“It’s Compassionate To Get People Back To Work” | Rishi Sunak To Cut Benefits After 12 Months 

All the billions the tories have wasted and now there taking it out on the weakest in society despicable party

The DWP has just been taken court by the U.N for violating disabled peoples rights.

All of a sudden slippery eel sunak is a expert in mental health

I’m physically disabled and unable to work and this is absolutely terrifying me. This is a full blown attack on disabled people. It’s not that we don’t want to work for fuck sake! We CAN’T!! 🥺😢 BEING DISABLED ISN’T A FUCKING LIFESTYLE CHOICE!! I DIDN’T CHOOSE THIS!

Living in the UK is miserable. It has been miserable for years. Everyone is poorer now than they were 4 years ago, you can't see a doctor, electricity and gas, fuel, food and clothes are more expensive than ever before. All because the government are utterly useless. The government have made misery a reality. For Mr Sunak to blame the most vulnerable in society is sickening.

Perhaps having this government in power for 14 years hasn’t helped people’s mental health

Being sick is not a "life style choice"! Bullying and penalising the sick and disabled is not compassionate, it is evil, striking those who are least able to respond. Appointing someone who is not their GP to judge whether they are fit is despicable.

Please sign me off work Rishi because your leadership is making me sick .

Pity Sunak didn't have the same approach towards keeping the illegal immigrants in luxury. Millions of taxpayers' money wasted each day on those who should have been deported immediately, and those he's failed to get deported or sent back to their homelands. This government makes the hardworking taxpayer sick

CALL THE ELECTION

Im sick of Tory's and this attack on the unemployed

They are depressed because they can’t afford to live!

Might help stop paying £7-£10 million pay day on illegal migrants that have no right to be here. Many people have paid into the system for years and when they need help, should receive it. The other problem is, sending people back to work with medical conditions, employers don't really like making special conditions to accommodate their needs. If someone regularly phones in to say they can't work due to flair ups in their condition, their likely to be dismissed, therefore back to square one.

Paying for immigrants is also unsustainable.

It's compassionate to get people back to work. Says the people who have never done a real day's work in their life.

I will not vote for you rishi

There’s a huge difference between people claiming long term disability benefits for issues such as depression (not easy to get, takes a lot more than a note from a GP) and those who have a job getting a sick note from the doctor. You can’t take someone in a very stressful job, struggling mentally and just say “instead of signing you off for a few weeks your employer should look at other work you can do” - that makes zero sense. Are these people too thick to differentiate between the two? Or are they just after headlines they believe sound good to pensioners?

Sunak spent 600million on Rwanda broken policy

Get the tories out

It’s compassionate to ignore someone’s suffering and instead see them as a social battery to be exploited? “Oh no this person is struggling in life and is suicidal and terribly anxious, hurry, get this person a job!!”

The Tories ; *1* Eviscerate Britain's economy. *2* Complain about unemployed people.

Absolutely unsustainable. I shouldn't be having to work and still claim Universal Credit as a top up because the job does not pay enough to cover the cost of living - sorry - surviving.

There is no compassion in this country anymore, only greed.

Has anyone checked on the Brits recently? Just to see how they are doing and if they need some help? Schools crumbling, waiting lists for healthcare through the roof, rivers and beaches being closed due to the raw sewage being pumped into them, people dying in mouldy homes, teachers killing themselves due to Ofsted inspections, leaders crashing their economy, sleaze, corruption, lies, cruelty, gaslighting, etc etc. No sense of hope, nothing being invested in or created, nothing growing or improving, everything just degrading and rotting. And in all of this all they can seem to do is punch down on people who are struggling and burning out with all of this? Whilst giving the people who are actually responsible for this a free pass just to carry on unabated? This is not normal behaviour.

They drove this Mental health crisis.

Millions spent on usless politicians and immigrates. But yet again, blaming people on benefits and struggling to find work. Rich out of touch politicians are the problem.

What the hell do Tories know about compassion.

Yes, let's get everybody back to work regardless of their illness. After all, the rich really do need to get richer and without the workforce how will they do it.

Just imagine all the money the Tories have squandered then come out with this. I've not heard the word "compassionate" so many times, it's almost like someone's trying to convince me that this appalling policy is in any way compassionate.

