So, now Keir Starmer & Rachel Reeves look to be considering a shift on Personal Independence Payments after taking the temperature of political opinion.
This is such a ridiculous own goal:
First, propose a policy that is so callous & cruel that it was greeted with almost universal condemnation....
Second, double down claiming fiscal responsibility....
Third, when confronted by MP organising resistance, start to look at a 'U turn'.
Idiocy!
