Don’t be disabled in the UK

Posted on February 13 2026

This is from the Office for Budget Responsibility, in 2023:

The message is, don't be disabled in the UK: we really do not support those who are at all well.

I wonder what Sir Jim Ratcliffe has to say about that?

Or Farage? I can't help but think they are mates.

We really do need a politics for people that can deliver a politics of care.

It is going to take years to rid our society of cynical Thatcherite thinking.

I’m sure that if Farage and Ratcliffe weren’t already mates, they will be now.
I’m sure Farage will be tapping him up for a few quid!
