1/ OK everyone - Daily Mail have identified seats they want people to vote Tory in to try and reduce Labour majority
So vote against Tories in all of these seats
Tactical votes will count
1/ The Half Billionaire targeting those on benefits - a life experience story
As is pretty well known on here my partner has several disabilities including bowel issues, a functional neurological disorder
#ToriesOut652 #SunakOut542 #GeneralElectionNow #Sunackered #WeaklingSunak
2/ Dystonia and depression amongst others.
In 2017 I had a 'collapse' at work later identified as caused by a slight heart murmer and a leaky mitral valve
In the 8 months they took to diagnose me - her health deteriorated so I had become her unpaid carer
3/ For the first time on our lives we had to claim benefit.
As if the forms were not bad enough they demanded face to face interviews.... fine for me near impossible for my partner.
Initial UC agreed but then we had to 'apply' and be assessed for the disability component
TRIAL - Additional Jobcentre Support
intensive support if no movement after 7 weeks of claim - in England and Scotland
Over 30 months - Expanding Restart scheme
Intensive support after 6 month on benefit currently 9. 50k extra places by June 2026
Extended until June 2026
3/ - Introducing a 'claimant review point'
after 12 months and still unemployed - if claimant refuses to accept new condition claim can be closed
TRIAL - Mandatory work placements
if not in employment after Restart scheme
Benefit could be stopped
