Genuinely shocked at this..
UK Govt to cut benefit spending by more than £5bn a year by 2029/30. Poor/Disabled hit.
Silence on corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich.
Aligning tax on dividends and capital gains with wages, and charging national insurance on the same can create £20bn surplus.
Why hurt the poor?

Absolutely! That doctor was outrageous on the radio. How can anything be 'over' diagnosed? If its clinically indicated then it is diagnosed. End of.
A diagnosis is a diagnosis
There is not over diagnosis there is an increase in those people suffering with mental illness who need support
For someone who says he follows the evidence @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social seems to be struggling to grapple with the diagnosis here

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better?
