This Government grows ever more hateful and disconnected with the electorate.

This is a Green Paper. That means it is a discussion document, with tentative proposals to be debated both inside and outside Parliament and with interested groups. With a view to ascertaining whether or not, further down the line, to introduce some form of legislation.

Chances of this happening during this Parliament? 0.

This is just pandering to the Right, while electioneering. Not actually going to do any of this-simply because there is nowhere near enough time in the life of this Parliament, which has (at most) 8 months left.

So. Electioneering. While instilling fear in the Disabled. The Anxious. In short, the very people least equipped to deal with this, and the likeliest to be set back in any recovery.

Just shameful.

Why "terrifying"?

1 of Labour or the Conservatives have governed every year. Since 1915.

109 years. Where the world hasn't ended. Who exactly do you think could do a better job?
