Labour is going to win the general election and then say this doesn’t go far enough.
"Sunak said ‘something has gone wrong’ since the pandemic to increase the number of people signed off work for long-term sickness" (metro)
staring into the camera like its the fucking office
"Mr Sunak also said, if the Conservatives win the general election, those who were still out of work after 12 months after support from a work coach will have "their benefits removed entirely"." (bbc)
just fucking shoot me now i hate it here
okay logging back in for one thing:
the government now has an open call for evidence on their proposed changes.
"This call for evidence is part of a wider suite of activity to reform the fit note and will act as a prelude to a full consultation on specific policy proposals which will be launched later this year."
it's all well and good for people to say "oh just because he said it, doesn't mean it will happen", as if the government hasnt happily let disabled people die from benefit cuts, lack of social care and oh yeah FUCKING COVID. have people forgotten that? 6/10 covid deaths in the uk were disabled people and nobody cared. so don't think they won't keep making it worse for us.
please read, please share and please if youre in the uk, please consider fighting with us to stop this.
i am so tired of watching my community die.
