imperative message in the link you supply is this:

Of the 4.1 million claimants, those aged 50 and above accounted for more than half.

Just under three in ten were aged 30 to 49, while 17% of claimants were aged 16 to 29.

Which would suggest that those over 50 claiming the benefit and a few below that age, have been moved from the old system, DLA, to the new system, which is PIP.

And don't get me started on the old 'adjusting for today's inflation rates' nonsense.

The Times is a right wing paper, they're not going to publish anything positive about Labour.

The uk is fucked, I agree but it was fucked under the tories first.

I've no idea who or what coukd make it better at this point.

nice one

and the picture of the Times headline you were happily sharing earlier on was claiming PIP to double by 2030...

27.3 x 2 does not equal 41.5, not even close

do you not check things for factual accuracy before posting?

or is it a fundamental problem with basic maths? 😂

Stopping endless rounds of tax rises would be a start.

Women don't ask to be raped. Disruptive protestors are kinda asking to be removed. If they continue their disruption (which they love to do) force needs to be used to remove them.

The same way I remember the road blockers I didn't feel sad when people physically grabbed them and moved on..or sprayed ink on them.

Again, you’re the one embarrassing yourself? You clearly have access to a phone but refuse to fact check anything. The Labour government commissioned the Casey audit to examine perpetrator ethnicity and have now mandated improved data collection around ethnicity. I’m not a Labour voter, but would point out, like many others have, that they have only been in power for 2 years. I think maybe you need to question why the Tories didn’t do more to publish the data you’re so interested in.

I’d also love to know what right wing thinkers will do if data is published and it shows that when ethnicity was recorded the statistics are comparable with population distribution, or even that ethnic minorities were over represented. Will they dismiss the findings or be big enough to agree that perhaps their views were based in ingrained prejudice and racism.

What endless rounds of tax rises? Mine hasn’t gone up once.

Not a fan of free speech, then? If annoying protesters deserve to be assaulted by random members of the public? Good to know.

Let’s see. The OBR is assessing now for the budget. They’ll be assessing future figures. The story is more up to date.

Ik if you only stick to BlueSky / Guardian you’ll dismiss the Times but generally they will act on what sources give them.

And I gave you clear proof of that assertion which you seem to be ignoring.

They aren't interested in facts.

If you use that argument I think it’s safe to say that reform and restore politicians also ‘have it coming’ for promoting such inflammatory views and constantly attacking the most vulnerable in society. She wasn’t physically removed by security, she was attacked by audience members who were then cheered on by the reform politicians.

Don't forget Rwanda, taking back control and holding all the cards/sunlit uplands.

Evading the facts there ES?

Yes, you are fond of telling everyone that.
