, that promise could now be scrapped.
Ministers were told yesterday they will need to find ‘efficiency savings’ in departmental budgets and beleaguered chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng made it clear benefits could be hit. Chris Philp, the chancellor’s deputy in the Treasury, also refused to commit to the government’s previous pledge during an appearance on ITV.
An announcement on changes is usually made in November, coming into effect the following April, and it impacts Personal Independence Payment, Attendance Allowance, Disability Living Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, Incapacity Benefit and others.
My goodness. I guess Jesus was right. He said we would always have the poor. Perhaps these Christian want to make sure the prediction is true
In other news, anarchists remind the rest of you that you can just start protesting whenever
Same old Tories. Say ' Mold Tories '
WestminsterTheEnemy. IF YOU THINK ITS GOVERNANCE you have not been paying attention.
Without poor people there would be rich people! It's a disgrace to turn your back on those that need it in society. I hope they get banned from every restaurant, coffee shop and eatery! 🤬
No its to get the 5 million economically inactive labour voters off their arses.
Don’t think Truss has an original idea in her head however Kwarteng has had this planned for years see the book “brittania unchained” which he co-authored to see why.
Who has said “we’re thinking of cutting benefits” ? Nobody, so stop baseless shit stirring
Translation : 'we know we aren't going to win the next election so we need to spend the next 2 years lining the pockets of our benefactors as much as we bloody can.'
.. and the common people whom keep this country running have the power in their hungry bellies to grind this country to a catastrophic Halt And take their money and control Back.. Remember That!! 😡😡😡🤮
Disgusting
God it’s Turning into “let them eat cake “
This is a long time coming. There shouldnt be benifits for able people who can work. You should get benifts for tour first child but any more you pay for them yourself. Unless your disabled get off your ass and get a job
We need a modern day Robin Hood... the government are hell bent on doing the opposite 🙄
It isn't welfare cuts but making sure only the right people receive the benefits, the one's who need it, not the people who have moved to the UK and haven't paid a penny in tax ever, lifetime dossers with 'bad backs' and others who work the system. but not the ones really in need
In what Mad Hatter Dummies Guide to Economic does it say 'Money sitting in a Bank Account' oils the engine of UK better than Money being spent in local shops on Necessities. Hungry/Homeless/Cold people end up in EXPENSIVE HOSPITAL BEDS.
oh no you've lost your left foot. thats okay though I can cut you right foot off to replace it
This 'government' are not even trying to be subtle any more. Repeatedly going for the poorest and most vulnerable in society. They make me bilious with disgust.
What a solution that would be. You’re joking right? People relying on benefits at the moment, don’t have enough £ to cover their bills. liveintherealworld
Just when you couldn,t believe theyd scrape the barrel they will
By 'considering' you mean that they 'will'.
Totally and utterly disgusted with the Tories. They couldn't give a shit about the people they are making homeless, those having to decide whether to feed their children or keep them warm, so much poverty in this country and we're not a developing country.
Lizmerelda and Kwasi-duhdu need to do one, straight out the back door and keep walking, they are an out and out disgrace with their 'money for the rich, sod the poor' policies, I am starting to feel ashamed that I voted Conservative for so many years.
Already she is basically on borrowed time - Conservatives have themselves to blame for such a flawed leadership contest truss TrussMustGo
So pleased I have left the UK. It's being turned into an absolute shit show by the people that should be helping it grow
And by `benefits` they mean pensions, because all those old folk are not working and making more profit for the rich
OFC they are. ToryNastyParty TaxThePoorRewardTheRich One rule for us plebs, another for them and their rich mates etc etc.
And.that.Liz. is a disgrace 😏
Poisonous c*nts trussliz KwasiKwarteng
The Tories, putting the N in 'CUTS'
Sounds fair
that will be 95% of the UK population
Could they dig the hole any deeper... Are they deliberately self sabotaging the next election?
Just cut benefits for all the illegals. That will save around £1 billion a year, be morally justifiable and popular. Job done.
If they do that, they'll be hanging from lampposts in weeks
These fcks need to be burnt at the stake🔥🔥🔥
Stealing from the poor and giving to the rich. We cannot sustain this idiocy in this country anymore, we've run out of assets. We need them gone and the Tory party needs to retire to the history books.
Why don’t they cut their own salaries first …. Yes I know dum comment
How about bankers bonuses!! Cut government wages. No, but they’re happy to slap the poorest in the uk once again!!! More family’s will be in poverty these coming months!!!!
Work out there if you want it.Some don’t stop their benefits
Whoever doubted it's the nasty party has no doubt got the picture now.
If true this is an obscenity
General Election NOW!
Tories are finished
Every single Chancellor should have to live on basic benefits for 3 months. Every single MP should spend 3 months of the year on the Living wage. Their detachement from reality is a problem, gaining insight into the life an ordinary british person must live every day is required.
bunch of tarts - my cat could be a better PM
We need to burn this despicable party to the ground
Ffs.
Would rather go for chills and drills at Jeff Dahmers then accociate witha conservative supporter.

