Reform UK to rob disabled of their disability benefits.

 

Robert Jenrick & Richard Tice - Reform UK

There are around 20,488 people receiving Personal Independence Payments (PIP) in Tameside. Across Greater Manchester, there are roughly 235,000 active PIP claimants. Many of these now stand to lose their PIP if Reform UK form a government at the next general election.

Don't believe Reform UK's bullshit that they are just targeting welfare spending on illegal migrants. This is all a smokescreen. It stands to reason that if Reform UK wants to cut welfare spending by £50bm, then this is going to affect a lot more people than illegal migrants.

In Nigel Farage's constituency of Clacton, 10,440 of his constituents receive PIP. In Robert Jenrick's constituency of Newark, 6,010 of his constituents receive PIP. Research suggests that in Lee Anderson's constituency of Ashfield, 13.3% of the working age population in Ashfield, are receiving PIP payments or LWCRA benefits. In Kirklees, in West Yorkshire, which is led by Reform UK, 32,000 people are receiving PIP. In all these areas many of these people receiving PIP, will have voted for Reform UK, who have just repaid them, by kicking them in the arse.

Many of the people who receive PIP are in work. Almost 40% of people claiming Universal Credit, are also in work or have caring responsibilities. Those in work, claim UC to top up their low pay.

There's something positively disgusting about former Tory multimillionaires and spivs, like Nigel Farage and Richard Tice, wanting to rob the disabled of their disability benefits.
