Reform Councils told by Robert Jenrick to lower their costs by forcing benefit claimants in and workers out.

 


Robert Jenrick and his REFORM Ltd. cohorts have decided to collapse the UK Employment Rights Act 2025 in order to slash the nation's benefits bill by £50 Billion creating two tier workforces nationally.


He and his mates are planning to force Councils to accept the long term unemployed particularly those who claim personal independence payment and the higher rate of sickness benefit attached to universal credit into "cleaning our high streets".


Other legislation including the Procurement Act 2023 will have to be twisted to allow unequal treatment of contract workers in the public sector.


Jenrick’s plan, which does not have a working figure attached to it, will have to run similar to chain gang schemes across the American deep south.


This unequal treatment takes the UK back to 1833 and REFORM's light blue’s seem to have forgotten that PM Earl Grey halted slavery right across the empire and commonwealth which include the British Isles in that year. 


This new policy shows how twisted the decisions supported by his REFORM cohorts and denial of BREXIT’s failures which will cause even more immense problems on our high streets if £50billion is removed from the UK benefit system without a plan to replace it.


These draconians changes may also force Council’s into bankruptcy rather like Birmingham as laws protecting equality and equal treatment will become fair game for lawyers and trade unions who will challenge any future two tier workforce links through the courts.


How small will a £50billion saving look then Mr Jenrick?

Ian Lavery MP is correct? Changing our thinking only damages the poor!


 The recent attacks by right wing southern based media against local dialects are in the words of Blyth and Ashington MP “the last form of acceptable discrimination”.

Reading articles supporting his stance on social media he has correctly called out those who have used this slight to damage ordinary people from understanding what's being done in the name of politics which is designed only to make the rich much richer and to keep the poor in their place.


Ian Lavery MP is well known for helping those in greatest need and for years he has had to fight a Tory county council backed up by a Tory Government to get things done locally.


The bastardisation of the English language by the Tories which is the basis of these attacks has been planned and wicked, placing the poor in peril every day in the sphere of housing. We all need to fear politicians speaking through their forked tongues using the all encompassing corrupted double-talk ‘affordable homes’.


During 2011 Grant Shapps, the Tory Minister responsible for Homes and Communities introduced a new planning regime to ensure Westminster had its evil eye on everything. The basis of the real divided society that we all suffer from today.


His edict set within his new planning document was to snuff out the words ‘Council Homes’ and ‘Social Housing’ for associations and charities supplying homes at certain lower levels of market rent and stir them into a mix with new affordable homes ( which are only affordable once) and instruct all authorities with housing responsibilities to only use ‘Affordable Homes’ to cover off everything that may be used to challenge planning decisions under one suffocating blanket.


This similar slight to openly criticising people who speak with a local accent and with REFORM UK members openly speaking against the use and cost of use of our regional languages it's time for us all to jump up and down and demand the end of this it doesn't matter unless your rich attitude and get the planners to go back and in this years alteration to the national planning framework bring back the two lost terms and begin to speak with clarity and not like biblical serpents.


 People need to know what their hard earned cash is really being spent on and if it's for social or charitable need, Council safe and protective housing or bunging builders to lower the cost of a few homes on sites they're working on to cover off the needs of local planners without lowering profits for their shareholders.


Let's get back to supporting people who need our support and in the process rebuild communities to support those who dwell within them whether they speak with a plum in their mouths or retain the pride in speaking like their neighbours.