All this really translates to for me is: Rich old men who own businesses are panicking and struggling to find workers but fail to recognize the majority of this problem has been caused by them and their choices over the last few decades. Constantly rising house prices with buy to let markets when individuals can't even afford their own home let alone multiple, they relied on foreign workers as they could legally pay them less than the UK minimum wage which devalued the price of UK labor and resulted in pathetic wages, when staff go expecting minimum wage workers to do the job of 2/3 people because they don't want to hire anyone else... the list goes on. Anyone with even an ounce of compassion can see that while of course there are some individuals on benefits just taking the mick... the bigger problem in this country are the corrupt politicians and businesses who don't value anyone else in this country but themselves, and we've lost a lot more taxpayer money to be frank due to the under the table deals politicians regularly partake in and which continue to this day with zero accountability. Wasn't it just the other day yet another Tory MP claimed he needed 6k because 'he was in danger' when the reality was he went on a gay hookup and put himself in a compromising position to be blackmailed - why are these people still politicians is the bigger question as if this is going to continue there will be a lot more for the wealthy and politicians to worry about than people out of work to say the least.

Billions sent to Ukraine and now trying to cut Benefits. Get both parties gone.

Rishi you have all the compassion of a snake, I live in a low income random town and I am qualified for benefits, I have a sister who had a job who quit because of her mistreatment and is stressed about not being able to find proper work, all she can do is a side hustle repairing electronics and I have a friend who needs benefits because she is in a wheelchair, you absolute viper

Maybe instead of blaming people who cannot find work maybe they should blame employees who won't train out of work people

All that money spent on illegal immigrants. Instead give the money that would be used on illegal immigrants hotels, benefits, lawyer fees, food etc, to the unemployed so that they can start off their own business. Invest in the British for once

sorry sophia, if you think the people that are actually sick are getting the correct help your wrong, its clear you have absolutely no experience in the argument your talking about so you should probably keep your baseless opinions to yourself. policy director at centre for social justice, where was the justice for the over 140 THOUSAND people the Tories killed off with their last load of ''reforms'', some starving to death. go and educate yourself.

Has half of these people preaching done a physical job day in day out year after year! 😡😡

Popular in your Talk TV bubble. You are going to have a big problem in a years time when there are so many more people out of work due to AI. To be fair, if the support was there in the first place I am sure most people would prefer to be at work. Productivity is going to be a meaningless metric going forward.

What refuses ? I have 7 months no job - more 1000 jobs apply and still no job, so ?

HE ALREADY MESSED WITH TAX : POPULATION RATIO (CURRENCY : POPULATION ) . AND USED BRIBERY TO BECOME PRIME MINISTER 🥶🥶🥶

Just be honest and tell us you couldn't care less about the poor and disabled dying penniless in the streets because you don't see them as people and barely register them as a number. Seen some absolutely thoughtless takes on this. Some people are still the thugs they were towards the disabled they were on the playground

Increasing wages with reduced the benefit burden. The amount of people I know who work full time! But still have to claim working tax credits and housing benefits. Everything from food to tax has increased. But the wages have rose by the bare minimum amount. This is not new. It’s been happening for over a decade now! PAY PEOPLE MORE, especially if they are on a low income!

My son who has slight learning problems has been trying for years to find work but even though he has top grades in I.T because his English and maths grade are low no one will give him a chance

Sunak is a terrible prime minister. He's from a privileged background who doesn't know how hard it is to find work while having a disability (mental or physical) that prevents you from getting a job.

I cant believe people still use the word "work" as a blanket statement . As if all jobs are equal , some jobs are terrible for your phyiscal and mental health. Mostly due to people with terrible attitudes

Sunak isn't compassionate he's taking benefits from people who are sick. While on the same day he announced cutting stamp duty on rich people's houses.

if you use your hands and do manual work you might make a living but will never be rich

Compassionate when a lot of disabled people, decide to not live any longer like the last time.

l would like to see him have a day in my life i have multiple trauma i have not got long to life and i can't help i need so i have ask the nhs to put me to sleep

yeah we just gave £400Mill on RWANDA lolol but not sent anyone

Its very compassionate to get people into minimum wage jobs where paying for rent, utilities, toiletries, travel and food is impossible without family help

It looks like PIP is being advertised on tik tok to migrants around the world, e.g. india. Could this be the source of spiralling benefit costs?