LunaSpencer16 Welcome to the Republican Party in America’s way of doing business. Good luck, UK.
Obsorne already gutted most public services, there's little left to cut when it's already hollowed out. More cuts & effing over the poor & working class to benefit the rich is a recipe for mass unrest & riots in such a climate.
What's this 'giveaway' of which you speak? Deciding to take less of my money from me by force is NOT a 'giveaway'.
Genocide. Absolutely disgusting
'the market over-reacted' RevolutionNow
Track and trace ,wasted ppe,fiddled contracts, and that's just a few examples how those billions of wasted cash would come in handy now
How can they do this when Tories were voted in on another manifesto? No one has voted for this.
If those cuts are for the fit for work but won’t work then CUT away!
The Tories really are pushing this country into the upper class and those living in poverty. Someone needs to remind them of Antoinette’s fate. Also the working classes have more votes then the rich bankers.
Gluttony and greed comes to mind certainly no virtues
As the client newspaper 'The Sun' says, 'The government is on your side....so long as you're not poor in which case go away and die.'
Good! Anyone doing fuck all when there’s full employment should get ZILCH!!
Torys are scum
Good, the benefit system is fucked and 99% can work in some form or another.
supertanskiii if making millions for there mates weren't enough and not doing anything against energy companies now they wanna really kill off the poorest. Ffs ToryCostOfGreedCrisis
We should not be surprised, this is what Tories do. Ultimately Tory policies have always been about keeping poorer people poor and further enriching the wealthy. They pretend class war is over but in reality they continue to wage class war with all the means at their disposal
Good, millions of twisted hateful lefties on the benefits need to fill the vacancies in farming, hospitality and caring jobs especially the London scroungers. Too much time on their hands👍 the remoaners are the worst, they wanted EU mass migration to keep them on benefits 🤣
How I adored your balanced reporting until you lurched into fascism through the racial persecution of Meghan and Harry on the orders of the fascist Daily Mail, your commander-in- Chief. How I despise what you have become...Nothing but a hatred rag....
What a shower these conservatives are - political zealots and/or self-serving sleaze magnets. They're toxic for the country.
Tories gonna Tory. This should surprise no one.
What a joke.
Keep on giving to the rich and who gives a damn about the poorest in the country, great government this is under Truss, she and her party have no clue on real life, Sunak at least had a clue, next general election you will be gone!
😡😡😡😡
Let's think on this one,, mmmm stop all benefits for all them that comes over the dinkys
I remember Boris had a shady deal were he offered Dyson obscene tax cuts on a deal that was not tendered, nothing new for the Tories they will take care of their own despite who sits in no10 and 11 downing st...
Taxes are too high, it is the only way to balance the books. Something for nothing is wrong! Cut benefits now! Let people keep their own money

