"Not An Appropriate Thing For Our Prime Minister To Say!" Rishi Sunak Calls UK 'Sick Note Britain'
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2024
- GPs will soon be stripped of the ability to sign people off work as part of a major government initiative to crack down on ‘sicknote culture’.
Rishi Sunak today claimed that a surge in people signed off sick with mental health conditions is placing ‘unsustainable’ pressure on the welfare budget.
Delivering a speech on welfare reform, the Prime Minister said people should avoid ‘over-medicalising the everyday challenges and worries of life,’ pointing the finger at people struggling with depression and anxiety.
Mr Sunak said ‘something has gone wrong’ since the pandemic to increase the number of people signed off work for long-term sickness, especially those with mental health conditions.
TalkTV's Ian Collins is joined by behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings. who says kids need to be taught the difference between mental health issues and “normal stress and anxiety.”
Jo says: “There aren’t the resources out there to explain it to people, so they feel they can’t work when they probably could.”

We're all sick: of the Tories!!!!!
+All politicians too!!!
Preach 🙌
Sick of the government...more corrupt than the mafia.
Ofcourse any reason for you to stay on the sick, naturally
a man who has never worked in his life telling people to work even if sick
He is working he is running our country
Before he was managing our country's money.before that he was working in his mum's chemist
Oh he's worked mate. Don't let the jealousy eat at you.
You be quite on this or U-tube will give you a ban lmao.. Now get to work and work longer and you're not going to get your pension until you're 72 yrs old and you will pay more TAX. i KNOW AS DOES THE PM you have money, now hand it over or Sunak will send the boys round to knee cap you..
@@aaroninglthe fact you think anyone would be so petty they'd be jealous of that man, he's private school through and through and has likely never gotten his hands dirty once let alone know what a blister is 😑
He has worked harder in his life than you have. You are just hating on him because you'll never be as rich as him.
Rishi needs a SICK NOTE from the Nation.
He’s where he is because he doesn’t abuse the fit note system. Just suggesting that makes you sound like you’re a regular on parking on sick note culture
He wants to look at his own people who sneak in on boats that right rishi sunak parents were migrants in uk
@@paulnew8745 His own people come into this country seeking work and have the privelege therefore of paying taxes. Those from the indian subcontinent are coming in the droves to do work that the Europeans have been doing since the EU formation that the caucasian british population shirk from. Now because of Brexit, the fantastically highly skilled, hardworking and conscientous Europeans have left in the droves back to Europe, who takes their place ? The British still don't want to do these jobs even though they were so mad at their european cousins for grabbing all their jobs. Therefore to fill these vacancies those from the Indian subcontinet are now grabbing them. As a consequence instead of having more caucasians in Britain, there are far more Asians coming in because of Brexit. Those who voted out for Brexit were certainly very short sighted. I recall some of my friends from India who voted out as well. I thought that was very curious that they did. their rationale for doing so was because if the Europeans left, then more Indians could come in to take their place. I guess that's why somer people are more successful because they are not short sighted. the look at longterm implications of their actions. Also if you audit the asylum seekers/ illegal immigrants coming in, you will find the majority are from middle eastern, sub saharan regions where terrorist activity is rife. While some of them open small eating bussiness, the local benefits population will have to share their benefits pot with them.
not our PM
Agree, he's playing dress-up PM
It's just a game to him, such people DO NOT UNDERSTAND Constant STRUGGLE, NOT being able to put On the heating during Winter, only buying JUST Enough food, Child care costs NOT an Option.

Billionaire PM going after the poor and disabled yet again when he and his family just got BP oil licences.
Yep, my niece has been off sick for years.
She’s never worked a day in her life, she gets completely stressed out at the idea of having to go to interviews, so uses that as an excuse not to apply for jobs.
She’s paid more than someone in a minimum wage full time job.
There is nothing wrong with her, she is playing the system and is open about it with the family.
I guess she’s one of the “vulnerable“ parasites that need protection. 😂

