Where is the petition? There is one very poorly written one with 17 signatures on change.org. please can dpac author one very concise one, get it out for signing, then maybe ask the author of the original one to close theirs?
Points that stand out for me:
This is broad and deep cutting motivated by need to plug fiscal hole cuelly affecting many in genuine need.
Reform could be used to improve support back to work or reducing false claims – If the assessment is so ineffective that significant numbers can simply “chose not to work” then it should be improved by increasing requirements for medical evidence for example rather than blind cuts to all.
No impact assessments or meaningful consultation. Likely significant secondary costs of pushing vulnerable in to poverty: increased prescriptions, hospital admissions, suicides,etc.
Pushing millions into poverty is an anti growth policy. On the contrary, ending unfair tax breaks for the most wealthy by bringing asset derived income in line with NI and income tax rates, capping ISA allowances, or ending lax loopholes, for example, would be a pro growth policy that can help balance books while also reducing inequality and improving opportunity for working people. Rather than those with the broadest shoulders carrying the greatest load they’re dumping it all on the sick and disabled!
