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.

Just emphasises, Tory & Labour Are a uni-party.
Whoever you vote for won’t make a blind 9f business.

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

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

Re: The Chronicles of Rishi
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.

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.

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

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.

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 .....

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.
