Labour will hold an inquiry into all the benefit-related deaths overseen by Tories. VOTE LABOUR
Bring out your dead: This is how it has felt under the Conservative (and Liberal Democrat) governments since 2010. The death toll has been colossal. It is long past time the authorities who inflicted an early death on vulnerable, sick and disabled people were brought to justice. Labour has announced an intention to do so.
At least 130,000 people have died as a result of victimisation by the Department for Work and Pensions – on the orders of the Conservative government (helped by the Liberal Democrats during the Coalition).
That is the bare minimum as the Conservatives no longer respond to Freedom of Information requests on the subject and those responses we have are incomplete.
I have been writing about the deaths incurred as a result of Tory/DWP benefit denial, practically since I started This Site nearly eight years ago.
I knew there was never any prospect of an inquiry under a Conservative government – and to be honest, I despaired of seeing Labour promise it until Jeremy Corbyn was installed as leader. Remember when Rachel Reeves was shadow Work and Pensions secretary? Dark days!
It must be obvious that I’m leading up to this:
“A Labour government would set up an independent inquiry into the deaths of disabled benefit claimants linked to the actions of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and its private sector contractors.”
The details are on the Disability News Service website and, by all means visit and read them.
But they don’t really matter.
Under Labour, we may finally find out the real death toll – although I warn you now, it will probably be horrifying.
Under Labour, we might just be able to see those responsible for this years-long atrocity brought to justice.
So if you don’t have any other reason to support Labour, do it for this.
The families and friends of the dead need this.
Vote Labour for justice.
Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.

Aktion T4 statted by RTU IDs yet that figure will be way to low of the deaths by these creatures who inflict more pain on those who just can’t take anymore of them will justice come for those who couldn’t live anymore I wonder jeff3
Mr silk knickers IDS should be first on the list to be investigated, being the instigator of the Tory policies against the sick, disabled and unemployed of this country. Attempted genocide being the charge!
I’ve been dreaming of this, but thought it would remain just a dream, so this is fantastic! If IDS loses his seat at the election, the new Labour government should issue a warrant for his arrest and alert all ports!
