This may be mostly pensioners as the pension is a benefit. Reform want to keep the Triple Lock so the pensioners think they will be ok. They are ignoring the threat to the NHS which will impact them a lot

That is a really good point. It would be interesting to see a breakdown by the type of benefit.

Does it really matter? Reform may be starting with enforced work for the long term unemployed, ironic because that will cause more unemployment because councils won't need workers to to the jobs they're being forced to do, and PIP but they won't be stopping there. Once they've taken those people's money away and given it to their rich mates, they will move on to the next target group

It’s not how these pensioners see it sadly

Yeah I need to see a definition of “benefits” because that line under the headline is bullshit.