@@stephenchappell7512These are the people he is talking about. The system is clearly being abused and when it isn't being abused we are too busy telling people that life is supposed to be easy. We've lost our ability to endure the hard times that inevitably come in life, it need to change. The reason you can't get a Dr appointment is because they are too busy prescribing anti depressants to people that get a bit nervousness on public transport or are upset after a break up. We do have a looming mental health crisis in this country but it is because people that genuinly need the help can't access it because proffesionals are too bsuy syphoning through the idiots that keep self refering for b.s instead of just cracking on. Also because we keep confusing kids with the gender identity nonsense.
@@mrnumba154the only reason you can't get a Dr's appointment in my area is because there is immigrant after immigrant constantly filling in applications to join, as they have just arrived, you go in to reception quew is out the door when you finally get in, there is a room full of non English patients and another say 5 new ones asking for help to fill a joining form in, and us waiting to see a Dr have to stand and wait and wait to just let them know you are here for your appointment, this has been going on for years and is getting worse by the day! You never see any white British in there as they have probably give up going like I have! No sick note culture going on in my GP! It is a case of immigrants taking over! Whom by the way are never asked to find work they are left alone they have no rent to pay they get every benefit going! They are taking people of the sick to pay for these people who will never be asked to work because they play on "they don't understand" 🤷.... Before blaming your own countrymen look into the immigrants in every single town, ask why all your councils are bankrupt!! Because immigrants are pushhing everything to the limits, NHS has had to accept thousands and thousands of knew people weekly for how long, of course it is bound to buckle....
I agree apart from your last point..we should be pumping as much oil as possible..
We have 17% of the UK Population waiting for NHS Treatment. 17% of 67 Million is 11.3 Million. The same Figure that the Sickness Level has Increased By.

Well, I don't know about anyone else in the comments, but my gas bill last December certainly gave me anxiety. People all around the country are struggling.
we've had a pandemic, we've got inflation at an all-time high and our economy is slowly crashing - of course there is anxiety, as well as depression! And we can't just say
"people need to have a stiff upper lip" "they're just having a bad day" when this has been going on for years!
People are having a bad life!
Of course Rishi Sunak wouldn't understand that because people like him have only gotten richer these last few years, by profiting off the publics woes that his government has caused.
Hear! Hear!

Out of control anxiety is a terrible thing, I am 60 years old and had never been ill but 2 years ago I developed panic attacks and thought I was dying every day for 6 months, I had to be medicated i couldn't even stand up without roaring blood pressure. Luckily I had a fantastic Irish doctor who recognised what ws wrong with me straight away and was successfully treated, am well now and looking for a job, mental health cannot be diagnosed by anyone other than a Doctor.
Glad you had a decent doctor. Mine have always been useless. When I first experienced a panic attack I did not know what it was. Panic attacks are truly awful and can impair your ability to function normally i.e. work. Good Luck to you 💟
@@louiseosaur Thankyou, sorry you did not have such a good Doctor.
@@louiseosaur a lot of male doctors don't comprehend menopause, he sent me for a diagnosis, first they said I was depressed, I replied, I wasn't. Then they said I was bereaved, and I told them that I wasn't. I didn't go back again, useless professionals trained in academia. I was menopausal and it was playing havoc with my mind and body.
Hi my mum is a similar age and suffers from what you say daily. Her doctor has not diagnosed anything may I ask what your doctor diagnosed so I can maybe help my mum?
@@damianconnor1783 unless this Irish doctor is seriously trauma informed and knows a cure that no one else does since curing trauma is mostly an inner job, I don’t believe this fella.

Tories: Cuts funding for healthcare for 14 years.
People: become sick due to no longer having access to healthcare.

