Re: Starmer’s chronicles
I dont think the Mental Health of todays "young adults" is really that much different to the rest of time.
Most have simply found its a now a great way to get out of doing things, and get some free money as well.

This was pretty much my point. It's now way too easy to use it as an excuse and way too easy to be diagnosed. (Or prescribed meds).
I'm not saying Gen Z's have it easy because the don't, but they're are a different species compared to any other, they just can't handle life.
But Mental health is the No1 reason to claim, and it's rocketed since Covid (depression / anxiety).

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
Perhaps after his first year in office, now is the time to look at Starmer's record so far. Even I thought he would do better than this.
1. The number of illegal immigrants has increased by 46% and the gangs have not been smashed. Now he's attempting to get renters to evict tenants to make accommodation for the illegal hordes. Britons lose out.
2. He has allowed Rachel from Accounts to make a tax grab of £40m at the expense of businesses and taxpayers. This has resulted in contraction in the economy as businesses are forced to make economies and employment opportunities decline. UK forecasts for growth have been reduced by half as a direct result.
3. The winter fuel allowance has been denied to many who need it, causing increased levels of poverty and reducing the ability of the people who cannot afford to lose the allowance to heat their homes in freezing weather.
4. The number of wealthy businessmen leaving the UK has increased by 157%. This 1% of people in the UK represent 24% of the economy, and does nothing other than pander to those left wing idiots who still don't grasp that our public services rely on these contributions. Jealousy reigns over common sense.
5. Mad Miliband has been allowed to pursue his stupid net zero policies, resulting in criminally expensive energy bills.
I have just realised that I don't have the time to go through the very long list of failures by Starmer's government, which also include the notorious farm tax on inheritence, lumbering the most popular councils in the south east with impossible housing targets when the north is crying out for investment, the genuinely disabled are being threatened with reductions to their pip payments when the real scroungers will be left alone, they have abandoned the WASPI women... I could go on.
I would say that in his first year, Starmer has failed completely. He still has 4 years to reverse the damage though.
Yes, I'm the eternal optimist.

Crying does not wipe £4 billion off the markets.
Political decisions might.
