Makes me laugh making room on pip for Muslims and immigrants over a million. labour councillors leaving 😂😂 that’s what he wants. Just seen on talk tv 700 islamist in government. This is why labour are doing what they are doing. U.K. had it. No coming back from what islamist government are doing 😡

@craigcutts7085 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

It's what this government are having to do, to recover from 14 years of non investment corruption and lunatics like Johnson & Truss running the country

@Thebear0917 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

I believe they should do community service like letter picking and maintaining parks

@WyzDat March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

How much are they sending to Ukraine???

@3DLL. March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

@SueDiffey March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Tories run the Labour Party now. Get used to it.

@alexbalchin1145 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

I am 100% behind this proposal, it’s about time, this should have been bought forward along time ago. I’m fed up of leeches on society making themselves a nice nest with my tax money. Benefits need to be a lot more strictly monitored and not given out to any benefit ponts claiming they have this and that! I’ve worked with people paralysed from the waist down that work 40 hours I’ve worked with people with depression that work 40 hours a week, the UK is becoming lazy and more whiny by the minute. I hope this proposal goes ahead, it will be exactly what the leeches on society need, get a job people there’s tons of them out there!

TAX THE RICH! NOT THOSE IN NEED OF HELP!

650 mps making 100k each could save 35million a year by cutting there wages in half

@MizMite2002 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

We are proud to be a leading partner in providing vital support to Ukraine. In total, the UK has committed £12.8 billion for Ukraine: £7.8 billion in military support. £5 billion in non-military support.

@JauntyWhale March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Properly regulating benefits to prevent lazy people taking advantage of them is the fix. Cutting benefits from people who need them is not the fix.

@ChristineEccleston March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Yes to give to immigrants and in pocket

@magallamadge1532 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

I can’t believe keir Starmer approves this….. I’m done with Labour….

@magallamadge1532 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

I can’t believe Labour have done this ……. This is just awful…..

@roverlad March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

They should be going after the folk who are working. And with businesses and claiming Pip and universal credits. And saying there not living with there spouse. Mostly Muslims and there relations I know of 5 😡

@johncrowther4328 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

What is it with these clowns and spectacles do they think it makes then more trustworthy and intellectual or something pathetic is Timmy Mallett advising them or something 😆

Welcome to 2025 folks!

@bw9927 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

They are idiots. So many are on benefits who could work.

@mrmeldrew693 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Isn't 5 billion equivalent to a small chunk of what we spend on foreign aid annually?
What do Labour have against the disabled?

@leesullivan1718 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

This is an attack on our most vulnerable people and I hope there’s a protest so big this cruel gov backs off!z

@BrianPhillips-v2c March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Cuts for the poorest people to give tax cuts to the rich.

@Pinkfox56 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

They would save a load of money if they just stopped sending it to other countries and giving it away to illegal immigrants!
Put Great British people first!

@petecoventry6858 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

They just want your tax so they can give it to Abdul from Albania and his mates

@amac1657 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Best thing they’ve done since getting in. Hard working tax payers are tired of paying for people who don’t want to work. People who physically can’t work should be looked after

@kevinrobertfrasier1309 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Its quite easy to save 5 billion. Yes. Stop shipping pallets of tax payers cash to Zalenskii. Zalenskii is the most corrupt proffesional beggar/ leader in eastern europe by far.

@johnkoenig8739 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

I guess all new boat arrivals will need benefits themselves and someone has to pay for it… basically robbing Peter to pay Paul.

@ThomasEvans-yr8hp March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

An extra 5 billion to send to Ukraine🤣🤣

@martinfisher-k6f March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Some more of Brexit benefits.

@liam2184 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Why are we having a benefits overhaul when we need a government overhaul? How many mps and civil servants do we have being paid a hell of a lot more than any benefits programme offers. How many past PMs do we pay £10000 a month to, every month, for the rest of their lives. The top 127 wealthiest people in the UK have more wealth, combined, than Poland. How much money to foreign aid? I agree the benefits system needs a reform, but as usual, what is top of the governments hierarchy of importance does not align with the public,at least in my own opinion.

@almasseven5665 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

When benefit cuts have to balance about Tax payer make cuts as well sir

@peterkabrna March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Saving nothing. Not starting for years. What a waste of time

@christopherplumley6199 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

Just look at all those people sat in that fancy room claiming travel expenses….surely they know how to facetime? Surely that would save alot money year round.

@callumcoates-keddypsychesy5954 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

How much public money do they get to make these decisions?

@callumcoates-keddypsychesy5954 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

We should all vote to cut their pay checks seeing as they haven't done a single positive thing for the people of this country. Unless this is not a democracy?

@stephenjones6500 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

53 months until the last possible date for the next election

STOP BENEFITS LET LAZIES WORK

@Ceretrea March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

My daughter will lose her incapacity benefits because she's 20. We have to support her but our benefits are also potentially cut. So how do we live? I'm bedbound, my husband is post stroke. She's housebound. So how????

@jodiesmith6747 March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

What about all those refugees working in proper jobs and paying taxes? They work in the black market and contribute ZERO to this society.

@GillianLangley March 31, 2025 - 12:54 pm

If we protected our borders, would save billions on illegal migration, picking on the disabled is an easy target for the government.