@@royboy565 since I can remember people want to be a victim of something rather than making the changes needed to get on and solve their own problems.
The NHS consumes more than 11% of
the nation’s income and has over it’s life time seen real terms spending increase by around 3.5% per year. How much more of the economy should it get? We need more defence spending, better police, education is in urgent need of funds. The state now spends 46p in every pound in the economy produces, how much more tax are you going to pay?
So is the PM suggesting that GP's are en masse fraudulently signing people off of work? Or is saying that the illnesses are real but he wants to make them work anyway to save a few quid so he can sent it to ukraine?
Because to me thats the implication.
Nah he wants us to work ourselves to death to pay for the new arrivals that are here for the freebies , you know the rubber boat people.
Couldn’t of put it better mate
no pay for the migrants benefits
Had me right up until the Ukraine point. By far, the most money this country has to find, is the amount used to replace the taxes that massive companies, selling us a product that used to be a national service, don’t pay.
Yes that is the implication and it is a massive gaffe. Apparently GPs are trained enough to diagnose and prescribe but the decision whether someone is fit or unfit for work needs to be passed off to a new team of people. It's absurd and I am beyond belief he is actually trying to roll this out in an election year.
Voting Rishi is a real concern for mental health
Mental health is becoming a concern for the whole country. Its flawed system
@chiragshetty4608 The difference between mental health and mental I'll health is vast .
I'm speaking from experience.
we will vote for you🤣🤣
Creating an unecessary extra department, with inadequately qualified staff, wasting more money.
Feeling down and a bit of anxiety is normal ,clinical depression and anxiety disorders are mental illnesses and they're gonna penalise the people who can't work.
Absolutely and who have caused all this depression and mental health and anxiety him and this government get them out or this country will be finished
The people that genuinely can't work can still visit their GP for their condition and can still get medication if necessary.
@@mrnumba154
That would be the same people who drive our buses, train's & delivery vans, who carry out building, electric & gas work in our streets & homes, who work in our shops, offices, factories & on our land, people who fly out planes, have access to heavy machinery & dangerous chemicals ... All forced back into work, back into stress situations, where thier anxiety is heightened, were they can quickly & easily become overwhelmed, confused, where they begin to make poor choices, where they begin to shut down, panic & isolate in order to try & cope. Every single day untill they can no longer manage & they break... It has the potential to cause a catastrophic incident with the consequences not being forced onto the government but to the public, to us, our families, our communities
BUT at least they got a prescription for the medication they need but can't afford to pay for 🤨🤬
You can't explain it to someone so ignorant which proves the point I was making, they just don't get it.
The life has been syphoned out a lot of people, even when working they can't make ends meet, food & utility bills and look at child care costs now too, things have went BONKERS MENTAL and people STRUGGLE, two working parents can struggle, we have foodbanks for a reason.
Look at Lady Mone, she was already rich with a rich husband and yet during Covid she turned opportunist like some others and chased EVEN MORE, all the MILLIONS they have YET they STILL WANT MORE!
They aint chasing her with much enthusiasm are they, USUAL!
£2.5 billion sent to ukraine this year alone, £67 million sent to palestine.... thats just two countries. maybe stop giving aid to proxy wars
Amen 🙏
Pumped money into the welfare system..... Tell me again why there is £23 billion in unclaimed bemefits then. It seems pointless for ut too be " Pumped into " unless it's going to start actually going to those who have clearly fallen through the safety net and do not claim at all. Question, if the DWP know have these figures, surely there should be some kind of automatic enrolment system that would overhaul claimants not claiming because of stigma or what have you? I've never really understood why it isn't the DWP's responsibility to make sure our own citizens get exactly what they are entitled to? But, let me guess, the unclaimed benefits are being paid to Tory MP's in the guise of bonuses. Tell you what, why have eating disorders went up ten fold here? Especially in kids. 1.5 million kids have eating disorders and nothing is even dome about it by the government or NHS. Being sent home because they are not malnourished enough..... absolute madness. It's about high time that the government and DWP stop accusing people of not claiming when in fact they don't want people to claim or they'd take up the idea of automatically enrolling every person of age who isn't working/worling for low pay into the system. That way no one goes unclaimed or unchecked in terms of their social security. It's an absolute atrocity that this island puts illegals before any of our own and remember, most brits are only one last paycheck away from being in that same situation. Come on eh! This is supposed to Great Britain. Doesn't look so great with the particular issues i just raised. It's a disgrace to us. It's a disgrace to our people. It's an international disgrace coming to think of it. How any other country around the world take our government seriously is beyond me. Finland even managed to sort out the homeless problem they suffered. But No, No! The " supposed " Great Britain can't even match little old Finland in terms of that issue. Let alone help our most vulnerable. Absolutely pathetic when you take into consideration that we are supposed to be a 1st world island. More like the pits of the sewers.
I realize I may have raised some eyebrows with that one but the government has raised more than eyebrows with the stunts they have pulled. They have raised hell!
I have to agree, DWP definitely don't want people claiming the benefits they're eligible for, they do everything in their power to deny one's eligibility. That's why so many people who have their claim denied don't bother contesting it, or else they end up going to tribunal (which costs the govt more money!).
It's not just sickness benefit either, this happens across all benefit areas (PIP, DLA, the Working Tax Credit portion of Universal Credit, etc).
Spot on!
This is a man who as private health care and happy to give to migrants
His government use migrants as a shield to deflect from their own incompetence.
Look into his Mrs background, do some real digging, GREED can't be satisfied.
THEY STILL WANT MORE!!!
And every Tom, Dick and Harry who come from czech, Romanian, spain, Italy. They got the husband working there while they taking advantage of the benefits system here. Sunak u need to look in that and STOP them.

