but it seems they don't want to go that low as the culture wars dare not touch the disabled...
Touch? They don’t even acknowledged them.

Yep but I think because she wants to please the "culture warriors" here. If she would try to make a point "disabled people just need to be more responsible" it won't go down well.
Quite happy to have a go at LGBT and gender equality, but they won't sink that low.
Of course PIP is not working for many people and completely fails people with mental health issues / people that look "too good".

Well, perhaps she will be true to her word and the bottom 25% of wealth and income (usually non white) will be uplifted and poverty will disappear cos it has nothing to do with fashionable characteristics...
...some people genuinely make that argument btw, I don't buy it, but surely if they actually tackle this by investing in the poorer areas and resolve the poverty then it is a good thing.
"greater control over their lives though" by giving them money so they have a choice? offer cheap business credit? end foodbanks? Probably not...
She missed a trick: No mention of ignoring disability...but it seems they don't want to go that low as the culture wars dare not touch the disabled...
