        @BBCBreaking The lack of intelligence behind some replies underlines why poor #dwp policy is made, resulting in 32 deaths a week. #atos

        . @BBCBreaking Let's have unpaid work placements for MPs for their first year. No expenses. Let's have a law for that.

        @BBCBreaking they say unpaid but they work for their benefits. So they should, people should not expect to get money for doing nothing. Lazy

        @BBCBreaking I do think that anybody on benefits should do some work,. How much has this court case cost and who is paying for it? .

        @BBCBreaking It is not unpaid work. As a taxpayer, I pay them. If they weren't drawing benefits they wouldn't have to be on the scheme.
