Motability FACTS:
- you ONLY get access to the scheme if you receive the mobility component of PIP.
- claiming the mobility component of PIP is extremely difficult, many people with mobility issues don't get it.
- Motability cars cost a significant portion of claimants PIP Mobility payments.

Rachel Reeves says on Laura Kuenssberg that she's asking working people to pay a little bit more.
This was all under the cover of a made up "black hole" whilst refusing to tax the super rich.
This Labour Government showing again exactly who they are and who they serve.

Here's Reeves telling us how bad child poverty is, that kids go to bed hungry, wake up in cold homes & end up in hospital with respiratory problems, all because of child poverty.
Last year Labour suspended 7 MPs from the PLP for voting to scrap the cap

UK budget freeze on income tax thresholds
Over the next 5 yrs, 780,000 more people, the poorest, will pay income tax for the first time.
Someone earning £50,000 will pay £9,512 in tax, an increase of £1,247 because thresholds are frozen.
Can't grow economy by hitting low/middle income earners.

Disabled people need healthcare, housing, food and social supports.
This should not be controversial.
They shouldn’t have to have “thought ahead” and purchased disability insurance.
They shouldn’t have to beg, grovel and “prove their worth”.
They shouldn’t left to die.

they kept them in poverty for an extra 16 months just to spite the Left, imagine being that fucking evil that you punish vulnerable kids just to get one over people you disagree with, it's psychotic and depraved, but that's Labour under McSweeney for you.
Reeves: "... one of the main reasons children end up in hospital is because they are poor"
So why didn't you scrap the cap 16 months ago? Instead you deliberately chose to keep hundreds of thousands of kids in poverty & you've only scrapped it now because you've been forced to
