“There are people watching this who maybe have severe disabilities, who maybe can’t go to work through no fault of their own. Can you tell them this morning whether or not your reforms will mean they have less cash?” Laura Kuenssberg

@bbclaurak LK asks about the disabled who can't work, 3 times Wes Steeting doesn't answer the question but talks about getting people back to work. They are just not listening.

@bbclaurak They are also talking about making pip harder to qualify for, for those with mental health issues, just because a disability can't be seen, that doesn't mean that person is not disabled.

@bbclaurak Watching this it is not utterly astonishing that a health sec hasn’t been fully informed of cuts that will have an impact on the nhs? Or, rather who are they kidding? And they don’t think us (the public) fools? Come on, this is gaslighting at its absolute best. Just bizzare.

@bbclaurak Laura, please can you clearly explain what PIP is. It is being misrepresented. Please also question Liz K and Wes S about why they are pitting society against the disabled? It can happen to anyone at any time.

@bbclaurak @wesstreeting working closely with his friend the sec. of state for DWP @leicesterliz but hasn’t seen the proposals yet? Not sure how that works 🤔

@bbclaurak Streeting is a liar he stated this morning 1000 a week are signing on to pop that’s impossible it takes months to get your assessment and you don’t sign on to it it’s based of medical and social needs he is lying clearly a hater of the disabled steamers mum would be ashamed

@bbclaurak It’s the gvts fault that people with ME/CFS . Can’t go to work! 75% can’t work & 25% are house or bedbound and yet the gvt invests just £4/patient/year on research , which is 40x less per patient than the government invests in dementia research

@bbclaurak It's not the freeze that is scary it the changes to the criteria that will cause devastating problems why don't you ask that question @bbclaurak? Or @BethRigby or @edballs @gmb

@bbclaurak Works closely with his ' friend ' Liz, working .. together and alongside ... Yet can't answer this simple question give me a break !!

@bbclaurak "Through no fault of their own" This implies that in some cases, it is the person's fault.
