How about healthcare? Not being able to see a GP? A dentist? How about 18 month waiting lists to see a specialist? Not being able to work due to ill health is a massive issue.

How about lack of housing leading to increased rent and over inflated house prices and increases mortgages?

The number one cause of mental health issues is poverty. So maybe not having had above inflation pay rises for the past 14 years could be an objective contributer to mental health issues?

Funnily, the COVID advice from the NHS "is If your child has mild symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat or mild cough, and they feel well enough, they can go to school or childcare." So now I tend to teach in a mask! We need to nomalise looking after each others health!

Having just had COVID while trying to shield a partner who is immunosuppressed, and being told "nothing you can do really... It is what it is. You just need to accept you will get ill..." By a nurse. Who is delivering the anti virals to my partner..

There was me hoping a labour "clampdown on benefits" would mean an actual living wage so that we didn't have to pay benefits to working people to prop up business' making excess profits by paying poor wages... But nooo....
