ALT Four different news headlines of the same story on a ripped paper design. They read: 1) ‘Rishi Sunak says he wants to cut benefits to pay for tax cuts’. 2) ‘Sunak says he wants to reduce workers’ taxes this year and may cut benefits.’ 3) ‘Prime Minister Rishi Sunak working to crackdown on 'benefit scroungers'. 4) ‘Sunak pledges to cut taxes by curbing welfare spending’.
ALT The text is over the alt text limit of a thousand words, but the main remarks are: "Yet again benefit claimants are treated as easy targets by the Government in its desire to save money, as a new attack on the welfare system was launched at the Conservative Party Conference today." "To continue to stereotype benefit claimants is unacceptable, to propose more sanctions is unacceptable, the government needs to stop demonising people." "If the government genuinely wants to reduce the number of people on benefits, there should be announcements on significant investment in the NHS and social care, a huge investment in mental health services, free skills training and for those who need to remain on benefits, which is already the least generous welfare system in Western Europe" The full statement can be read on : www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news-policy
