People will die!’ Rachel Reeves torn apart in stark warning over benefits cuts: ‘Absolutely disgusting’

The government, led by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall, is reportedly thinking twice about cutting financial support for disabled people.
These payments, known as disability benefits, help many people with their daily living costs. The plan to reduce these benefits was part of a wider effort to encourage more people to find work and boost the economy. However, the idea has faced strong criticism, with warnings that cutting this support could have serious, even deadly, consequences for those who rely on it.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who is in charge of the country’s finances, has been told directly that these cuts could put lives at risk. Critics argue that taking away this vital support from disabled people is unfair and could leave many struggling to afford basic needs like food, heating, or medical care. One vocal critic, Curtis Daly, founder of Turn Left Media, spoke out on GB News, calling the plans “disgusting” and “sickening.
He compared the proposed cuts to the austerity measures introduced by former Chancellor George Osborne, which many believe led to widespread hardship and even deaths.
Daly didn’t hold back in his criticism. He accused the Labour government of targeting the “most vulnerable and poorest in society” instead of tackling bigger issues, like making sure wealthy corporations pay their fair share of taxes. He pointed out that the government seems quick to cut support for people on benefits but slow to address problems like low wages, weak workers’ rights, and the growing gap between the rich and the poor.
Daly argued that cutting disability benefits, such as Personal Independence Payments (PIP), makes no sense, especially since there’s no evidence of fraud in the system. In fact, PIP has been assessed as having a zero percent fraud rate, meaning the vast majority of claims are genuine and necessary.
Instead of cutting benefits, Daly suggested the government should focus on creating better-paying jobs and improving workers’ rights. He explained that many people rely on benefits not because they don’t want to work, but because the jobs available often don’t pay enough to live on or don’t offer stable hours. He also criticized the weakening of unions, which he said has left workers with less power to fight for fair pay and conditions. At the same time, he pointed out that corporations and billionaires are richer than ever, while ordinary people struggle to make ends meet.
Daly called for a “patriotic economy” where everyone, including the wealthy and big businesses, pays their fair share of taxes. This money, he argued, could be used to fund high-quality public services like healthcare, education, and support for those who need it most.
He stressed that the real problem is inequality, with a small group of extremely wealthy people holding onto their money while millions of others struggle. Instead of blaming the poor or cutting their support, Daly urged the government to focus on tackling this inequality and creating a fairer system for everyone.
In summary, the debate over cutting disability benefits has sparked strong emotions and serious concerns. Critics like Curtis Daly believe these cuts would harm the most vulnerable people in society and fail to address the root causes of poverty and inequality.
They argue that the government should focus on creating better jobs, improving workers’ rights, and ensuring that everyone, including the wealthy, contributes their fair share to society. The message is clear: cutting support for those who need it most is not the answer—building a fairer, more equal economy is.
