1/2 Cuts to support for disabled and long-term sick people would be devastating and are absolutely wrong on their own terms. But their effect is more pernicious than that, as I explain in this excerpt from a speech I gave to an anti-disability benefits cuts demo in Norwich recently.

And this is why Starmer will never out-Reform Reform. He could give the whole Rivers of Blood speech and the Enoch Powell fan clubs would reject him. They’ve picked their man for their uncompromising rhetoric… all Starmer is doing is losing his base by showing he’s unprincipled on any position.

To anyone still in the Labour Party. When you joined was it to parrot Enoch Powell and the National Front? Did you want to push disabled people into poverty? Did you think you’d be actively ensuring children and pensioners were in poverty? If not, why are you in a party that is doing this? Leave.
