Increasing Operational Demands

We all wondered how long it would take John Healey to work out that he could make far more on OnlyFans. Pat McFadden will be next. Seriously, though, each of them fancies himself as a potential "common sense compromise" candidate for Leader, and Healey has moved first.

If the benefit cuts were for defence, then why has the Defence Secretary resigned? If they were to push people into work, then they would be aimed at the well and able-bodied. But instead, the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity component of Universal Credit has been halved, and then frozen until 2030. "Frozen" will be the word.

Yet benefit cuts do not magic up jobs, and those to the sick and disabled do not cure anyone. More of this is coming, ostensibly for defence. Well, defence has not seen a penny of the cuts that there have already been. Ask Healey. And where has that money gone?
