Apparently sickness benefit costs are more devastating for Starmer than those of providing military support to the genocidal Israeli régime or sending 10,000 troops to Ukraine or increasing taxes for his fat cat "donors".

"Starmer will unveil drastic cuts to disability benefits despite opposition from Labour MPs and poverty campaigners, and warnings from economists against making kneejerk savings to hit fiscal targets.
"[Labour] ... will announce a package of changes expected to affect some of the UK’s most severely disabled people [that] could deny benefits for [those] who need some help washing themselves, preparing food or remembering to go to the toilet."
Remember Sarwar promising no Liebour austerity in Scotland?
SARWAR LIED.

I never thought I'd see the day when our government in Scotland would be forced to continue mitigating austerity, inflicted not by the scuzzball Tories but by the "Labour" Party.
“The equivalent to PIP in Scotland is [the] devolved... Adult Disability Payment (ADP). Any freeze in PIP in the rest of the UK will lead to a reduction in block grant for Scotland. [So] if the Scottish Government wishes to continue to provide ADP recipients with inflation proofed income, it will need to find the resources from elsewhere in the Scottish Budget or by raising devolved taxes."

● June 2024:
"Sarwar... promised there would no austerity measures under a Labour government.
“Let me say *unequivocally* there will be *no austerity* under a Labour government.”
● March 2025:
"Sarwar has reportedly backed Starmer's plans to cut billions of pounds from the UK Government’s welfare budget.
"Sarwar told BBC Scotland he believes... the Prime Minister is taking the “right approach”."

"Keir Starmer is Margaret Thatcher 2.0 going after welfare funding."
"Anas Sarwar, who has a disability of his own - he's spineless - has of course said nothing at all about these cuts to disability and sickness benefits. No doubt he will pop up once the dust has settled and will blame the Scottish Government, demanding that it mitigate the cuts."
