Thread: Just a few of the people who have died after being found 'fit for work'. When the Govt, DWP & media speak of 'scroungers', these are the people they are talking about. You decide.

1. Forced onto the work programme, Sheila died without regaining consciousness Image 2. A rare terminal cancer left David blind, but DWP still classed him as 'fit for work' Image

Thread: 1/10 Who is to blame for the loss of safe Labour seats in the North? Tony Blair & New Labour. Through all the social and economic devastation of the 80s & 90s those seats kept faith with Labour, hoping that the eventual election of a Labour govt 2/10 would rectify matters. What we got instead was more of the same Thatcherite policies with the North left to rot while Blair, Campbell & Co courted their new friends in the South. Labour become associated exclusively with minority causes & identity politics.
