Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈Why are "1000 new people every day claiming Disability?" Is it because we are all 'lazy' as our Government thinks, or a Pandemic has been allowed to run through us many times, degrading our bodies with each hit?

Rage Rumbles 🏴‍☠️🫂🔞I lay in bed last night and suddenly this thought popped into my head:Imagine being a politician who goes after THE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY DISABLED'S money before it goes after the money of BILLIONAIRES.Take a billion from a multi-billionaire and they have effectively lost nothing. They won't notice it. But take £10 from a disabled person and they certainly will miss it.The physically and mentally disabled have it hard enough as it is.

Also, the year after, the British people said we wanted a Blue Tory government so you should resign, Keir. What's that? Changing views?
