Stop all privatisation of the DWP

What the petition asks
A decent government would make the DWP workable again and reverse all privatisation thus far.
The only reason the DWP is now struggling is that has been deliberately run down as an excuse to farm it out by those and to others who have vested financial interests in seeing it privatised.

How many DWP Civil Servants are paid between the £37,000 to £40,000 p.a. that private assessors are paid? I bet very few Civil Servants are paid that much. This isn't to mention the much higher pay of the Executives, nor the profits of such companies. How is that financed? By forced weaponised deep poverty, even on those working full time.
STOP the privatisation of the DWP NOW!