When you think she can't getany worse🤦♀️
They take 55p out of every £ earned from universal credit claimants. They deduct carers allowance , that didn’t happen with tax credits. This govt is deluded and must go.
Under this government, poor should be poorer and rich should be richer.
Absolute disgraceful this Government, shameful, may peoples deaths be on your heads
Nothing would surprise me with this heartless government
Given the wealth gap and the extreme levels of vile abuse these 'people' bestow on the majority of others with high regularity.. Their ability to hold 'power' seems to hinge on vote rigging or the masses being illiterate, distracted or just wanting rid of government entirely.
Naturally, Rob from the poor and give even more to the rich.
Can't we at least get children working in the pits again? I mean, what do they do for society anyway the little spongers! And what ever happened to workhouses? Oh. Wait. This isn't the Victorian era...
It's no suprise and a disappointment further depravity higher crime rate why can't they leave it at the tax cuts and see their's no patience with this party
ToriesOut86
Please remind me, please tell me more, how the Cons are just “better for the economy”
Do this and the next election will be a landslide.. For Labour
So many tweets to say 'Tories want to kill the poor'.
Now there're just taking the piss
trussliz absolutely disgusting. People on benefits have so very little as it is. It's OK to be honest & just say you hate poor people😂 just admit it! 🤷🏻♀️ truly vile & despicable, no wonder the public want an emergency election! 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Missing Sunak everyone!
I like a story line from Dickens good job it's not true even us Brits might start protesting against this Shit
Anyone north of Birmingham who votes Tory should be bull whipped! The tories really are evil scumbags
So the conservative government are going to make the poor pay for the tax cuts they gave to the rich, how unsurprising, now tell us something we don't know.
Tory party conference tomorrow in Birmingham are there eggs on sale anywhere
DEJA VU LET THEM EAT CAKE & then what happens OH yeah.. ..they get the CHOP!
Course they are the absolute cretins
They give rich tax cut get unemployed to pay for it there be riots like this country has never seen last time was bad enough but they Rob the poor to pay for the rich the poor have nothing to lose it be worst than second world war the damage the unemployed cause millionaires hide
You couldn't even make this up at this point 😂. If you don't laugh! You'll cry.
GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE CUTTING U C BENEFITS. THEY SHOULD BE PAYING MORE NOT LESS THEY REALLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT UK BRITS AND OTHERS CITIZENS WHO LIVE AND WORK IN UK
What do you expect that's what these people always do, take from the poor and give to the rich, remember people voted them in, I sure as hell didn't.
We need to cut benefits, there is no way that people will work if they can live it up on the hog at taxpayers expense
Absolutely disgusting tactics but no surprise from the despicable Tory party
Nothing more you need to know about this Conservatives government. Utter lack of empathy and upper class contempt for the working people who have kept the country going. 10DowningStreet
Evil corrupt fanatics and bastards
How low can you get Tories LizTruss KwasiKwarteng
Sounds legit to me, penalise the poor to help subsidise the rich. Nothing morally or ethically wrong with that….
And what do the rich do with all this money? Squirrel it away offshore.
Come to Newcastle and you get milkshake
'Impossible Trinity', stupid 😎
Great to see. Fed up of the lazy, benefit scroungers constantly wanting more and more handouts. They keep popping out kids for benefits, won't ever lift a finger and do a days work. Punish them all.
Kamikwasi economics ….
THATS THE CONSERVATIVE ANSWER TO ALL THIER EVILS ! BACK TO DICKENSION VALUES.WHAT NEXT BRINGING BACK WORKHOUSES, AND GRUEL.
Liz Truss is basically Anti-Robin Hood. Steal from the poor to give to the rich. This is a government that wasn’t voted in and has basically wrecked the economy instead of fixing it. Welcome back to the Maggie Thatcher era… BUT WORSE!
This will literally kill people single persons UC is around £350 a month and worth less and less every year
Maybe we should make our children work or sell the to the rich. That was the money can trickle down.
. Conservatives trussliz KwasiKwarteng How about cutting your own benefits instead!? None of you are struggling, nor would you be even with a cut. Stop forcing the rest of us, who're ALREADY struggling, deeper into the hole YOU dug.
Quite right, the idle and lazy are costing this country billions, it's become a career choice, sitting on your arse and getting paid for it. Time for change
Is this some form of genocide? Kill off those who are paying their wages for not having enough money to carry on paying their wages?
At least robin hood wore a mask
Instead of going after the poorest and most vulnerable in society which seems to be their next move, why dont they save money by scrapping MP Expenses to pay for the cost of the Gov package of energy help given to us peasants!!
There's going to be riots, and probably on a scale never seen before.
UK Citizens are now considering not voting Tories in the next election
‘Let’s make poor people pay for our tax cuts which only help the rich anyway’
This is what starts revolutions. You are only there in government as long as we tolerate it.
The bastards
Media resorted to just lying now. Lowering taxes for everyone who is working and cutting benefits for refusing to work, is not the same as cutting benefits to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Tax rates are at a 70 year high and the burden is all on those above the average £28k.
They are truly evil
We should stop their buisness and tax them more so they can feel what real people are going through
birdman2 Absolute scum.
The Government isn't working for the people in any way.
so only a real terms cut like weve all had then?
Have the tories given up on the next general election or something?
How about the nation stops working. Everyone of us in employment, STOPS. Every single one stands together for those with less than each of us. Until eventually, collectively, this mess, this evil, is finally dealt with.
If the public sector has to have cuts then let’s first do this: freeze or reduce MP pay, cap expenses at £30000, cut the HoL ‘turn up’ fee to £10 & get rid of all their food & drink subsidies. Also stop giving airtime to lobby groups
Why would anyone vote for these villians?
This is nuts,it's like they no longer want to be in power anymore
And people think that Italy is getting an ultra right wing government!
They need to leave. and it's not even that all Tories are awful. I hated Johnson sure. I hated May but I quite liked Cameron and as for the options here, Sunak and Mordaunt were way better than Truss and it was extremely visible... Yet we get the worst option of course...

There is no easy solution to high inflation. Government spending needs to be cut
What of those of on benefits who have children in primary/secondary school? How bad will it affect them? How many more will end up in poverty or worse? Typical Tories, looking out for the rich
The Tory party are digging themselved s hole. Its not going to be long before they fall in. I firmly believe that staunch Tory voters are wondering what sublime ideas they will come up with next. Labour will win next election by a country mile.
They should cut the wages of the mps. Instead of claiming for burger Kings and stupid paintings that look like papa smurfs wank rag. The Troy's are scum of the UK
Liz Truss has 'admitted' 'disruption in the economy' after last week's mini- budget shambles but said she will keep an 'iron grip' on the nation's finances!! After the great tax giveaway!! 🤔
AlecShelbrooke good idea?
do they know they're mortal
I haven't got the adjectives to describe this PM and her cabinet, nor do I have the adverbs to describe what I'd like to see happen to them.
Benefits should be a safety net for the most in need. We need to stop handouts to economic migrants arriving on boats, stop paying for them to use hotels and put that money towards our own citizens. People need to see value in working and not shirking to budget for luxuries
should have been announced same time as the budget
42%of uk disabled people and their familial carers are already trapped in poverty We cannot take anymore cuts! The rising cost of living is a crisis in itself for people on fixed income, add yrs of austerity, chronic underfunding of public services there's nothing left to cut!
Stop telling porkies. Encouraging people to work and get off benefits is good for everybody. I agree socialists would prefer handouts but apart from them job's a good un.
So its f**k the poorest in society again then.

