1/ WCA “reform” = Benefit cut of same size as Winter Fuel, but instead of a large number of families losing a couple of hundred quid a year, it’s a small number losing a couple of hundred quid a fortnight @resfoundation.bsky.socialwww.resolutionfoundation.org/publications...
Like the Tories Labour seems to concentrate too much on this when it accounts for less money than DWP errors in many areas. 🙄
2/ This was an easy “anti-waste” budgetary line for the Conservatives—briefed with vague words about calling time folks with a touch of anxiety slacking off If Labour wants the savings it will now have to turn this into an implementable plan. Existing claims affected. Grizzly
