Labour’s disdain for conducting impact assessments on the effects of its cuts and austerity reaches the ‘MSM’ – 11 months after Skwawkbox exclusively revealed it

The Telegraph has today reported that right-wing Labour Chancellor Rachel Reeves carried out ‘no impact assessment’ before ‘withdrawing winter fuel payments for 10 million pensioners, the Telegraph can reveal’.

The right-wing rag is a little late to the party. Skwawkbox revealed exclusively eleven months ago that Labour undertook no impact for any of its plans on vulnerable people, whether pensioners, the disabled, the poor, the ill or children.

Tragically, the revelation was correct and Labour has begun to implement its red-Tory austerity – supposedly to fix the blue-Tory austerity that wrecked the country – as soon as it was ushered into power by the fascist Reform ‘party’ despite receiving far fewer votes than in 2017 and even the supposed ‘disaster’ of 2019 under Corbyn.

And the party is even trying to cover up how many people the blue-Tory policies killed, presumably so its hands are freer to impose fresh misery and death without scrutiny – as if the UK’s ‘mainstream’ media does much scrutiny in the first place.
