This Government has failed our most vulnerable people

Theresa May claims that the job of her Government is to keep our streets safe from foreign nationals and governments. Who will protect us from her? The homeless have literally frozen to death on the streets in recent months, and in the name of austerity tens of thousands of sick and disabled claimants have died within weeks of their benefits being withheld after being found “fit for work”.

When claiming personal independence payment, a mentally ill person was asked by her assessor in 2013 why she hadn’t killed herself yet; and a United Nations report has condemned the Tory Government as making “grave violations” in the way in which it is treating the sick and disabled. Theresa May’s Government is now challenging the use of the Human Right Act in recent successful challenges to the welfare benefit cuts.

There isn’t a magic money tree, but May is giving £100m towards debunking Russian “disinformation“while taking free school meals away from a million of the poorest kids in England.

More than a million people now rely on food banks to eat, many of whom are nurses and policemen and women. The Tories are destroying public services, privatising schools and the NHS. They have even started privatising the police force. Take a moment to think about that.

While the Tories are making the UK streets safe for Russian double agents, they have created a hell on earth for the sick, disabled, vulnerable and poor in this country.
