12/ Instead of blaming individuals, how about we focus on:
✅ The real reasons people are struggling—poverty, insecurity, overstretched services.
✅ Why people have to jump through endless hoops just to access basic mental health support.
✅ Is this a truly evidenced based policy making?

7/ The UK spends 20.6% of GDP on social provisions less than the top 5 OECD countries, who spend 29.1%.
- The UK's incapacity benefits spending (inc mental health) is ⬇️ OECD average
- The UK is 1 of only 4 countries to have seen a significant decline in welfare generosity over the past 40 years.

Hi Rae, I came to the inaugural event in Cambridge, I remember seeing you! I also went to the first Weaving Trust events, but have lost touch a bit since... Time to reconnect!
