    I see the highest court has made an obvious ruling they didnt mention hermaphrodite [ hermaphrodite is an organism that possesses both male and female reproductive organs. ] just basically "penis or vagina" what you are born with!

    A damning verdict on the Government's cuts to disability benefits has been published by more than 100 Labour rebels who are threatening to humiliate Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer by voting down his plans. The numbers are high enough to defeat the Government in a vote on July 1, as Sir Keir faces his biggest rebellion since becoming Prime Minister.

    An amendment signed by 108 Labour MPs states: "The Government's own impact assessment estimates that 250,000 people will be pushed into poverty as a result of these provisions, including 50,000 children." They are furious over proposals announced by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall making it harder to claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which helps disabled people with living costs.

    this is a very delicate subject, with my various hobbies [ so involved with at least 3 different groups of people all numbering over 50 but one that is over 80 people ] there is a small number, I say small as it is in in such a small sample of the general public. [ sample is estimated be of 200 ish] 13 who claim disability / pip [and 3 who are not actually in these the 3 groups making 16 ] 5 of this 16 lead lives almost as actively or moreso than myself and are on benefits,and brag to some extent of not needing to work! 2 are on benefit but actually for medical reasons work limited hours. +1 in same group, does extra work for cash in hand! the other 8 on benefits periodically do try to work, and are always attempting to fit in with one or other of my less than physical hobbies, but also as "supporter of the third".

    this .gov vote I am in support of, but not the entirety of it. MORE EMPHASIS SHOULD BE ON THE the first group of 5 I mention ... stop them in total as all are pretty fit to do some jobs... the 3 are all pretty much in "balance" although a reduction of some of the monies recieved might "help" them to seek to achieve more! THE remainder are to the greater degree more difficult to assess as to their ability to actually work as there is maybe jobs they could do if their minds were set on doing them/ more as at present they dont do nothing except just draw the money [ last 8 difficult to say they should do do nothing or try something !]

    Its come to light that over 1,000 new people every day are applying for PIP (Personal Independence Payment) benefits

    The country needs a radical overhaul of who gets these benefits, as along with the asylum claimants, it's draining the amount of money to spend on other more pressing matters

    People that genuinely need help I have no issue with. Those gaming the weak system for a life on benefits rather than ever having to work for a living are the ones who need to have their payments stopped to get them off their lazy entitled a*ses !

    Well there you go. The trouble is there are millions more people doing exactly the same.
    The incentives to purely live on benefits as opposed to actually working for a living are far too great for some people and we've made it too easy for people to get away with.

    Then there are minority groups where around 85% of the females don't work, and therefore claim housing, child and many other benefits.
