How that system is sorted out is the issue

Labour have utterly screwed this up but it's laughable to hear tory voters quoting the daily mail about financial hardship when the power of the state was used on striking miners in some of the most vulnerable communities across the UK

Those complaining about the poor pensioners were cheering and clapping the Conservative government in 1984
It's Thatchers fault, Reeves has over taxed businesses that will lead to closures and no growth in the economy, that will lead to unemployment and people thinking, I can't work again I'll try for PIP, yes OK Sludge whatever you say.
