Labour’s 5bn welfare savings- newspeak.

It all helps...

Nothing can help us now - nada

Only destination from here is default

Typical Starmer, talks big, delivers next to nowt.

Skivers laughing all the way to the new car showrooms.

The country will be bankrupt within 10 years.

Pretty obvious they are not there to deliver - just to take

less than 10 years imo

This was more predictable than tomorrow being Wednesday. Tedious politics but the legacy media are the coalition of the willing. More than happy to help.

Too many people coming into the country and claiming benefits is the problem.

Percentagewise 'Middle Class' Labour support must be approaching single figures now. Just the scroungers and the gullible left cheering on this disaster of a government

Too many people coming into the country and claiming benefits is the problem.

Straight on PIP

Plenty of public sector “Middle Class� with gold plated pensions, above inflation pay rises, job security.

These are likely to vote to keep the gravy train on the tracks even if country heads towards a depressing future.

Beauty in the Daily Mail today where a one called Camilla Bains gave ownership of over £1 million to her daughters so she could continue to collect her means tested ill health benefits.

Is it people like her these cuts are aimed at?

Hopefully. But you're allowed to give your money away, as long as there's no beneficial interest and don't die soon after, doesn't concern the state.

Just for the record you guys are annoyed that conservative policies have been put into place.

What did the Conservatives do in the last 14 years to stop abuse of fraudy benefit claimants?

Well worth a read and actually what a good judge to give her daughters the 800k house as her greed for the 8k a year cost her bigtime, DSW should now follow on and ask for a recompense if due.

Overall i think it is a desperate measure, you are depriving people (mostly) that would spend it straight away and goes to show how precarious the UKs economy is.

People arrange their affairs to get taxpayer handouts and pay as little tax as possible. Doesn't matter where you are on the wealth scale. Like consultants leaving the NHS to avoid lta.

It's what you get with a welfare state that encourages people to milk it.

too many people allowed to leach off the hard working

The last Tory gov basically kicked everyone off sick benefit,pip benefit.80% won on appeal,

This as been done before.

But it’s good keir is copying the tories crap,no one wants these scroungers getting away with a few quid when the rest of us have to fund them.

Also,I’m really pleased lord bamford and lady moone,have had their tax debts written off,500mill and 232 mill,they and their families can sleep easy now,knowing this ruthless gov won’t be hounding them,and can focus the states muscle on the guy at the end of the street conning us out of 12 quid a week.

5 billion over 5 years, is that it? They have budgeted 5 billion a year for immigrants.
It doesn't look good.

37.5 billion track and trace where is it???

Liz Kendall she must be related to Liz Truss an article with her saying youth unemploymemt will be pushed to join the army,she's stark raving bonkers absolutely clueless and nasty piece of work..Vile woman ranting in every interview...

Could make a massive saving by closing all the Job Centers they are clearly not fit for purpose

Infact what is their Purpose ?

There are over 600 Jobcentres in the UK,   How much are they costing to Run ?

People attending for 15 Mins  For What ? Surely going forward AI could deal with all this ,Claims are made online if people are following the Rules Why is there a need to go to a Job center ?

The Long term sick dont even Go , So what are they actually doing at these so call Job Centers , Sweet fanny adams imo

The cost of running them must be Enormous ?

The cost of running Jobcentres in the UK is substantial, with a 20-year PFI deal for job centre buildings costing taxpayers an estimated £13 billion, significantly exceeding the initial £2 billion estimate.

thats the  Buildings alone , never mind the thousands of staff in them  swanning around with their Gold Plated pensions unlimited sick leave and 8 weeks holiday a Year ,that must running into how Many Billions ?

That's where cuts can surely be made that will be more than 5 billion

The DWP under Blair sold all the buildings to a private company

In 1998, the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) sold hundreds of job centre buildings to a private consortium, then leased them back in a 20-year deal.
Initial Estimate vs. Actual Cost:
The initial estimate for this Private Finance Initiative (PFI) deal was £2 billion, with a projected £500 million saving for the public purse. However, the final bill soared to £13 billion, an increase of £11 billion.


Comical and they are after folks in wheel chairs to retrieve the Losses

£99,303 per year (estimate) for a Job Captain WTF how many of them are at each Center ?

Liz Kendall

It's not fit for purpose and it has to change. “When only one in six employers use a jobcentre to recruit, that is a major issue

Close the Lot Down will Save billions , The service that is supposed to provide Help to get a Job is infact UELESS

That 1 in 6 ,Post Jobs on a Government Job Site that;s all that Means,the more I look into this, the more you have to wonder how many Billions have been wasted

if this craic was going on in the states they would all be shut down , why has this endless waste of public Money been allowed to Continue ?

Never mind Joe Bloggs and his Dodgey Back ,whiile we are at it lets have a Look at the DWP itself and Certainly these waste of Space Job centers

Same scam as chagos, give away something you already own and pay massive bundles rent it back. With vast amounts of money skimmed by lawyers and cronies.

The whole operation is unfit for Purpose , from what I can make out within a Year or two AI will be able to the Job these Civil Servants are doing , and will certainly be able to highlight problems better

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I have dyslexia
Where's my PIP?

More cuts incoming as borrowing figures this morning were higher than expected.

37.5 billion track and trace where is it???

Most of it went in to the arms of all the fearties and the people they coerced to have it put in their arms.

Stand by for the War Blackhole  , Lets hope its not a large one with thousands of our Troops in it ..

37.5 billion track and trace where is it???


They're still searching for all the people that supported every lockdown measure, pushed for more, and took multiple jabs [numpties]. They've all disappeared !

My aunt and uncle both claim carers allowance for each other,how can one claim carers allowance for giving care to the other and vice versa when claiming care for yourself.work that one out.

Shame on us!
