Dr Sigi Joseph says doctors suffer from burnout because they're working longer hours

Anything to do with fewer GPs and more PAs instead?

And if 1 in 3 nurses suffers from long covid, how many doctors also suffer the same? And why aren't we doing anything to protect people from catch it?

"If a multimillionaire paid 2% more in tax, they’d still be a multimillionaire. But for a disabled person losing PIP, it’s the difference between survival and destitution." A damning letter to the editor.

Tax the super-rich? Unthinkable. Cut disability support? Sensible.
A 2% wealth tax could raise £24bn, yet we're cutting disability benefits instead. Who are we protecting?

The Trump Regime has deleted DOJ guidance to businesses on complying with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

25% of Americans live with a disability.

Trump cannot delete the ADA, and he cannot delete disabled Americans. We are not going back to asylums and sanitariums.

Carla Denyer asks for a wealth tax instead of cutting support for the poor and disabled

Keir Starmer says we have proportional tax so rich already paying more

Then he suggests the Greens £80 billion borrowing is like Liz Truss, despite Starmer's Brexit costing us £100 billion a year

100% correct
SARS-CoV-2 has been let it rip. We knew in 2020 a tsunami of chronic disease was coming from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Yet, policymakers let it rip. The tsunami has come. Now policymakers don't want to pay for it. They might want to cut disability support, for example. Am I wrong?

I can’t understand it either…
Labour's Minister of State for Social Security and Disability Stephen Timms confirms

That if you're properly disabled, you will still get help

But if you're only a little bit disabled you won't get help

I'm still in shock at a Labour choosing this instead of taxing the rich, disgusting

Utterly horrifying
The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
