  3. The Prime Minister's proposed fraud, error and debt bill will impose draconian legislation on over 22 million people to save £10 billion from fraud and error every year that New Labour MPs say is unsustainable. Yet £10 billion is 0.82% of the government budget for 2024/2025. The same government is giving Ukraine the most corrupt country in Europe £3 billion a year for the next 100 years. The British government has also said it will cut £3 billion from disability benefits, benefits for the most vulnerable in the UK. British Conservative governments from May 2010 - December 2019 cut £37 billion from social security benefits with billions of pounds cut from disability benefits. Boris Johnson's government spent £37 billion over two years on the failed private Test and Trace programme. Conservative governments were said to allowed £35 billion to be lost to fraud on additional COVID lockdown benefits, however whilst Universal Credit claimants received an extra £20 a week the same government with Rishi Sunak as Chancellor outright refused to give legacy benefit claimants the same £20 uplift, resulting in legacy benefits many of whom are disabled losing over £1,000 each over the year. Conservative governments have spent £15 billion to set up Universal Credit without paying a single benefit claimant. The money would have been better spent increasing social security benefits. There's also the £23 billion in unclaimed social security benefits. Politicians imposing austerity, benefit cuts, cuts to public services and welfare reform make claiming disability benefits as difficult as possible is dehumanising and inhuman and demonstrates that these policies are Neoliberal ideology and a political choice never a necessity as tge government owned Bank of England could easily fund any additional government spending without adversely affecting the British economy.
