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. #Motability #PIP #DisabilityRights #KemiBadenoch #UKPolitics #DisabilityTwitter #FactCheck #DWP #ToryChaos
