Work Capability Assessment, introduced by Labour in 2008. Would you rather the decision of whether someone is eligible be made by their GP? How much pressure are they going to be under to sign off their patient, even if they think they’re not eligible? The current system has its flaws, but aren’t the principles of an independent decision based on what someone is capable of regularly reviewed the right ones?
A GP has access to their patients record, has dealings with that patient on a regular basis, so they are more suited to give a medical assessment of someone than an assessor from Capita.
If you were still expecting a pension at 60, you weren’t paying attention for the last 25 years. Pension age equalisation was set in the Pensions Act 1995. Surely ending sex discrimination is something to be applauded?
So the numerous cases of the WASPI women who haven't even had a single communication from the government should sit down and shut up. They deserve compensating for the fact that they've been materially misled by two Tory governments.
Plus women traditionally didn't work as long because as well as working, they raised a family as well. Unless you want the population to die out.
the debt may look large, but it’s fairly irrelevant. You’re not paying anything until you earn a reasonable salary and are only a small percentage of the salary over the threshold. It’s written off after a period of time or if you become permanently unfit for work.
The introduction of fees (Labour) have allowed more people than ever to go to University, more people from disadvantaged backgrounds go in England with fees than Scotland where there aren’t.
But at least the fees under labour were not as high as what the coalition put them up to. And then who bares the cost of write offs of them? The taxpayer. Debt is still debt.
I think you need to fix your list if you’re going to claim all of these for the last 9 years.
I think you need to look back at the last 9 years and how this country has suffered, and how it will suffer even more if Boris and his babbling bumbling band of baboons. I've seen these things.
One of my relatives has arthritis and I've seen what their condition has been on both a good and a bad day. They had to take their PIP assessment to Tribunal as the assessor from Capita said they weren't eligible, even though they couldn't even walk to the front door of their house.
I've worked in the public sector since 2007, since I left school, opting for a trade (customer service and administration) rather than further education. I've seen colleagues leave and not been replaced because of there not being enough money in the department to replacement because of Austerity.
I've dealt with customer enquiries, some of which is something that is dealt with the Police, but when I've redirected customers to the local police, I've been told that the Police have told those customers that they don't/can't deal with it.
A friend of mine tried to visit their local CAB to find out that they are now only open 3 days a week.
Yet you see in the news about the likes of Richard Branson, Roman Abramovich, Phillip Green and Mike Ashley buying up everything they can, yet you've got people on the bread line having to use food banks.
I am really worried because if Boris gets back in, he will make our country even poorer with a potential no deal Brexit.
I am really worried, because he wants to break trade unions, reduce workers rights and cause even more jobs to be lost. In my 12 years of employment, I've been a union member for 11 of them, and I don't appreciate my rights as a worker eroded.
I am really worried, because Johnson wants to sell off our NHS in a salami style process, slice by slice. Meaning that people like my relative above, or my late grandfather, who had 2 strokes in his life, would have to pay a fortune for their treatments.
There again, for people like Johnson and Rees-Mogg, they are probably in a similar opinion of Scrooge, that if the very bottom of our country
would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.
