Not news. Just stating the current policy that has always been in place.

Why are the Labour Party still campaigning for the votes of the Daily Mail and true-blue Tories?

Stuff like this is a vote winner according to the feedback they get in focus groups.

What benefits?

You guys have benefits?

For trainers and joggers. Yes.

Always been the case.

But Chatbots are supposed to be able to do all our work now (except for entrepreneurship which is absolutely not a combination of privilege and dumb luck). Make your mind up, Liz Kendall!

Well, yeah.
If you can't work, fine. If you won't work, that's different.

Why? Why should we all have to work just to survive? Productivity is so immensely high with computers and machines that work is not a requirement for life or society like it once was. A smaller percentage of the population can work than before for the same overall output.
Work should improve your life. You put something in, you get something out (pay). Now you can go and improve your life somehow by buying goods and/or services. But needing to work just for the bare basics of food and shelter is ridiculous in the modern age. We're a rich country, we should be able to afford to feed and home our population with ease and yet constantly in political discourse there's talk of benefits "scroungers" "stealing" money they "don't deserve", usually for pitifully small amounts of money as well.
