“Guys, we’re going to save 50 billion buy cutting all support to disabled people”

For what purpose? If you remove all welfare, what is the purpose of the government? Who would those savings benefit? The answer is tax breaks for the rich.

The only people who would vote for Reform are the ultra rich, the ultra stupid, or the ultra racist. “Yes, I’d like the party that actively promises to make everything worse.”

    So it seems they’re not even doing what they advertise - they’re supposed to be the anti immigration party, so cutting welfare to immigrants or racial minorities before cutting welfare to the disabled would make more sense. Yet they proudly announce this, first? Idk if i was a politician i wouldn’t declare war on everyone at once

      You’re exactly right.

      Writing in The Telegraph, Mr Jenrick said: “We will not pretend this is painless.

      He won’t be the one feeling the pain, he is openly admitting that he is setting out to cause pain to British citizens.

    Reminder for people who don’t follow the situation closely, Reform UK is the MAGA party of the UK.

    This is the kind of shit that ultimately gets more politicians killed. Lots of people have disabled family members or will become disabled in the future. This will be a dramatic increase in their cost of living as they have to support their family or watch them become homeless or die. That will lead to a massive increase in class-based rage that is more and more likely to bubble over into massive violence against the perpetrators.
