fkin bollocks hes standing for what he believes he,ll be setting the scene for a leadership challenge after the referendum and is getting some brownie points with the public.

If they sorted out the genuine disabled from the lazy fat scrounger who claim to have some disability they wouldn't need the cuts

 

I used to know a lass who worked for the motorbility and she said only about a 1/4 of the 3 million disability cars are what any normal person would class as,a genuine disability

 

Payments became so high and out of control under labour it was out of control

I can't see the party giving a failed (and very unpopular) leader a second chance...

PIP (the benefit being cut) was introduced by the Conservatives so literally nothing to do with Labour...

Call me a cynical old bugger, but I recon there is more to it, he is a leader in the LEAVE EU camp!

He's a false prick all a act

[cragman 2,791]

The twat has got a hidden agenda. Someone's pulling his strings....maybe Boris?

He says he feels he is unable to protect the poor and needy in society. Bollocks, he's an MP and doesn't give a shit

he made the point about not all being in this together, pointing out benefits paid to wealthy pensioners and tax breaks for the better off, he is pointing his finger at Cameron and Osbourne, All these changes to the welfare state have been aimed at the poorest section of claimants. as the minimum wage increases Tax credit entitlement will diminish, again aimed at the low earners, universal benefits should be abolished and all benefits should be means tested, this will stop people demonizing those on benefits despite claiming thousands per year in benefits themselves. Big Companies who earn money in this country should pay the tax rate for this country, end of. We will never all be in this together.

then maybe not his own leadership campaign,but giving himself some credibility in boris' cabinet? or maybe he thinks boris will drop a bollock and there will be an opening? one thing is for sure is that he isn't concerned about what he,s resigned about!