How can this despicable government be allowed to ride roughshod over this countrys vunerable and get away with it
They've been doing it since the very word "Go!" 14 years ago and STILL the public votes them back in!
@@arabellacox That is because many wealthy people benefit from their policies.

How much money does he get paid from taxpayers money and what does he do for us?
but he wants to cut down on benefits and disability? Most people on benefit and disability are poor. People working poor Too lol not enough money with inflation
The way they’re talking about it like they’ve become millionaires on the benefits system.😐
If he wants to cut down on benefits, he needs to actually start helping people I’m sure there’s loads of people that wouldn’t want to just sit on benefits or just sit on medication. They need to make the effort to help people.
And stopping someone’s benefit randomly without support is evil

Sick note ? Idk about you but who can get a g.p appointment to even see a doctor
It gone wrong because there more people struggling with money and it creates stress
A clinical anxiety disorder has the potential to wreck a person’s quality of life. Trust me. I’ve had it along with panic attacks and depression since December 1985. I’ve tried to kill myself twice and have been addicted to diazepam for 30 years. I’m a carer for my wife but haven’t been in paid employment since 1994. Believe me when I say that nobody would choose this life. It’s demoralising relying on benefits.
I would love to go back to work. 2 years to see a specialist. Then nothing for another 2 years because there’s no services. Took 3 suicide hospitalisations to even clock on the mental health radar and still get messed around and left for over a year without an appointment.

I'm sorry you are suffering. You have brought up an important point. Just hearing Wishy Rishi's threat to pull the figurative carpet from beneath your feet is enough to tip you overboard and raise the distress levels through the roof.
Lol Rishi doesn't care.
None of them in parliament care about anyone other than themselves.
The only way you can get one of these politicians to care about someone with your condition is if they care about someone with your condition.

It's not "just a bit anxious."
Clinical anxiety is crippling to the point of becoming agoraphobic.
Especially for those of us who are also neurodivergent.

Of course, there are those who will play the system, but the majority of people on any of the sickness related benefits are genuine and literally have to jump through hoops ( figuratively speaking) to prove their illness or disability.

Because it is not sustainable. And because many ARE just faking it. And because the problem is growing fast. Because it is too easy too take advantage of the system. Because many think they are ill when they are just a bit stressed and worried. Because too many just don't want to go to the job centre. Because having a job may actually help them, and the economy, a reason to getup etc. All of which is in the whole speech and Q/A session.
How was it a woeful handling of - you said it - "pandemic"?
I suppose in essence I'm really asking what would you have done differently at the circumstances we had at the time (not now obviously!)?🤔
@@scienceevolves4417 Stayed completely open and just request those at risk to stay home and offer furlough to them ONLY. Allow the virus to naturally spread through the population. You probably get similar rates of transmission and also your economy doesn't get obliterated. BUT because the media portrayed covid like it was the death flu everyone thought it was correct to go on lockdown. Completely incompetent.
The doctors issue the sick notes, do they do it over the phone now, Because they do not see people. \ If you have never suffered anxiety and the way it affects your daily life you should NOT be critical. How can you work when your body shakes visibly from top to bottom, or you vomit every time you have to speak
They are not a doctor
Precisely! Doctors are medically trained.
What an absolute W⚓️

