'This is a government that has been forced to take some very difficult decisions' Ed questions science and technology secretary Peter Kyle MP over plans to cut billions from the rising welfare bill and threatening to vote against freezing disability benefits.

They have not been 'forced' to do anything. What they have done is quietly told the rich 'don't worry we wont be touching any of your money' It's as simple as that.

Low-income Americans who voted for Trump say they are counting on him to keep their benefits intact even while his Cabinet picks and Republican lawmakers call on him to reduce federal spending.

Cutting billions from welfare while many struggle isn’t just a ‘difficult decision’—it’s a choice that directly impacts the most vulnerable. If the government is willing to freeze disability benefits, what does that say about its priorities?

Now that Labour are in power ..they are doing everything that you would not expect from a socialist government ..even austerity. Although they are still banging on about 14 years of Tory rule. Reality bites !!

How about leave the British people that need the benefits due to ill health and get rid of the £7million a day illegal economic migrants. They have put in zero into the system and are getting the most out.

Disabled people are not 'difficult decisions' - it's more rhetoric and lies from an abhorrent government that conned the electorate with their 'change' propaganda. Thankfully I didn't vote for this shower.

There aren’t almost 9 million disabled not working. That’s a lie. 5.4 million do work and Ed literally commentating on behalf of labour with his partisan bs is nothing more than GMB allowing a party political broadcast on behalf of labour.

Difficult decisions my arse, stop paying for hotels for illegal immigrants, and start looking after uk citizens .

It's not difficult to take from the vulnerable, it's easy, cowardly and nasty. Bravery would be taking from the super rich who have actual power

Wonder how much money would be saved if we done away with, MPs expenses, subsidised food and drink in HOC, abolished the house of lords, and got rid of the monarchy.

The Labour party is not the party of work. It is the party of workers rights, including the right for our disabled family Members to be supported.
