Morning all.

Good morning.



'Ominous' may turn out to be the understatement of the year.

Well we can but hope.

Nothing like targeting the most vulnerable

SOME PEOPLE CANNOT WORK. THEY WILL ONLY SURVIVE BY RECEIVING BENEFITS FROM THE STATE. YOU CANNOT REMOVE EVERYONE FROM BENEFITS.

I would have thought you'd spent enough time around people like Ephemerid to know something like that.

I know very well that SOME people cannot work. How does that alter what I said?

I'm no big fan of Kendall, but she did say reduce the sickness benefits bill - not eliminate it.

Very, very few people spend their entire lives on benefits anyway - save for the small minority who really cannot work.

Her statement there was crowd (or media, if you prefer) pleasing rhetoric and not to be taken too literally.
