Austerity has caused the death of over 130,000 human beings in Britain, that's absolutely outragous
That's 130,000 mums, dads, daughters, sons, uncles and aunts who have died because the Tories and the Lib Dems decided to make ordinary people pay for a crash that was caused by bankers, who we bailed out.
My final point, as a 'wobbly woman', I really have to highlight the tens of thousands of disabled and sick people who have died after being found fit for work.
We are one of the richest countries in the world and this is absolutely outrageous. Even the UN has called Tory welfare reform a violation of disabled people's rights.
I want to remind everyone here, anyone can become disabled or sick at any time and right now this government is taking away the safety net that we have fought for collectively over decades to help those in need.
And I think whatever your politics, you can agree that punishing disabled people and sick people for falling on hard times is absolutely morally wrong and they have blood on their hands.’ .
