campaign against welfare cuts and poverty

Apropos of nothing, there were 15 pages of jobs (i use the word advisedly) on Universal JObmatch yesterday. That's 15 pages of adverts uploaded, supposedly, that day.

And we know that the DWP don't let claimants off just because it's Christmas. IDS knows if you've been naughty or nice!

Thanks for the warning, although I'm one of the lucky ones who don't have to show any signs of looking for work.

:( I find it hard to believe anyone had actually advertised a new job on Christmas day. (Edit: not doubting you just wondering how they've appeared, automated bots? Dwp conspiracy to make ujm look busy?)
But yeah, raverdrew got a three year sanction for not doing job search between Christmas and New year so do it or lie cos they are utter scum.
 
It is hard to believe. I have no idea how it really works behind the scenes. It could well be that these were jobs advertised the day before and the software somehow automatically changes the date every day so as to make it look like they are uploaded that day. I didn't look at all the jobs, I was only doing it because i was curious to see how it worked on that particular day. I know one job was already closed (on the 19th).

Funding for residential training for disabled people in jeopardy

Colleges that provide specialist residential training for disabled people to help them find work fear closure in 2014 after the government failed to guarantee their continued funding.

The future of the nine charity-run colleges hangs in doubt after they received only a passing mention in a disability and health employment strategy published by ministers earlier this month.

The colleges' contracts with the Department for Work and Pensions, worth a total £18m, expire in August 2014. Those that offer longer training courses say they will have to stop taking students from January.

Jonathan Powell, chief executive of Queen Elizabeth's Foundation for Disabled People, which runs residential training in Leatherhead, Surrey, said: "The fear is that we are going to see disabled people with complex needs in effect thrown on the scrapheap because they are judged too difficult to help."
 
I don't think anything is going to stop him. Not common sense, not public opinion, not evidence, not fact, not reason. Unless something happens to intervene this blundering thundercunt will persist along with his chums Lord Fraud, Steve Webb, McVile and the rest of the scum.
 
IDS has had a piece in the mail recently, apparently championing his 'jobsearch centre' idea. This is going to help 6,000 people apparently. Surely it's no different than the Work Programme then (and it's aimed at those the programme has failed, though he will see it the other way round of course), and as such must be an admission of its failure?

38 degrees have a petition:

LETTER TO THE ICC AT THE HAGUE RE MISTREATMENT OF THE DISABLED AND SICK

We are aware that Mr Samuel Miller has written to you to ask if it possible to file an ICC complaint against several British Ministers—namely, Iain Duncan Smith, Chris Grayling, and Maria Miller for their role in the draconian welfare reforms and the resultant deaths of our society’s most vulnerable.

We, the undersigned, are adding our voices to Mr Miller's request for answers to the following questions:

Are austerity deaths of the sick and disabled in the U.K. considered a crime against humanity by the ICC?

Would the UNCRPD be taken into consideration by the court?

Do you believe that the sick and disabled of Britain have a justiciable ICC case?
 
Osbournes pledged a further 25 bn in cuts for this year and sounded very sympathetic to the wheeze of cutting under 25's HB completely. Madness.

This, the day after Cameron goes on TV to reassure the pensioners that come what may, they won't be affected. He's done his electoral calculus on this one: Shit on the ones least likely to vote, and butter up the ones who're most likely.

It is, but it isn't really news though; we knew he wanted to further cut welfare and that cutting HB for under 25's was on the table.
