Re: The Tories

Just a peek at what this government have proposed..

Peers voted by 260 to 216 to protect up to 15,000 young disabled people from cuts to employment support allowance.

They voted 234 to 186 for a two-year limit on claims, rather than the proposed one year, and by 222 to 166 to exempt cancer sufferers from a limit.

The plan had meant disabled children who could never work would never be entitled to the benefit.

Oh dear. a "lazy" post.. I'll say enough said..but of course the usual "neutral" defenders of this government are invited to comment.
