This so-called Labour government has provoked outrage and disgust by declaring war on sick people, on disabled people, and rightly so.

Yesterday, the working pension secretary Liz Kendall announced £5 billion worth of cuts in support for disabled people on those with serious illnesses and conditions.

In the words of Debbie Abrahams, a Labour MP and Chair of the Commons Work and Pensions Committee,

this is balancing the books on the backs of sick and disabled people.

According to the Resolution Foundation think tank,

between 800,000 and 1.2 million of those people will lose support of between £4,200 and £6,300 a year by the end of the decade.

Those unable to work will have their support cut. That includes those with the most severe disabilities and illnesses you could possibly think of.

Large numbers of disabled and six citizens will no longer receive personal independence payment, a benefit

which goes both to those in and out of work to, as the name suggests, ensure their independence.

That spending goes on, same ability or paying for carers. And the government plans to consult

on taking away the health top-up to universal credit for people aged under the age of

22. That would mean stripping away that support for any young person, whatever their disability

or condition. On ITV's Good Morning Britain, they explained some of the people who are going to be

here. At this moment, you need eight points over all the categories which cover the ability to

eat, bathe and dress. But under the new system, you'd need eight points over all the categories which cover the ability to eat, bathe and dress.

But under the new system, you'd need four points in one category.

That means someone scoring two points for, say, needing supervision to use the toilet,

and then two points for needing help to dress their lower body in a different category,

would now not qualify.

In future, only this system will be used to decide if someone's fit for work,

with separate work capability assessments scrapped.
