Pat McFadden in a message to Peter Mandelson.
Not a good thing to come out for the Labour party, this Mandelson appointment continues to inflict serious pain to the party each time new documents are released |  |

The number of dubious claims seems to be on the increase. I am aware of two examples where benefit has started this year. They both relate to attendance allowance of which I have some personal experience.
When I first looked into this, eight years ago, Spinal Injuries Association offered to help complete the 30 page application form for my wife, The offer was declined, these days there are even companies who advertise their services and only charge a fee if the claim is successful.
Attendance Allowance was granted for 3 years and another 30 page application had to be completed. When it was time to apply a third time I thought this was ridiculous and sent a letter with the form e explaining that there was no prospect of her situation ever changing for the better. They no longer give an expiry date.
I know of a guy, diagnosed with Prostate Cancer late last year, who has made a successful claim for AA yet he has since purchased a motor home and takes himself away for weeks at a time on his own, leaving his wife at home. I wouldn’t do it but I wouldn’t report him either.
I might add I also know people who would qualify for a number of tax free benefits but don’t because they don’t need financial help.
A reset is needed but can’t see it happening without causing serious hardship to many. |
Your last sentence is exactly why it cannot happen- it would be a form of eugenics.
Our country won’t be fixed by hurting the most vulnerable- look up, not down. |  | | |

The cowardice of an election strategy that refused to criticise Jeremy Hunt's two vindictive cuts to National Insurance, let alone pledge to overturn them has predictably not been a success. |
This with bells on. |  | | |

We are heading for disaster. They need to be creating a plan for how to deal with AI/robotics when it takes lots of jobs. Unemployment is likely only going one way. |
This with bells on too.
And not something that Blair's essay, in its enthusiasm for AI, addressed. [Post edited 3 Jun 8:08]
