And what happens when the NHS gets sold to Trump's insurance companies?

No doubt, for 'help', read 'force'. More bureaucracy to deny the needy and more vulnerable access to state assistance?

Would I, a former company director, be expected to stack shelves at Tesco overnight, despite a proven handicap that Work and Pensions deny? They deny 97% of PIP claims. There is a culture that this article ignores.

Whilst I would love to be able to return to work, that sounds more like HMG trying to lessen the burden on the state - when combined with their assessment system. I've twice been assessed by HMG as being totally fine - which is a medical impossibility and countered by NHS.

so they don't have to die ..Awh in the meantime

Amber Rudd, aaaaaand I'm out
