Cutting benefits to meet made-up fiscal rules is a choice. A harmful and shortsighted decision that is not necessary, and it is not likely to succeed. Other options exist, and should be pursued. #wealthtax

Reading The Times report on speculated PIP cuts, I’m struck by not only how many people will lose vital support but how much we are already degraded to qualify. Have a stranger ask you how you wash “below the waist” and then tell us how easy it is to claim disability benefits.

Needing help to wash your hair or your body below the waist would not meet the new threshold while needing help to wash your upper body would. Needing help going to the lavatory is above the threshold, but needing reminding to go would fall below it. Needing prompting to engage with other people face to face would not meet the new test; needing help to do so would.

Cutting welfare spending would squeeze living standards for the poorest and undermine the government's growth mission. Hannah Peaker responds to rumours there will be billions in welfare cuts at the Spring Statement.

Quote from Hannah Peaker, deputy chief executive: Trailed cuts to welfare will mean an even bigger squeeze on living standards for the poorest, undermining the government’s growth mission and flying in the face of their child poverty strategy. Justifying this decision by saying that Reeves' "financial buffer" has been wiped out is folly: the fiscal rules which define the government's spending headroom are entirely self-imposed and can be changed at the flick of the chancellor's pen.