That's fake news!
I agree leveling up required, only the public need to level up the country by removing all these characters from power and now.
WFF?
I'm so shocked that they would indicate any such policy 🤦🏻♂️😂
Who else but the poor is gonna pay for there second mortgage, kids private education, heat there swimingpools and jet set life style. I mean the rich ain't rich because they can always be more rich, why shouldn't they have it all! The Poor will just have to pay with there lives.
They have no SHAME!

Absolute joke 🤬 line the pockets of the rich at the expense of people like me who require benefits to survive on a daily basis!
Nowhere in the article is any mention of benefit cuts,clickbait
Bestie Robin Hood is supposed to be the hero not the villain
Absolute disgrace!
Shocking
These idiots should be in jail for ruining this country.
Wow
They are not serious right now
Majority voted them in, they deserve this...
It hasn't indicated any thing of the sort, the MPs asked refused to answer, probably because nothing has been decided yet. So why don't you write your article after the fact, instead of presuming the facts before they've been decided.
Patrici89225734 'The poor deserve to die; the rich deserve unmediated power'
What the bleeping hell? What they call 'benefits' aren't even enough to keep people alive! Are they planning to kill a bunch of people by starvation and freezing?
Pure evil.

Lol why stop there why not cut off all benefits full stop ? ThickLizzy 🤔
The Conservatives really want mass rioting don't they? NeverTrustATory ToryCorruption NastiParty
Rob the poor, disabled, elderly & low income households to solely pay for the tax cuts to benefit the 'hard up' uber-wealthy feathering up further their wealth! luhc Secretary SimonClarkeMP has said further public spending cuts must be made to fund £45Bn tax cuts for the rich!
This is great news. As a traditional Christian Conservative MP, I’m proposing that we use these benefit cuts to cement traditional values. If we withdraw benefits from those against God’s law, such as single mothers, same sex parent families and other deviants, society benefits.
What pisses me off about you people is this pension/mortgage interest bulging dam was clearly at risk from all Truss's 'What I'm about is' crass economics during the leadership & YOU DIDN'T SAY A DICKY BIRD so the one guy who did explain it all, RishiSunak was hung out to dry.
Ah yes, the classic tories want to commit genocide effectively. I'd ask if they had even a shred of morale fibre but we all know they are corrupt and muderous.
No way, man, this doesn’t sound like the tories?

Just make strugglers struggle even more you pathetic bunch of miserable rich greedy pigs.
The Tories are going to make the poor even more poorer
Smiling through at us as we suffer and the Conservative Party aren't good enough for the electorate by backing these clowns.
So over £150,000 you get 5% more money. Not even on minimum wage because you're on benefits and you get your money cut. This is fucked up trussliz KwasiKwarteng is your plan to kill off poor people over the winter to save money.
Great, shit on the poorest till they have nothing. Watch them rise up and take everything. Remember the French Revolution? The ones at the top lost their heads. There aren't enough police to stop that from happening in the UK.
The Liz/Kwasi plan was to reinflate the economy by borrowing money and passing it to taxpayers to strengthen consumer spending. Now they are planning to pay for this by cutting expenditure. That really makes it a pointless exercise that won't strengthen the economy.
Anyone actually surprised?
The beginning of the end
So there we have it. Top earners gain £200month, the rest of us get £14month and the poor suffer to pay for it. A true Tory government just doesn't care about the majority of the country. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
No, no, no! This is madness. Do these people ever walk the streets of the towns and cities and see the closed shops, homeless in shop doorways, people begging for help. This country is a shabby 3rd world mess.
Oh my God,this is not good at all .thought goal should be to alleviate poverty for the poor not making there unbearable situation much more unbearable.
Why doesn't trussliz and KwasiKwarteng just cancel all payments to anyone who isn't rich. They get richer and then the rest can fend for themselves. Just remember this on next election day what they are prepared to do. People can die so the rich stay rich
Disgusting.
That's what they wanted all along especially the blue rinse brigade in the Shires.
And people call Britain a democracy 🤣

Cutting all benefits for illegal immgrants would be popular
With more people being driven into poverty by Tory policies, come next general enteral election they may even struggle to get more than a few dozen MPs.
Well she has stated she will look after the rich 1st!
Why aren't you outraged by that!
This labour is ridiculous' & should be stopped at all cost' because people are struggling as it is' if this is referring to people on disability benefits they will cause more suicide problems & Mayhem' people are struggling & it's the conservatives who caused this mess
Loopy Liz and Krazy Kwasi may be joining the unemployed sooner than they think.
Then its time to take to the streets and demonstrate that this just will not be accepted.