Make work pay

I don't mind people's to get back in work, unless there well and healthy to do so ,my concern is how can some peoples have to work on 12hrs shifts a day which is horrible for health and social and family life , still not able to pay all bills end of month , its a disaster in the making. I personal think everyone , should work maximum 8 hours a day and still able to feed your family and pay the house bills also have a bit of savings .

40+ hours per week for years and years doing the same job is not good for anyone! FACT. It needs to be paid well enough for a good work/life balance no matter what job you are doing. Most people are living paycheck to paycheck though. It's like torture, running to stand still forever!

These politicians live in TV and news 📰 paper's how do they know how people are stressed oppressed with everyday things you never see a MP going to meet ordarnary people ask them about their every day struggle shame 😡

DWP taken to court for breaking human rights, Dispicable being tories being despicable.

As a disabled person who would love to work, there are many reasons I can't. Living rurally means I would have to spend £120 per day getting to and from work. That's taxi fares because public transport isn't suitable for disabled people.

I was fkn miserable at work for most of my 40 years doing it. I did it to pay my bills. But FFS I just got on with it. These poor boo boos these days make me 🤮

You can’t just look at this in isolation. Sunak and Co have made people. I’ll living in fear and in debt with bothincresing constantly. Then things are so bad they are better off on benefits than working. Vote Reform and give us a chance.

Why don't the politicians and media go out and look for work to see what its really like in a country where the only thing that makes money is parking money into property

I'm on sick I didn't choose to have chrones disease.

So...Works makes you free. Arbeit Mach Frei. I wonder who else said that?

Question to Sophia Worringer: "Why don't you go to work in a proper job? For being some deputy of some social justice club doesn't contribute one penny towards the wealth of this country. In fact, you live of tax payers money and same to Luke Hildyard. Neither of you produce anything that is of any commercial value to anyone."

I heard someone say stop all benefits 9:57 listen to it what disgusting woman .

It is a badly draught idea because Sunak is too thick to notice that exemptions of disability discrimination will make employment difficult for disabled people. He cannot force employers to employ disabled people.

I have MS. For a few years i wasn't up to it, but I've been back at work full time for 8 years. So happy to be back. When i wasn't working i felt so useless and worthless.

SUNAK CHANGED THE "" CURRENCY : POPULATION "" RATIO HE MAKING POUND STERLING WORTHLESS RIGHT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES 🥶🥶🥶

It's only good for your mental health if you earn enough for your mental health to be in a good place. If you don't get paid enough to have some kind of life outside of work then its actually horrible for your mental health because it makes you feel trapped

Plus taxes are a joke road tax, council tax, VAT, NI fuck the government whoever is in power nothing benefits the people absolutely nothing

So what happens when someone on a keyboard (just like the decision makers for the people claiming disability living allowance/PIP) decide that the person on the sick is fit enough to go back to work when in actual fact they are not fit enough. They lose their benefits and take their own lives ( just like what happened to the poor people who were knocked off disability and took their own lives. I assume these 'fit for work' decision makers are going to be medically trained to GP standard? I highly doubt it, though!

They have to be sick too and also work ?? That's disgusting, resign.

job centre in the thumbnail, never heard anyone getting a decent job at that hell hole, can't wait for the day they replace all the smug teapots at our local one with robots

Lol why would someone want to work when they're left in debt at the end of the month, income at £1250 expenses amount to £1800. Makes so much sense

You gave immigrants houses that we have to work all our life for,....

I am so depressed working, and poor.

Try going to work for the wages that do not even pay the bills. Perhaps the royals. Parliament. House of lords.. huge profits payed out in dividends. Huge bonuses. Our more tax. Introduce osterity in into there lives.

If they were serious they would introduce some form of national service to actually provide jobs for people. A lot of these people are not going to be much use on the open market. And depending on the location there often wont be jobs for them. What is the problem with getting people picking litter, cleaning graffiti, planting gardens etc etc. They could train them up at the same time and provide exercise classes or crafts etc. I know people don't like the idea of forcing people to do things but there should be no free lunch. There are genuinely able bodied people who are just being encouraged into shitty living. It is better to get people out and about doing something useful. That being said there is far more money being funnelled into the assets of the super rich than any lazy fat "depressed" person skiving off work has ever managed to leech from the taxpayer.

