Autumn Statement sees the Tories bash benefits for votes. AGAIN.

Bashing benefits is the main takeaway from the Autumn Statement, whilst tax sweeteners hope you'll forget about it.
Right, so the Autumn Statement has come around again and the mad-eyed laughing assassin that is Jeremy ‘sounds like’ Hunt has wheeled out some interesting policy ideas, but the whole shebang had already been overshadowed by another wanton attack on those on benefits, whilst cheering the fall in inflation as justification for tax cuts, when this just means less money for public services? How about instead of attacking the disabled and saying if they can work they should work, instead of saying oh look, all these people who could work from home during the pandemic have proven disabled people at home could do that sort of work too and what kind of light does the sickening and utterly cruel red meat for the frothing right wing gammonati that the Tories are intent on killing off yet more of those with the greatest needs instead of supporting them properly, because this isn’t a carrot they’re being offered, it’s a great big stick again.
Right, so as ever most of what is coming in the budget and the Autumn Statement got leaked ahead of time, so we knew benefits bashing was once again on the agenda. You should work, it’s what we Tories believe in and if you can’t well, we’ll help you shuffle off this mortal coil. 330,000 people have died due to Tory benefit reforms, 330,000 long term sick and disabled people not helped into work, but into their graves, on Welfare policy alone, the Tories should have been wiped out, but as recent history has sadly shown, too many people in society think that’s a great policy, because why should some people get some money that you can’t when you’re struggling too? Politics of envy, divide and conquer the working classes, missing the point entirely that your health is quite clearly better than theirs and that is why they get extra support.
There’s a better question you could ask yourselves of course and that is why have the Tories not given you more money before the crumbs they are offering now, instead of blowing £100bn in just the last 4 years? The Pandemic waster, Michelle Mone and the other PPE oligarchs, that’s exactly what they should be known as, Dido Harding, where did she lose the track and trace money? Where even is their apology for that as they now say to disabled people, get to work or we’ll cut off your incomes, we’ll cut off your access to healthcare and dentistry and legal aid and whatever else they think they can until you either work or perish.
Where are these jobs coming from anyway? People stopped going to the office and worked from home instead. There was no new job there, it was the same job, different location. What are you suggesting they do? Betterware catalogues? Envelope stuffing? There isn’t a lot of money in work from home opportunities unless more businesses start moving to a working from home model and there were no plans in this statement to encourage businesses to do that. Where is the incentive for businesses to recruit disabled people to work from home? How would they be trained from home if they did? So many questions unanswered.

â–ºABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