Unbelievable. Liz Truss is the incarnation of Ebenezer Scrooge. First the wealthy get MORE money, then she may actively take money AWAY from the most vulnerable in society to pay for it! 'Are there no workhouses, are there no Prisons'? (Scrooge, A Christmas Carol)
Only reinforcing my idea that they're just salvaging whatever money they can for themselves while the economy collapses. Great stuff...
Why?
So truss is really sheriff of Nottingham. I give her till Christmas then they will dump her or people over throw them
You people are sick cutting the benefits of poor people as to benefit the rich people. Cut your wages, take away all your benefits BMW’s free flights free transport. Free living cost and what ever is hand to you on a silver plater morons should be a shame of yourself
We need these fuckers out asap
Strange how MP pay, benefits (= expenses), don't get the same thumbscrew..
Typical - pay the rich a fortune in tax cuts, increase bankers bonuses! CUT WELFARE! TORY SCUM, show true colours AGAIN! COME back Boris!! WE DISABLED are pig sick of being Scape goats! If a countries recognised by the way it treats it's sick, BRITAIN is FUCKED!
They are going to kill people
Not just benefit cuts. To fiscally justify £169bn of tax cuts over four years, borrowing £150bn they will have to completely decimate Public Services. Either the Tory Party has completely lost it's collective minds or its an ideologically driven plan to destroy Public Services.

So basically you're telling me they're taking money that would be spent in our economy and giving it to people who'll stash it in off shore banks? That doesn't sound like a good economic growth plan to me.
Truss A** needs to be tossed out. Lets take from the poor and give to the rich. Has she heard of the tale 'Robin Hood'...Isn't she aware this is based out of England.
Eagerly anticipating an election humiliation for the Tories in 2 years time, like never seen before. Whatever your political allegiance, this government are incompetent, untrustworthy and perhaps the worst of all, morally bankrupt. Do not forget, hit them HARD and make them pay.
I don't understand how this country hasn't started a riot against the tories yet
Benefit recipients are considering riots and mass looting of wealthy people's homes to pay for the benefits cuts.
Morally indefensible if true!
If they want to push people too far, they can't complain when people react in angry, desperate and possibly dangerous ways.
the tories are DONE
Utterly abhorrent
MarcDavenant Trickle up
poletax all over again, the Tories are tired of ruling,they can’t be serious. They have bled the poor dry for 12 years, baled out the bankers, have austerity, supported the brexit lies, given the red wall to traitor’s Tories, Tory power is to look after themselves only

Nah bro 💀
It's like every time to fuckup, they one up themselves.
When you think it cannot get worse it does
Tolerating the psychotic excesses of the Conservatives Party becomes more an act of self harm every day. They will not stop abusing the country, the electorate, the environment or our sensibilities until they're stopped
I think the Tories are going to learn the phrase 'fuck around and find out' if they carry on down this path.
Tories doing tory.
They're cutting benefits AND increasing public borrowing to cover these tax cuts. So we don't even get a balanced budget out of it. The worst of all worlds.
A Working class Tory is something to be🤪
CarrieCarrie01 You mean all those benefits to help pay fuel bills are not going to the poor?
What is wrong with them? (RQ)
Time to bring back the Yard arm and rope for these traitorous vermin...
Standard tory plan. Help the rich and tax the poor.
I really want to find it unbelievable 💥💥💥 but of course I don’t
They have already made this happen I’m disabled can’t work and they have taken £70 a month of me 😐😑😐
Peasants Revolt; American Revolution; French Revolution; Russian Revolution... They all ended well for the governments of the day right? 🤔
mentaly ill and or physicaly not able to work rely on allready low benefits. they want to take from the most needy disabled people who cannot work at all. To give to the rich £150k wage a year. people dont care for disabled people do they if you vote for con your a kunt .
Or maybe they could use their common sense and tax the rich, giving a respite to the poor
Revolution. NOW!

They can go directly to hell, they really can.

why does this not surprise me, the nastyparty is alive and kicking, literally Kicking the poor vulnerable and working class in the nuts time and again, and we sit here like dummies allowing them to do it....
They literally have no idea how 'normal' people live.
Genuinely astonished at reading this. Cut the benefits of the poor to pay for the top earners getting a tax cut. Whether this leads to increased innovation and job creation is, frankly, irrelevant. It’s just such bad politics.
Filling their pockets before they go.
When are the masses going to wake the fuck up to this shitehousary man.
Really! There’s a surprise-As it is I’m living on pittance-this has been the only time in my life -I’ve claimed benefit-Slogged my guts out during my 20’s,30’s and 40’s- I could go on and on.Miss Truss should try living on £76 per week.This sounds like I’m ungrateful-i’m not)
Hope so the Benefit system was devised to help the poorest of our society not to allow wastrels never too work or immigrants that have never paid a penny in tax the welfare system needs a total overhaul.

