IN The face of the growing opposition, the government eventually stopped ignoring warnings from self-contained backberations and made disability changes benefits the bill. No one hesitated These concessions accepted. But the real question is if it’s enough. For me and many of my co-workers, the answer is clear – they don’t.
Best, these concessions make a terrible bill a little bad. But the bullet represents a hilarious attack on disabled. It still targets billions of support from those who need it, still forcing many poverty, and preventing dignity and independence of disabled. As an instance of how the cuts are still, the MPs are asked to vote Tuesday to disabled people to take assistance to basic tasks such as cutting foods, wash themselves or using the toilet.
If these cuts continue, close to half a million people with disabled lose their personal independence fees between the end of next year and 2030. Often, they lose £ 4,500 a year – about £ 100 a week. That’s a change in life changing people who rely on PIP to help further disability costs, including one of the six PIP recipients in office for office budget.
On top of that, there is a deep cut of the Universal Credit Health Component for non-earned diseases and disabled. Three quarters of a million new claimants will be forced at a rate of half current level and leave £ 3,000 a year worse. For people who struggled to end, this is not a cut – it’s a danger.
And how can it be right that one qualified for support now does not deny it simply unstoppable after next November? Do we want a system of two tier where future generations of disabled will receive little support than disabled right now? Especially when three of four of those who use food banks disabled themselves or live with someone.
All these flies on the face of what should be an essential goal of every government work: to raise people from poverty, don’t keep it. It is not surprising that those who have disabled organizations with people, including self-affiliate labor Meaning The hard work, stay strong as opposed to this bill.
Of course, ministers were sent to claim these changes about helping people. But if you cut the billions of important support to disabled people, you are unreasonable to actually claim to help them. The fact that these changes are driven by the desire to save. Even after concessions, most of the original cuts are still planned to bill – worth £ 3.5bn.
Unfortunately, the government has made a deliberate option to balance the books of disabled disabled instead of following the extra options to tax the wider shoulder. So many fairer alternatives have existed. As an example of one of them, I will be prepared a PARLIAMENT PETION On the eve of the vote, sponsored by more than 75,000 people, calling for a treasure tax. Such taxes of 2% of properties over £ 10m will be able to take £ 24bn a year – over six times viewed in government storage from these cuts.
It also becomes popular, with a new poll showing that two-thirds of the tax-supporting people increase rich. This is a policy to put working Firmly on the right side of the public opinion – something the government struggles in its first year.
As we count to the vote on Tuesday, there are additional pressure on MPs to fall into line, accept concessions as adequate and return the bill. But the question that MPs should need to ask themselves not if this bill is better than this before concessions. This is if this bill leaves the disabled worse than today. The answer is clear.
So I vote against it. And that’s why I call the government to remove the bill completely.
The government treats it as a political problem to solve before the vote on Tuesday. But this is an artificial deadline. Why not postpone the vote and then use the next months to get it right? Works with disabled people, we can design a system of benefit fairly and mercifully, recognized the obstacles that should survive full, independent life.
While we mark a year of government work, it is about our qualities – and the class of the country we want to build.
