    The benefits system in the UK is broken and abused by a large % of people. Generations of families on benefits, never worked a day in their life.

    A lot of problems of the personal independence payment:

    It’s easy to get signed off by a GP due to mental health
    There’s no longer the right support to get people back to work who are genuinely disabled – be it mental or physical

    Labour are right to look at it and they need to try identify:

    ways to fix it
    ways to control spending
    the right support to help people back into work

    However, the fact we still spend billions on housing immigrants in 3 star plus hotels whilst we will probably see genuine benefit claimants with little support having benefits cut and homeless people offered services via charities , is a ****show.

    The government contracts for ‘immigrant’ hotels are abhorrent - inflated costs signed off and not checked/reviewed.

    All government awarded contracts (Legacy and post Labour) need to be reviewed by an independent body for value and, where applicable, roi (for services provided).

    Uncontrolled government spending needs reviewed.

    The Government spent millions on nudge units & other brainwashing tools to convince the entire country that if you leave the house or fail to take dangerous injections then you will literally kill your family .
    Locking everyone in the house & forcing children to go online to continue their education.
    Now they are attacking the victims for suffering the results of their evil bullshit by sanctioning the people that believed it, plus the other physically disabled people.

    Sounds like we need our own DOGE, who do you think will make that one of their election pledges?

    Dicky Tice and Nick Candy are salt of the earth lads, they really care about the working peeps. Leaving the ECHR and cutting government spending will only be for the good of the people, not them. They wouldn't dare make things better for the rich, they only care about people like stopme and the rest on here.

    US-style health insurance as promoted by Fartrage and 'cutting red tape' will definitely help the poorest Brits, no doubts there.

    Just as DOGE has been a roaring success, letting Musk and his incels fire people then desperately try to rehire them has worked out spectacularly. They've saved enough to cover 1.5 Trump golfing weekends.

    UK needs to copy the Nordics or Europe when it comes to healthcare provision . A sensible mix between ‘free’ public healthcare and private.

    It works well in Norway , Finland , Germany , Switzerland etc

    It can’t be DOGE ie a billionaire making decisions but we definitely need an independent body - made up of advisors from various businesses, charities , service providers etc who can evaluate spending , contracts , bid work etc

    If anyone proposes leaving the ECHR, they should be expelled to North Korea.

    The government would run riot on if we, UK, was exempt from ECHR legislation (that we designed and contribute to).

    Unfortunately it's usually used to protect foreighn murderers & rapists from being deported at the expense of the victims that want justice.

    There's an entire industry of lefty human rights lawyers getting rich from the never ending stream of illegal immigrant men pretending to be children & violent rapists that demand the right to a family life in the UK, because back home rapists & murderers are treated badly.

    Most Labour MPs cut their teeth as human rights lawyers

    It’s abused , no doubt . It’s use probably need reviewed as some cases are absurd (ie kid likes chicken nuggets , family hates *****s etc)

    But I’d we remained in it (and have it apply to us) than have our rights removed .