Oh well looks like labour wins the next election 🗳 if we still have country 🇬🇧 left after the tories
Perverts.
I'll just fkn shoplift
OK fair play, this is terrifying. As is intended...
How much lower can they sink?!
These f£%&ing people!!
They haven't a clue what they're doing which is exactly what the markets are telling them.
Tories only have one idea really. And it's shit.
Let the bodies pile high, eh! ToryBritain YouAllVotedForIt
Sounds good to me. A good review of the system would be better to flush out the fakers on the system
Are you secretly still working for another party trussliz
No words
Oh my fkn god, they just keep coming 🙈
Have they tried just killing all the poor yet?
Beginning to think these ‘people’ aren’t just going to go to Hell; they came from Hell in the first place. PureEvil
UCKTHETORIES
The UK cannot possibly get into more of a mess. Truss and Kwarteng 'Hold my pint...'
Are they looking at protests in other parts of the world and wanting in on the action. MASS CIVIL ACTION will be the outcome of this government's policy. muse WillOfThePeople will be the sound track.
Tories are scum
The Government has done no such thing. The Daily Telegraph speculated that benefits might increase in line with wage growth, rather than inflation.
They are truly vile.
This should not be allowed. Someone or ones need to step in!
Flabbergasted and outraged
Really, is that what they said? I don’t think it was.
Liz Truss needs to go!!! Evil and corrupt to the core trying to wipe out poor people and make the rich richer!!!
Cutting welfare is what Yanis feared as the route that would make the 'rookie error' even worse. In video below from a day or two ago, Yanis talks about the feared action the chancellor is now proposing
PM
Not could they 100% will they are the lowest of the low and only happy when they see their bigwig fat cat friends getting richer
The governing bodies keep screwing the poor however people are still shocked every time they do something . Stop getting surprised and start taking action .
What the fuck….
daisyelfling Some things never go out of style.
Another deluded headline. Shame on you

Shouldn’t we be heading to Birmingham to show this shower how we feel ? ToryCorruption torychaos words are pointless without action EnoughlsEnough if anyone has plans let me know I’ll take the day off. tory scum
Training and better law enforcement is the need of the hour for people claiming benefits fraudulently. Rather than reducing benefits identify people who defraud the system and penalise them. Meanwhile also increase benefits for those who truly deserve support.
That’s when you’ll see real riots Make Toxteth a& Brixton /St Pauls look like an night out in Walt Disney World !!! Full blown robberies !! We are not even leaving now on Benefit’s capped find £150 extra to pay rent don’t cover fu ll amount food banks ! Full War on Vlassez
Stop benefits to these lazy asses that choose to live only on benefits, and don't want to work. Plus, you'll have less people wanting to come to the UK illegally and take advantage of the system.

