Angry Rachel Reeves LIED when tackled on her cruel benefits policy
An angry Rachel Reeves lied when tackled on her cruel benefits policy on a Sunday morning politics programme.
She was challenged by Trevor Phillips, on Sky News; he wanted to know why she was happy to listen to rich non-doms and change Labour government policy to give them more money, but not to listen to (for example) disabled benefit claimants from whom she is planning to steal something like £8 billion.
See for yourself. Here’s the bit about non-doms:

Now watch her demeanour change when discussing disabled people:

“This is about tackling fraud in the benefits system,” she snapped. There’s just one problem.
There is NO fraud in the disability benefit system. The most recent recorded rate of fraud for the disability benefit Personal Independence Payment was 0.0 per cent.
So either she is incompetent and does not know the most important fact about this subject… or she was lying.
Which of those do you think it was?
Of course, Labour is planning to change the criteria by which a person’s right to disability benefits is judged – but that’s not the same as tackling fraud.
It’s pretending that a person who is disabled is lying about it.
And that’s about as snake-belly-in-the-mud low as any politician can go – lying about what makes a person disabled in order to starve the most vulnerable people in the country. Reeves really has disgraced herself and everybody in her party with those few ill-chosen words.
