Please be aware cars are not " given away" as part of a benefit. They are leased and around £300pm deducted from benefit. Furthermore the often touted "big cars" encur an additional upfront charge not refunded when the car is returned. The system is abused though by scammers!
No i am disabled and a pensioner on minimum pension and pip i just about manage. I rely on my car it is not a new car it is a Ford 09 plate. My only benefit is car tax and blue badge all my income goes into my care needs.

Reform leader Nigel Farage has posted on X
“1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English”
It’s racked up 2 million views
AND IT’S COMPLETELY UNTRUE
Putting this Russia/MAGA tool in charge of the economy would make Truss look like Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes rolled into one. Most sensible people who don't get their political views in the pub know this.
Farage is a dead fox running.
The cost of food has risen by 37% in five years. Meanwhile, Tesco’s operating profit jumped from £1.8bn in 2021 to £3.1bn in 2024/25, an increase of 72%..
Tory gets caught red-handed lying through her teeth and makes no apology, just carries on gaslighting and inciting anger against the mentally disabled with false information..
I’ve done a bit of research into these claims, and here is what I found regarding how Kemi is misrepresenting the facts and why this is pure disinformation:
1. The "Free Car" Myth: Framing this as a "taxpayer-funded car" is a complete distortion of how Motability works. It is exclusively a lease scheme. Claimants voluntarily exchange their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) mobility allowance to cover the lease cost. If you remove their access to the car, the state still pays them that cash allowance. The cost to the taxpayer is identical; the only difference is that disabled people lose their independence.
2. The "Mild" Condition Lie: This is the most dangerous part. You cannot get the Enhanced Mobility Rate (required for a car) for "low-level" anxiety or "mild" depression. To qualify, a condition must be severe enough to functionally prevent a person from planning or following a journey safely. Framing debilitating psychological distress as "mild" is a calculated move to stigmatise disabled people and incite public anger.
3. Cherry-picked Stats: The claim that a "third of all sales" come from this scheme is statistically misleading. Nationally, the figure is closer to 15%. Using extreme regional outliers to imply the entire market is skewed is simply dishonest.
This isn't about "fixing welfare"; it’s about stripping independence from vulnerable people to score political points. Readers, please check the actual criteria before falling for this spin.

In Calamity Lammy’s last 24 hours he’s:
-refused to explain himself in Parliament as he feared ‘career suicide’
-refused to say how many prisoners have been let out mistakenly and how many are still at large
-created more confusion by getting the timeline of events wrong
The Tories are bribed by the fossil fuel industry to keep you buying gas and oil, which are the cause of the cost of living crisis, when we could be energy independent with much cheaper renewables. They want to rip you off.. #bbcqt
FFS 30p @LeeAndersonMP_ Another crackhead spouting drivel. Motability: 3 year lease for giving up your pip & yes you can upgrade "the" car if you want to pay £5k on upgrades.
Blue Badge: Belongs to the pip recipient & not the car & yes that gets abused...
Farage’s partner - the fraud files bit.ly/3KVZpj4 which raise more questions about where she found £885,000 to buy Clacton house that Farage ‘misspoke’ to say he bought. Times says Brussels may look again at “his colourful two decades as an MEP between 1999 and 2020”
