Doesn't it say that disability benefits are exempt from the freeze?


It does now. That story is much longer than when I first linked to it and has been substantially rewritten. Always annoys me a bit when news sites do that. It gets to the point where I resolve to take screengrabs, but really, who can be arsed? But hey ho. I'll edit my original post to take it into account. It's important to get the facts straight.

Still, not sure there's much to be celebrating about the speech. After all, it's not like those receiving disability benefit are currently being treated well by the tories. Are we really reduced to "Hang on a second now, the guy is only talking about plunging millions of unemployed people and their children into further poverty; let's give him some credit for sparing the sick and elderly"?

Well, sparing them for a little while at least. It's not like the tories don't have a track-record of imposing welfare cuts in stages.
