United Response, a learning disability charity, criticised Reeves for talking about the need for a crackdown on benefit fraud. Sapphire Beamish, its head of communications, said: It is a poor decision to continue the rhetoric around tightening work capability assessments alongside a ‘crackdown on fraud’. The negative framing on welfare continues to inflict stigma and increase the worry for people with a learning disability who are left feeling let down that the focus is on saving money over supporting disabled people. James Taylor, executive director of strategy at disability equality charity Scope, welcomed investment in localised employment support for disabled people, but added: 44 Bringing in changes based on savings, not on supporting disabled people, will be disastrous. Ramping up restrictions won’t help support more disabled people into work, it will only make their lives harder. Brewer also echoes the concerns voiced by welfare charities today (see previous post), saying: “And while the Chancellor has confronted Britain’s austerity challenge, she has kicked the can down the road on Britain’s equally pressing poverty challenge until next Spring at the earliest. A failure to reverse damaging welfare cuts could see over 200,000 more children affected by the two-child limit.”

The creation of the #ContinentalArmy was, in the long run, perhaps their most significant achievement. The message was clear: This was not a regional outbreak of violence but was the #unitedresponse of the mainland North American colonies.
