localzuk<p>Changes to PIP will not get people into work. It will do the opposite. The whole point of PIP is to help those who can't do certain tasks be able to do them. If you make it more difficult to do basic day to day tasks, there's a lower likelihood you will be able to work. It's not rocket science.</p><p>Starmer's insistence that there is a "moral case" seems to be a classic case of trying to repeat something to make it true.</p><p><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/UKPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKPolitics</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70wvqgr709o.amp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bbc.com/news/articles/c70wvqgr</span><span class="invisible">709o.amp</span></a></p>
