Labour MP kind of feels like he was voted into office to look after vulnerable?

A LABOUR rebel has admitted that he voted against the welfare bill because he always felt the party had more of a ‘caring for the disabled’ vibe.

Martin Bishop, member for Lewisham North, said that he did not want to be a Jeremy Corbyn or anything but did he not remember something along those lines in the manifesto?

He continued: “I know, balancing the budget and everything. But the phrase ‘on the backs of those who can least afford it’ kept floating up, like we said when we weren’t in power.

“Is that not just Labour? From the many to the few, and such sentiments? As opposed to ‘You can wash yourself so get to f**king work?’

“I looked over the benefits bill, and its withdrawal of all funding to all young people with mental health problems on the statistical suspicion some of them must be faking it, and thought ‘Tory’. Followed by ‘well Tory’.

“How about, instead, we just tax someone we haven’t thought of yet but who won’t mind? I’ll leave the details up to Rachel Reeves. I’m an ideas man.”

Keir Starmer said: “If this bill still takes benefits away from even one person, it is a success.”
