  • Jan.19.2019: Unfit DWP should be axed, says thinktank. Demos report says Ministers should consider abolishing the Department for Work and Pensions after its failure to help ill and disabled people out of poverty. Most of the work of Amber Rudd’s department could be carried out more effectively by other Whitehall ministries. Tom Pollard, on secondment from Mind, concluded that the "DWP is institutionally and culturally incapable of making the reforms needed to achieve such a shift in outcomes for ill and disabled people, or for ‘harder-to-help’ groups more widely”. It accuses the department of seeing claimants through a “benefits lens”, in which conditions were placed on their payments as a way of forcing them into work. A DWP spokesman said "This report is completely misguided..." + "Word Salad". Michael Savage, The Guardian.