How does that make sense
some get as little as £10 a day!
You couldn’t make it up. She might just oust Johnson from his position of being the worst PM we ever had. Will we manage to reach a General election without severe public unrest, I wonder.
It’s not a benefits cut. They just wouldn’t be increasing benefits as much. Typical modern journalism. Why report the truth when lying gets more interaction.
The Tories have nothing, but contempt for the poorest in society. Of course they’re making those with the least pay. Last time they cut benefits 150,000 plus disabled ppl died prematurely.. Here we go again.
Can we have a revolution now please?
At what point does manslaughter and death by mismanagement become murder? Or doesn't it; If it's only the poorest... (or the elderly - in the case of COVID)
trussliz KwasiKwarteng This better not be true! If it is then you two are the some of the most despicable humans on earth right now. GeneralElectionNow ToryCorruption ToryIncompetence ThickLizzie KamiKwasi
so when do we get the guillotine out?
It says they have declined to rule out not increasing the benefits in line with inflation. But you go with your loaded headline and watch the public lap it up.
What an absolute load of shit yet again!!! The mini budget has benefited the rich now take from the poor again to cover up the extra money you have given to the rich 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ am I missing something or what?
No wonder Liz Truss chose Therese Coffey for deputy. This is so scary and so wrong.
TheCentreLefty
Standard Tory Policy
Needed, too many people living off benefits when they can work. This doesn’t include disabled people who can’t work of course
It is the 'Christian Tory way'.?
That will be the end of them
The best benefit cut would be scrapping the monarchy.
Could. Could. This was always the plan. They are forging ahead with the true brexit plan. Annihilation of the state. Truss and Kwarteng were not picked by accident.
This atheist hopes it turns out there actually is a hell cause Tories gotta go somewhere when they die. 🔥🔥🔥
Tories been getting ideas from Mitchell and Webb again.
Are they trying to encourage riots because that’s what it’s looking like right now.
Evil bastards.
Michelle_WBT Shocking. Torychaos
They are Conservatives. It doesn't surprise me. That's why they would never have a vote from me.
GREED IS GOD ,paragraph 3b the CONSERVATIVE PARTY'S BIBLE.
That's thier MANTRA. TWO FINGERS TO THE POOREST CLASSES.
The word ‘Could’ is underestimating it a bit isn’t it?🤔……we all know they ‘Will’ take from the poorest to benefit the rich😤 RiotNow
Disgrace Resign trussliz
This scaremongering at its worst. It çould be true but still scaremongering.
Honestly, give the working class another good kicking? Time these rich fat cats were booted out of Government
I hope they do it will lead to violence and that's the only language they understand it about time the people rebelled France would never put up with this crap
Hello to everyone who has continued to vote Tory despite their continuous clusterfucks since 2010
That's absolutely rubbish and you know it.
When they end up lynching these two will there be public outcry?
Oh now why doesn't this surprise me.
So they want riots basically? This is an insane way to run the country.
Excellent news. Well overdue.
They will also ensure many of the lowest paid civil servants have their 14th year of pay cuts to give people like Elton John and extra £54000 a year.
If they go ahead with cutting benefits to the poorest to pay for a tax cut to those earning over £150,000 a year they are living in cloud cuckoo land and deserve all the abuse that will be coming their way. Govts look out for the vulnerable, not the richest God give me strength
Scum of the earth!!! Tories always attack the weakest in society.
This is democide.
nevertory
Flat out admitting they don't care about Britain.
I swear these scumbags want mass civil disobedience to enable them to implement Marshall law.
Imagine how much you'd need to hate Britain to vote for these people? I'm an independence supported and I would never debase myself to vote for a party who hates Britain so much.
james_reb Cut this out, and reduce funding Ukraine war
Hubby gets esa as hes classed as disabled and no other benefit. We still have rent to pay and are really struggling as it is with cost of living crisis. How are we to survive if the money is cut more? Maybe live in my shoes for a month or 2 see how they cope!
This cabinet is a stain on humanity
Wow is Liz really is playing how to destroy your party if they went after all the scroungers who don't have any intention to work then fair enough but all it's going to do is harm our vulnerable who have no choice to claim
I saw the Conservative Party Plunge into The Darkness of The Lava Tory in 1979 It states The Beast will rise from the depths of perversion and fat toads spill lies across the earth before their End as they Lash into each other losing all sense of Intelligent ability in Confusion
🥺
Good for Labour. The more abuse the Conservatives engage in the more hated they become.
I really believe they are trying to kill off the poor, the disabled and the elderly, I really believe this is financial euthanasia.
Truly a government of cunts.
They just don't give a toss about anyone - well apart from Tory donors!! This lot should rot
There are about 1.8 million households of working age who get at least 80% of their income from benefits. Approx 100 billion per year...
I... What the fuck is this.
Tories on the yellow brick road They seem to be lacking in courage. It appears that they're not that smart. Maybe you could forgive them if they only had a heart.
Beyond evil. What the hell do they expect people to do? Sit there and die quietly? I kinda expect some politicians might end up that way if they're not careful
So, I’ll just kill myself now shall I?
Keep it up. The times they are a changing.
It would be a cut to the income of the poorest areas of the UK. Those benefits will no longer be spent in your local economy.
This won't even play well with working people... as so many are on working benefits. Plus there's the obvious factor of this is ridiculously unfair & cruel!
They are hitting the bingo card of “worst ideas you could come up with” lmao
Get these heartless Tories out.
Is this actually a parody or are the toryscum just that blatant now in their hatred of the less fortunate
The road to serfdom is paved with conservative policies.
I don't like politics but if you thought Boris was bad, Liz and co are worse! Please don't tell me about Labour would be better because they are all snakes and we will all get bitten by whoever is in charge!
