Why do you support Theresa May when she killed 120,000 disabled people through the cuts she made?

Feel free to express your opinion of course but reference every fact you state with a link or something others can search up to verify that what you have said is true. My reference is The Independent. Do not get personal. Do not insult. When someone must rely on their ability to hurt another rather than rely on fact, they have already lost the argument. Therefore I must ask that if someone comments on your post with words that offend, do not reply to them as there is no point and it is clear you have won the argument not them. Thank you.

"The Conservatives have been accused of “economic murder” for austerity policies which a new study suggests have caused 120,000 deaths.
The paper found that there were 45,000 more deaths in the first four years of Tory-led efficiencies than would have been expected if funding had stayed at pre-election levels.

On this trajectory that could rise to nearly 200,000 excess deaths by the end of 2020, even with the extra funding that has been earmarked for public sector services this year." Landmark study links Tory austerity to 120,000 deaths, The Independent.

@TexChik What evidence do you have against this? I also have close to first hand experience with the benefit system (my partner). Back story to give context. He's severely disabled, 70% of the time bed bound and he comes from down south. He was kicked off ESA without warning, when he questioned them, they stated he was never on it despite having bank details to prove it. He lost his flat share and became homeless. For 2 and a half years he sofa surfed, often ended up on the streets themselves, all the while trying to get the PIP he deserved. He finally got it only a few months ago after them sending him on paper trails, giving him at least 7 different fake phone numbers to contact the right people. When he finally got his backpayment, £4000 was missing and he was put on the lowest rate despite ticking every box for the higher rate, obviously needing it. He could not get a flat down south as the majority dont accept DSS because of bias so he came up north near me. What he didnt realise is that us northerners dont get income support, we get universal credit. He got a flat 3 days after he found an estate agent, unfortunately, 3 weeks later hes now facing the possibility of losing it because his benefits could drop by 2 thirds. Also, the transition between income support and universal credit is a hard one, a 5-6 week wait with not a penny. He had to borrow from the council £400 just to pay his rent. Hes paying it back monthly for a year out of his own pocket, not housing benefit as it should be. Even the estate agent knew he was getting fucked over and being just across the road to the centre, marched straight over when he told her what had happened. When she questioned the person at the desk, they backpeddled. Without another backpayment, if he loses his flat, he will be on the streets again and as his condition has deteriated, he will die. Believe them when they tell you how their system is so incredible if you wish but I can see with my own eyes whats been happening. I housed him when he hadn't a place of his own, fed him, cleaned up his sick, seen the tears form in his eyes then feel so trapped he had to resist with everything in him not to whack his head off the brick wall. He shakes, hes so scared and I am too. I don't want to lose him.

@BlackcurrentSundae show me the proof .

@TexChik He's my partner. I have emailed the BBC with his story and he's up for being interviewed by the media if they need it but I don't know how to give proof of this without giving you him himself. Hes has many, many letters from it all and has many notes from what they have done but I cannot prove it to you. You know I can't prove it to you, thus the reason you have asked.

Classic liberal argument for wealth redistribution. “People will die!!!”
@QuixoticSoul well the police part is a good idea - I can control crime in my little corner

Don't care. They need to get costs down.