These two don't have a clue that feeling a bit anxious and down is extremely far from depression and anxiety. Anxiety and panic attacks are incredibly disabling, they are a true mental illness. Practically telling someone to get a grip and get out there and work is an absolute insult and discriminating. I know a guy who suffers with anxiety and depression and it's ruined his life. Do these idiots believe that he is choosing to be like he is? Anxiety and depression are persistently there every minute of the day, not just a shallow one off thing every other month.
Get a grip
I think, with one or two exceptions like Andrew Bridgen, parliament seems rotten to the core.
He is no exception.
Some children have been overmedicated from decades ago, I remember campaigning against children being given Prozac in the 90s.
Sick of all the imports getting free handouts!
Don't worry Braverman will sort it all out after she gets back from cuddling up to NetNutYayhoo.
Tell me you've been had without telling me...
Ahh yes I remember when my workplace had us all working during a plague and didn't pay sick pay so we all just had to keep coming to work and making everyone else sick.
System working as intended.
Working during a plague 🤣 was all utter BS! - The Tories partied with confidence.
"Gosh!!! Why are therir so many sick people??" 1) Lack of mental health provision, 2) Covid19 and Long Covid, 3) The largest waiting lists in history, 4) People too poor to afford real food, 5) Overworked. 6) Can't get a doctor's appointment.
What Sunak done since he’s been in Parliament he just as well as stated home indoor having benefits. because all he’s done he’s wasted taxpayers money
Basically the GP's refuse to lie and say people are fit to work when they aren't so Risky Sadsack is giving the job to others who will no doubt have a quota to fill. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Having learnt absolutely nothing from the last time they tried this (lots of people who are too disabled to work got their benefits cut and died)
Evidence?
@@mrnumba154where were you at the time, still in primary school? There were many instances in the papers and on the news. Many many people who got their benefits cut (or denied altogether) took their cases to tribunal and WON. What does that tell you?
@@mrnumba154where were you at the time, primary school?! Many many people who got their sickness benefit cut (or stopped altogether) took their cases to tribunal and WON (at an enormous cost to the govt - first for the 'bonus' they had to pay the organisation (DWP/Capita etc) that "found" the claimant "capable" of going back to work, and secondly the costs of the tribunal). What does that tell you?!
@gypsygem9395 It tells me that we have a system that is overwhelmed with fake claiments and people that ARE able to work the unfortunate consequences ce of which is that people who are genuine are views with suspicion or are not properly assessed due to the work load of the staff. 17. 1 million days off work missed due to stress, anxiety and depression in 1 year, thst accounts for half of all sick days. 8.6 million people on anti depressents, 86 million anti depressent prescriptions issued in one year, 500,000 of which were give to people under the age of 18. This is completely unsustainable, especially for a welfare state with a publicly funded healthcare system.
Ok these people join the Workforce. Problem the Country is in Recession. People have got No Spare Cash. Shops are struggling and Closing and Companies are cutting back or going to the Wall. All the Migrants both legal and illegal working as Cheap Labour. Where are All the Jobs coming from.
Very good point. Which ultimately will lead people to claim Universal Credit/Jobseekers instead of Sickness Benefit
If they managed the economy and living conditions more fairly then there would be less of a problem
I despise Sunak. The worst PM since the conservatives got into government again. Why is he still there, the absolute wally.
O was suffering with mental exhaustion because of working really long hours for a year! This turned into anxiety and depression and could not go back to work for 3 months! I was struggling with my mental so badly, I even overdosed! I find Sunaks choice of words disgusting!
What's this "OUR"?!?
I didn't vote him in.
General Election NOW!
Going after the people of Britain like this, makes you realise Rishi has a few bets on at the bookies, and he's just making sure he wins.....
He only have money for Ukrainian and Israel war but he don’t have money for his country people
It's in his bank account.
Since austerity they've been trying to kill the vulnerable off.
He’s right, too many lazy people scrounging these days. I see many people who are able to graft and choose not too because they know the next sick pay check is coming through
So how well do you understand macro economics?
For the capitalism ladder to work it needs a social floor and the more comprehensive that floor is the better the ladder works. All this does is further crater economic growth
Got money for wars and supplying weapons but not for disabled people and why do mps claim extra expenses with their salaries so high.
Sunak is unqualified to talk about mental health. His journey through life has been a smooth one (top Public School, top UK university, top US university, marriage to a wealthy woman, Etc). Fortune has shone upon him and, for him, success has bred success. He has never experienced failure or spiralling mental ill health. He does not know and cannot understand what mental ill health can do to a person.
I know of people off on disability who can take 2 cases each go to Heathrow, fly to Orlando, go to hire car, go to villa, go out for food, go to Disney world each day. If they can do this why can’t they work?