They're the Conservatives. They didn't need to hint at it: that was always going to be the case.
The Tories seem absolutely adamant that they want to lose
Apparently, demolishing the 'red wall' isn't enough; it has to be ground into dust! LizTruss KwasiKwarteng
ToryBritain An ongoing policy of genocide (democide) by stealth.
Kramse_ These people should be locked up. And let's throw away the keys. Disgusting selfish bastards.
They had better not try that or we will be asking for a ge. Not a good look
this must be the most incompetent, most self serving government we’ve ever had.
No fvckin rich even asked for these pay cuts! 🤬🤬
How low can these two get….
we need a GE and we need it very soon. These people are dangerous careless and incompetent.
Surely they can't do that, that is criminal, taking from the poor to give to the rich shocking, people are going to die, if not from illness then through suicide, they will it's going to push who have depression, too far, can't feed their children, houses repossessed, so worrying
Yes please I get taxed far too much.
WTF!?!
Riches for the rich and cuts for the poor. This has been the way of the Tories for more than 250 years and counting.
ITS THE TORIES WHY IS ANYONE SURPRISED! They've been doing this for 12 fucking years and people still vote for the c*nts!
Genuinely, what the fck is wrong with the Conservatives. Do they just want everyone bar the rich to starve to death. What an actual pair of scummy little tramps these 2 are.
Cost of living? Meanwhile, paying out large amounts for energy cost rise while proposing to whack benefits. Excellent joined up policy: give with one hand; take away with the other. Everyone will notice that one when it hits.
These are the most vulnerable of society cracking under the strain, some with no support having lost services who have fallen apart due to cuts in local services. Just watch as suicide rates go up. In our town this week, someone jumped from a roof due to cost of living strain.
They can consider as they wish the B......S !! It will NOT happen Period 🤮🥶😈
cartoonishly evil.
The UK needs a revolution.
Is this the Metro impartial reporting?
A bunch of heartless W⚓️s
vile libertarian ideology.
Of course they are. Can we get vote of no confidence now pls?
Liz! You're meant to pluck the goose not fuck it.
That's disgusting, what a lowlife. This is so wrong on so many levels. Get them out GeneralElection Starmer in can't happen soon enough
Allchanges 'They came for the socialists, I did not speak out. I was not a socialist. They came for the trade unionists. I did not speak out. I was not a trade unionist. They came for the Jews. I did not speak out, I was not a Jew.They came for me, no one was left to speak for me'
Tax the rich, block the loopholes and tax the big firms like Amazon. Plenty of money accumulated over the last 12 year's of Tory gifts
Scum. ToriesOutNow
Will the Conservatives be cutting the benefits for all those landing illegally and their families who live in other countries also or just the genuine UK citizen? trussliz KwasiKwarteng SuellaBraverman
Once again, the Conservatives scapegoating benefit claimants, including disabled people.
Where's Robin Hood when you need him
This will further divide rich from poor, which is precisely why the IMF intervened as it will create disorder and instability. The government is trying to reduce the UK to a libertarian hell-state where only the strongest (richest) can hope to survive.
“Tories indicate they really want riots and aggressive levels of social unrest to happen”.
😟🫣😬😵💫👿
mattyfeb1987 UnitedAgainstTheTories TrussOut25 ToriesOut85 GeneralElectionNow
Goodness, they really need to read the room. Cutting top rate and removing cap on bankers' bonuses already gave the wrong message during the worst possible economic climate. Can they really justify a real terms cut to welfare?
Jesus Christ. Can you get any lower.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This will be unacceptable. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. GTTONow
I get contributions based ESA. It’s £117 a week. My new energy bill is going to be approx £400 a month. How does 10DowningStreet KwasiKwarteng propose people like myself continue to live if they cut more of what little we get?
Starve the nation
Levelling up... according to Tories.
Evil, pure unadulterated evil.
Presumably lucyfrazermp you'll also be voting against any attempt to pass this as well? Cutting taxes for top earners and then cutting benefits sounds like the total opposite of what the people need. Last time I met you, you were a PM puppet. Are you still a PM puppet Lucy?
The rich can then move more money to offshore tax havens sucking out money circulating in the economy from the millions of poor people who actually spend the little they have in the country, genius.
That if it comes to pass will be the final straw.
Fully expect riots if this is true. They are taking the piss. Tax breaks for the rich, paid for by the poor. They should be dragged out of office. They will continue to do this until there is a stand.
Imagine voting for a party that takes money from the disabled to give to the rich…
Can they cut benefits any further ? Maybe stop with subsidised meals for MPs cap there expenses
MahsaAmini OpIran مهسا_امینی

Punishing disabled people for their fuckups
Social unrest is the only play here. They need to fear the people again.
That sounds really clever; give the rich more money and reduce that to the poorest members of society; - Where is their politicalinstinct, and even their morals. You couldn’t make this up.
Apparently the poor are all antisemites.
Truck load of deluded samples
Who will think of the gold plated toilet manufacturers..
This has to be a hail mary from a Conservatives government that just knows it's going out at the next election, right? They must be salting the earth for the next guys...
Maggie Version 2
When you thought this government couldn’t get anymore cruel…. ToryFascistDictatorship
They’re disgusting and awful
Tax cuts benefiting *everyone who works*. Perfect example of the MSM misleading readers with headlines and driving panic. Shameful.
Apart from being immoral, it also isn’t a budget for growth. Every penny of benefits is spent in the local economy. Conversely, the top 1% often spend their money off shore.
Excellent news. Benefit Monkeys are bleeding us dry
Senior ministers have declined to rule out scrapping a planned welfare uplift to ensure the system keeps pace with soaring inflation, a move which would amount of a real-terms cut 📉
She's as bad as Margaret Fletcher.
Disgusting.
Utter lies The media are pathetic
