Rishi Sunak declares war in the sick, disabled and infirm.

Will remove benefits for people not taking jobs after 12 months. GPs can't decide fitness to work.

People can't see GP/Dentist. 2.7m chronically ill. 7.6m hospital appointment waiting list.

Rishi Sunak is to blame for the inability of millions to work taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/04/2… Sunak is blaming ‘sick note culture’ when his government ignores the risks from sugar, ultra-processed foods and Covid whilst increasing economic stress and extending working lives. Any increase

'The chutzpah of having crashed the economy and wrecked the NHS, and then blaming those at the sharp end is a performance of arrogance that only the most sneering Conservatives can pull off.'

My piece for i newspaper on Sunak's 'sicknote culture' speech

inews.co.uk/opinion/crash-…

BREAKING: The Government has today confirmed to me that it has granted a licence to export military aero-engines to ‘Elbit Systems Limited’ in Israel.

There are deep concerns that Elbit makes components for the drones that were used to kill three British aid workers in Gaza.

'I don't care what the doctor said, you're starting work at Nando's first thing tomorrow'

The govt systematically destroyed the NHS, created a large population with disability via exposure to COVID, and underfunding of the NHS & preventive care - took away all support from the disabled, and is now trying to force ill people into work. Can't make this shit up.

Everyday, I feel so glad I left this dystopian abelist nightmare that's out to push disabled people further and further into despair, marginalisation, poverty, and death.

You would be forgiven if you thought this Gaza 🇵🇸

It’s not. It’s Babylon in Iraq 🇮🇶

In the last 48 hrs Israel 🇮🇱 has launched air strikes on Gaza 🇵🇸 Iran 🇮🇷 Lebanon 🇱🇧 Iraq 🇮🇶 & Syria 🇸🇾

Netanyahu wants a regional war. His survival depends upon it

Six months ago, children in Gaza held a press conference in english to beg the world to stop the bombardment. Nearly 15,000 children have been killed since then. No one listened. Don’t stop talking about Gaza.

Sunak: something has gone wrong since the pandemic to increase the number of economically inactive people who are long-term sick.

Couldn't be anything to do with the way you handled the pandemic could it?
