would love to be true but cant see it happening getting rid of the nasty corrupt party cant come soon enough

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
 

The rumour apparently came about because some people within news organisations had seen there was an announcement from the Palace due at 6pm (turned out to be the King's health) and also that Sunak was doing the Sunday political shows and put it together. Obviously incorrectly because the Palace doesn't announce elections but there you go.

A defection. Good start to the weekend.

Dr Dan Poulter describes the Tories as “a nationalist party of the right”.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
 

Why somebody working in the NHS would support this rabble in the first place is a mystery. Still at least he got it right in the end.

Just emphasises, Tory & Labour Are a uni-party.

Whoever you vote for won’t make a blind 9f business.

Fair play if he is standing down at the next election and seems to work shifts in the NHS. Gives legitimacy to him.

If he was going to contest the seat for Labour you would be more cynical.

I'm sure there's a lot of people getting anxious and depressed right now with Rishi's latest assault on benefits.

The good news is they’ll be out on their ear before they could ever legislate for it. The bad news is Labour might actually implement a slightly watered down version.

Playing to their electoral base ones suspects as there are 1.9m people on mental health wait lists awaiting treatment in a collapsed mental health system while overloaded and underfunded social care turns away huge numbers of desperate people with considerable needs

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
 

I agree Cleo ;)

They thought PIP would reduce costs but they've increased. Maybe the question they should be asking is why there is such a big mental health issue in this country, and why so few and able to get any treatment? Couldn't be that they've run the NHS into the ground and such services no longer exist? If so, its a false economy and they'll have to pay up. Treat the cause not the symptom and that might genuinely save money.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
 

Is there ? or is it just a lot of people claiming everything as "mental health".

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
 

I think they're blaming the GenZs types as reported earlier. They are now deemed too lazy and don't want to work as it's too much effort. That or they think they are too clever to work as it's not worth it. So they just spend 5 mins with a GP and get signed off with depression and anxiety.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
 

Good job it's not the sixties/seventies when you got benefits for six months, then had to work for thirteen weeks before you were entitled to any benefits.

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
 

Attacking the disabled sums this Govt up. A last desperate act.

Let all the multi milionare tax dodgers off of course. In fact, make them knights of the realm if they can donate enough to the cause.

You know, I really don't like this Govt. Don't know if I've mentioned it .....

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
 

Today we had stigmatising the disabled, arguing with Ireland about immigration, arguing with France about immigration. I was only waiting on arguing with Argentina over the sovereignty of Las Malvinas and it’d have been a full house on my Tory bullshit bingo card.
