"The radicalism not only has not transpired, but something else, something cold and stomach-sinking, has emerged: a government clear in its intent on making savings by targeting the most vulnerable in society – the sick, disabled people, mentally ill people. This isn’t simply a locking in of the austerity state #Labour inherited, but an extension of it."
Mental health conditions are overdiagnosed, Streeting says:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd7ejvr3y0zo
Absolutely fuming!
There are lots of people suffering without help because of the stigma around mental health. By effectively saying that people diagnosed with mental health are on the scrounge, the mental health crisis will worsen.
But I don't think that the red-Tories really give a fuck.

The #Labour Party will release the changes to #WelfareBenefits just before the Spring Statement because they hope that the details of the latter will overshadow the cruelty of the former.
I believe there is a 'law' referring to headlines with a question mark
Inevitably YES is the answer.
“Starmer-Kendall disability benefit change is targeted war on people with mental health issues”
by Skwawkbox @skwawkbox @UKLabour
“New points structure is designed to deny support to those with mental illness or neurodivergence”
Wes Streeting folks, barely got elected into his seat, now fucking about with the NHS in adoration of a Rapist.
This Labour are 'centre left' in the way that the Dems are 'left', as in ....they are not.
A government directed by ChatGPT?
Something of which they have little knowledge (other than it seems to produce the right words), no control over the sources/data/slgorithms... What do we have to loose?

Things just keep getting worse for Tulip - once ;anti corruption minister’ In the Starmer government
Of course this needs to be proven in a court of law, but her involvement in her families dealings in very murky corruption should surely have been a warning flag to him.
@knittingknots2 i do not understand why AOC does not leave the Democrats and start her own party with Bernie. The same way Jeremy Corbyn and the non-genocidal classwar MPs in the UK should have left the Labour party. I think it is now a tactical mistake. If they can't hear now that people reject the traditional 2-party system, they'll never hear it and will never win.
A truly stunning lack of originality, and the hilarity of still pretending to be on the Left, while idolising a Far Right populist who is currently destroying his own country.
And besides, the Tories already tried it 10 years ago.

I hear Labour are calling it among themselves "Operation Chainsaw" because they saw that Wolverine twat in Argentina, and that twat Elon and thought, "yeah, we want to be twats like that too, fuck the British, scum that they are!"
That's Labour for you.,
The perception of the UK as the land of milk and honey is getting further and fruther from the truth. For people coming to the UK they find a country that is a shadow of itself.
The UK looks after it's poor and vulnerable badly. In paricular, the UK also fails to look after it's elderly and disabled to standards that are common elsewhere.
It is shocking that a Labour government is doing something even the Tories wouldn't. What are they thinking?

Oh they've let Angela have a win, how gracious of them.
For residents of Gilead, 'sick pay' is something you get to tide you over for when you are sick. It's never usually enough, but it's more than you sad bastards probably get 
The Labor cringe in a nutshell: McFadden on Sunday per BBC. a) we believe the state can enable security and prosperity [*], b) we are not ideological. Hmmm.
[*] obviously this does not include trans folk, disabled folk or refugees.
While Toynbee's hypocrisy normally leaves me queasy 
normally, this is a reasonable question to ask. But Labour are so uncertain about what they actually stand for and are run by party autocrats for whom winning is the imprtant thing and bugger the country or even their supporters (those who have not cottoned on yet).
