@JuliaHB1 OK, so belatedly you've admitted your tweet was wrong. Your article didn't mention the hours rule, because you didn't what it was -
@jdportes Really?! You think I was a political editor for 10 years, my mum works at CAB & best friend at JobCentre, I spent 4 years ... -
@JuliaHB1 "families where only one adult is in work and, despite being perfectly able-bodied, may only be working part-time." True or false? -
@jdportes TRUE!!!!!!!!!

@JuliaHB1@jdportes One thing that *is* factually incorrect (or as far I can see quite unsubstantiated...)pic.twitter.com/5ye88tSPa2

@StrongerInNos ps. Feel free to check the stats yourself. I provide document info in the article. Google the doc and read it yourself! -
@JuliaHB1 1/2 I have a good knowledge of the stats. Nothing can be inferred about the general able-bodiedness of non-working partners. -
@StrongerInNos The stats break down by any household member (adult or child) claiming disability, sickness. These stats are for able-bodied. -
@JuliaHB1@jdportes@StrongerInNos Are they? Because not claiming a benefit isnt evidence. Many dont claim because its a cruel process. -
@Hossylass@JuliaHB1@StrongerInNos is correct. The non-working partner could be disabled (& indeed claiming eg lower rate DLA,, I think) -
@jdportes@Hossylass@StrongerInNos stats show 126k disabled claiming WTC, with 175k disabled children, a tiny fraction of total claimants -
@JuliaHB1@Hossylass But@StrongerInNos is correct, isn't he? Doesn't tell you non-working partner isn't disabled. - 2 more replies
