Cats are insane.  They freak out at the tiniest crinkle of plastic, but 
will remain totally calm and purring while I tell them about AI being 
put in charge of the nuclear arsenal.

“The benefits bill is completely out of control. Spending is due to hit £407 billion by 2030-31. As we revealed in our submission to the Timms review, there are now nearly 200,000 households with an income of £100,000 receiving Personal Independence Payments (PIP), up from just 98,000 in 2021-22.

Catching the attention of the media, our findings could be found in the Daily Mail and Express, while Shimeon Lee told the Telegraph:

“The surge in the number of these households since 2021-22 has coincided with the soaring cost of disability benefits. The Government must introduce means-testing to ensure the system remains sustainable for those who need it most.”

With our benefits dashboard showing successful PIP claims for things like acne, food intolerance, and writer’s cramp, it’s easy to see how the bill has gotten so out of hand.

As if to prove Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden’s claim that every conversation he has is “who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others”, ministers are apparently exploring tax rises instead of clamping down on welfare to cover the shortfall for defence.”