Also they can afford Lou ge upgrade at Heathrow and premium economy for all the family a minivan and villa hire for a month, and do this every year, and have two or three holidays per year.
If they can go to Disney world for a month why can’t they work§,,!!!!!!
What a mickey mouse comment.
she made some good valid points. A doctor should make these decisions otherwise you might as well just get a ticket at a supermarket to apply. which is practically the system now as she points out. A complete stranger acting as a gp with no knowledge of their meical history makes this decision in the span of a 5 minute conversation. I also feel bad companies, bad management and poor pay play a part in some people getting depressed at work. Zero hour contracts should be banned. Recruitment agencies should be regulated. Workers should get more rights. That would reduce the numbers by 600,00 already.
Sick & cons & fraud & corrupt tories party from top to bottom
I totally agree with her. Not him, but her.
I think you will find it's not a biological female...
yeh he is a "kcirp" spelled backwards
Some people might be working if they weren’t on such long nhs waiting list for a operation tories out of tch and hopefully out of govt soon
We've lost our desire to contribute, our willingness to sacrifice and our ability to endure. That is the problem. We can't afford to have a publicly funded health care system if huge swathes of the population are 1. Taking up GP appointments that they don't need 2. Not working therefore not contributing through taxes and 3. Claiming sick benefits that they don't qualify for. It is simply unsustainable.
People would be happy to work if 1. their work was satisfying, and 2. their wages were high and kept up with inflation. As it stands, people are not respected in their jobs. They are seen as replaceable cogs in the machine, so why should they make any effort to bring value to their workplaces?
Perhaps we seriously need to look at assisted dying. I use to be against it, but now i am getting older i would rather die than live a life where i was a burden to the state, and if the cost of social care is so high. , assisted dying would free up housing, nhs care and disability benefit payments. This should ease alot of the problems.
I've got a shock for you I've fery serious mental health issues but my mind is sou d and I've said if assisted dying legal in our country I'd do it I fontwznt go fs like this I shudder to think if another five years like I am I've got a informal DNROI told it verbally to everyone involved in my care as its horondous, bpd autism, severe depression GAD ,patonia I've got all of these conditions
Rather be sick note than plain SICK in the head like Sunak is.!!
Mental Health is too big a concept for the NHS to fund. Everyone nowadays has ‘mental health’ issues when really it’s just normal life stresses
Nonsense
@@candyman5912 good argument
@@lilyrose7624 A poor argument deserves a poor response
@@candyman5912 pathetic. Rishi acknowledges the genuine cases but you can’t deny the fact as a whole, we’re a very lazy country. I work in the public sector …everyone including me is lazy. 80% civil servants refuse to come into the office. HMRC left 10 million unanswered calls last yr. Civil servants have a job for life, a pension that is better than we would ever see in the private sector. The number of civil servants earning over £100K has doubled over last few yrs. Civil service is too big, too overpaid and full of good for nothing lazy staff
@@lilyrose7624everybody is jumping on the mental health bandwagon now coz they know it cannot be proven. Surely sitting in and looking at 4 walls everyday isn't good for mental health.
No, he was right. Someone had to say it. I work in the NHS occupational health department and it's ridiculous what staff take sickness leave for. The genuinely sick ones don't get the leave. Staff go off just cos they can't balance both work and daily life or because they have work pressure. Mental health support should start at home. Stop blaming the system for everything.
Donkey
Personal anecdotes are proof of nothing. I know a bloke down the pub etc etc
@@royboy565it's not personal anecdote. It's experience and trends you notice after being in a specialty for years. Brits have to someday come to terms with it. Hardly anyone goes to university. Every job is under shortage occupation list. All people want to do is either live on benefits or be on sickness leave or go on holidays.
@@bglr2783Of course it's a personal anecdote. If not show me the statistics or proof to back up your story. I could say the exact opposite. Where I worked very very few people were off sick. Ones own experience isn't proof of a nationwide trend.
@@royboy56511 Million sick notes in a year! My place of work is exactly how this person described.
The ones that know how to work the system never get caught
They can afford to pay the welfare, they just don't want to. They've always got billions to give to other countries and NGOs.
They want to lose 😂
How many millions each day for hotels for the boat people but he keeps trying to push a ridiculous Rwandan plan
My wife suffers with fibromyalgia. Chronic fatigue syndrome and has been through chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer. Which has left her unable to do much at all. This government wants to push her back to work. Sunak needs a reality check. Stop spending so much on migrants and concentrate on your own people. This country has gone to hell
A tactic to distract from the fact that he has failed to stop the boats.
Its not a sick note culture
So many home grown british people are being discriminated againt at colleges universities but illegal immigrants come over and get money services houses etc for free no wonder peoe are getting depressed and giving up
DWP calls Sick Notes ' Fit notes ' nowadays
We the Brits has to go to work to pay for the immigrants
