Maybe tax the super-rich who shamelessly fleece the UK for all it´s worth if you are so concerned about public finances.

@@riccardovitale6387 Make it so anyone illegal gets no benefits

Ah, great, so I’m going to take the thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of pounds of investment and tax revenue I provide to an economy that doesn’t try to punish me for investing. Try again.

[@Musicch-gi8ej]

I feel like the entire world is against me and I am being victimised because I have an illness. I don’t know where I stand, I am very afraid and just wish I could take me like to be at peace. The illness stresses me out and I was focusing on trying to manage my daily life. Now I have total dispair.

Provide a good chance of Social Housing for Disabled

[@Themistocles30]

narcissist women. Seems like another Cruella Braverman.

[@gorgeousgeorge3947]

The same person who wrote Kendall's speech probably also wrote Mel Strides.

[@markbrad123]

Free travel passes from employers please. If you are sleeping in a door way you can always get to work. Too many managers with 3 jobs at once.

[@sluglife9785]

Sounds like progress to me. Cheers.

[@deanwhittle1992]

[@paganartisan]

Get rubbish University Degrees and stop paying Scotland Students that can go to Uni and never have to pay a penny back. Get rid of payed parking for Nurses where as Wales doesnt have that problem.

[@paganartisan]

Hey they could all become MPs 😂

[@paganartisan]

Have to educate Parents first

[@paganartisan]

Plenty of childcare costs if you scrap the two child limit. You have loads of Men coming here.

[@johnpatrickoldfield534]

It's so expensive to get people into work. so expensive. There's a hiring and cost-effectiveness ratio as well as a convenience sentiment and the doing people unsolicited favors sentiment. For me to employ 1 person comfortably I need like a dedicated 50 k zar per month just for them and like 7 mzar for offices otherwise allowance for rental offices which are nice. just for one employee including myself.

[@wesleymorley]

please change the 2012 welfare act.

[@ThomasBoyd-x3x]

She Jewish Liz Kendall yes Thomas. Noer Minghiner Italian conservative he Jewish he gay homosexual yes Thomas. Fed up with Israel, could write book about 2.5 million disabled people on welfare state benefits in United' Kingdom. Sorry state of affairs Thomas. Nothing politically wrong she said it, but, truthfully about it situation in United Kingdom in 2024.

FREE Palestinians

[@paulchurchill5045]

Yes free them from Hamas & the cult of Islam! 🤔

[@eightyfive6660]

Abolish pip and bring DLA back and you will save billions immediately. Look at the figures before pip and after 🤔

[@poolelasssb]

That will not help disabled people like myself that can't physically work and relying on that money to survive

[@paganartisan]

@eightyfive6660 Oh yes the good old days where the forms were so complex they would take a genius to game. The one thing that was good is that you got it for life. It was hard to get a reasonable rate. Some I knew were just laughing at the system. Also it was physical, so your mental disability had to effect you physically to qualify.
