Geri ❤️<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labour</a> campaigned on a vision of welfare reform that emphasized dignity, opportunity, and fixing a "broken system" - language that signalled improvement.But months after their landslide victory, <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#austerity</a> has emerged again. The reformed <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PIP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PIP</a> criteria excludes hundreds of thousands of disabled people. The Work Capability Assessment is to be abolished. Ppl under 22 with health conditions would be denied additional support & Winter Fuel Payments have been stripped from millions of pensioners

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayThis morning there are lots of responses to Labour's proposed cuts to disability benefits, here are just two:1. As Anna Landre argues, what the Govt. actually needs to do is: 'ask disabled people who want to work what keeps them from doing so & construct targeted policies to address those barriers'...rather than just assume they know the answers & can make disabled people's decisions about support for them.<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/benefits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#benefits</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#austerity</a> <a href="https://www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/labour-welfare-force-disabled-out-of-work-pip-starmer-benefits/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/labour-welfare-force-disabled-out-of-work-pip-starmer-benefits/</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayGuilherme Klein Martins (to few people's surprise, surely) argues that austerity has a longer shadow than economists predicted:Austerity is not a precursor to long-term prosperity - its costs outweigh any proposed benefits;Its shock/sudden fiscal adjustments are damaging in themselves;Long-term growth is a lot more important than short-term deficit reduction for future prosperity.None of this is necessarily news, but its worth reiterating!<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#austerity</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://theconversation.com/in-the-struggle-to-get-britain-working-the-long-shadow-of-austerity-could-be-part-of-the-problem-249888" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/in-the-struggle-to-get-britain-working-the-long-shadow-of-austerity-could-be-part-of-the-problem-249888</a>
