I tell you what she can keep her money, what I want is for her to spend just one day in my office, just one day with the public. I do it all day 2-3 days a week 5 in recess. I just ask her for 1 day. I just want them to get it.https://twitter.com/jessphillips/status/1102548312455106561 …

Go and talk to people on the streets in Castleford or Wakefield and tell me that Brexit has nothing to do with poverty..... it has everything to do with poverty - of pocket and of thought. The necessity of the 2008 crash was to make bankers pay.... haven't seen that happen!

She meant Govt policy on leaving the EU

No I didn’t, maybe if you spent less time presuming what people mean and more time actually understanding you’d be a better journalist. Instead you’re a bitter and privileged hack without a clue!

However some NHS services are being tendered out to private firms at a cost to the taxpayer. UC is fine in principle but failures in it's roll out have been a disaster for those new claimants and those forced to switch benefits...

... sanctions applied, and upheld, against claimants who miss one appointment with the Dwp after they have double booked them with another appointment about the same time the opposite side of town are criminal. The ATOS medical exams are a con, carried out by non medical staff.

Cuts to benefits weren’t brought in until 2010 under the Tories a whole three years after the financial crash. UC is widely known to be useless. NHS contracts are being given out to private firms like VirginCare. Brexit will make people poorer, read the LSE report. Do better!!

I might be unpopular here but Universal Credit is a good idea. Under a Lib Dem or Labour government it could have been a huge step forward, giving people control and dignity. instead the conservatives couldn't help but play politics with people's lives. Nasty Tory fail.
-
No I actually agree with you (we can have unpopular opinions together). The basis behind it is good and absolutely gives recipients the autonomy others are afforded. But as you say the Tories fucked it up good and proper and now more people than ever are reliant on Foodbanks etc.

The first most certainly is not a basic fact. Ideologically driven response to scale back the state, which has led to deaths.

Nope. The correct capitalist thing to have done was ring fence a bank, keep toxic asset in the failed market place. Use QE to invest in infrastructure etc. What was done was absolutely diabolical, and unnecessary and cruel. England really has screwed up big time this time
