Employment and support allowance claimants to be sanctioned unless they agree to regular treatment

Vide the rightsnet news piece and the link to the Daily Telegraph:

A colleague has pointed out that not only does the DT (mis)represent ESA as ‘worth £105 a week’ - by implication that is paid to everyone, the concept of the Support group goes unmentioned - but once their readership has finished fuming at the unmitigated feckless scroungers on ESA who deserve to be sanctioned, they can click on a link to an article entitled ‘How to beat the Child Benefit rule change and other tax hikes’

‘Cheeky ‘ard-faced’ is a phrase that comes to mind. ‘One law for the rich…?’ says my colleague. Hmmmm.