When theres no growth in the world, turn on your people.

One of old managers is over 50 and for this reason he said his phone never rings despite putting in regular job applications so people could be willing but if employers aren’t then you are going to have a problem.

I'm mentally disabled, this is scaring me, I'm not fit to work but it's coming across that I will be forced into working. This would be scary enough but I've spend the last six months watching multiple friends trying to find work with zero success, so what luck does a guy with sever mental health issues and a ten year plus gap in his employment?

I reckon we should all make a stand for the ill people who actually can't work. I'm pretty sure Rashi has never had depression and anxiety

Some people cant actually work! I’m not one of them but my missus is and it pains her everyday but her legs can’t even handle walking or even being sat down for too long! And another point which makes ME not want to work is the fact they work you too a age most people won’t live to so they end up having your savings (pension) because that’s what it is! My advice to anyone would be to opt out of pension scams and make ya own pension by investing in the future companies! Research and really think what’s gona innovate the world in the years to come and put your pension in to it

Please don't kid yourselves nothing will change for the better under Labour. Tony "Miranda" Blair made sure of that.

Tories did all this with Underfunded NHS Waiting lists Austerity 2 child limit PM desperate to appear he's accomplished something during his tenure. Rawanda failure Border secure failure

Uk govt should think about how to help by providing stable conditions, better jobs, apprenticeships most importantly, better health care they need to get to work. Then this new rule would be absolutely fine. So far they offer courses such as how to use a keyboard and mouse and they call it help with education. Pathetic on every level

A lot of jobs are not worth the time and effort………often people working for miserable wages while enriching the already rich bosses and directors at the top😡

You're not looking at comments there not in favour of this it's just an attack on those who are disabled when Rushi is Happy to spend billions on legal and illegal migration ,foreign students dependents all living good life on back of us taxpayers we're sick of it but he's picking on those who carnt have there say horrible nasty piece of work, politicians don't have dip into there wages all put on expenses this interviewer hasn't got clue what we're saying he's actually telling the other 2 we all agree judging by comments that we all agree should have gone to specsavers 😂

Who wants to work hard to give the government money that they fritter away on ridiculous ideas or just mistakes they shouldn't make. It is soul destroying. So, I suggest the government reap what they sow.

Perhaps they need to cut back on the amount they are giving to illegal immigrants as well. They also need to look at the way the Job Centres actually work, they do nothing to help people into work all they are interested in is how many jobs they have applied for. The Job Centre needs to be more like an employment agency

I've worked hard all my life, ran my own business.fully paid nat insurance..had a stroke, went blind,its improving.esa has stopped. No income..its insulting people who has worked hard and became ill.its not a lifestyle for alot of people...

There's no money to pay for it because they've sold off everything that's why. While they laugh all the way to the bank. Wake up people 😡

I think me and mr Sunak have a very different idea of what compassion is. Forcing a person who is ill (including mental health) into work they cant do is setting them up to fail leading to more problems. Or is this who theyre going to get out on the fields picking fruit and veg now? The sick and disabled. Maybe mr and mrs Sunak could pay tax properly or tax the very wealthy on their second homes.

It would be a good thing to get people back to work but what about the tens of thousands of immigrants who are here legally and illegally and will always live on benefits. Get rid of the unproductive immigrants and then we can tackle the benefits culture.

When you say earning money........ Average wages? Minimum wage? Do the maths..... Most people struggle every day. Savings, pension? If only. 2007 wiped that out. Austerity since 2008. Incompetent people in key positions in government. There is no welfare . There is no help for anyone with no money. We've sold everything. This is gonna be horrible........ REVOLT OR SUFFER.

If you're sick , and the government makes you go to work and you die ! Who's liable ??? The question has to be asked if it causes death who is to blame ??

The millions of people contributing via working and paying NI contributions, taxes etc, have every right to feel peed off when they see some of those on benefits working less than 16 hours a week, claiming for numerous kids, many of whom they claim are disabled in order to get a higher rate of benefits, getting either all or most of their rent paid for, and yet despite certain deductions being made to their entitlement, are getting £1,000 to £2,000 +per month paid into their bank accounts. The majority people in full and part time work, get no help whatsoever, and are expected to work well into their sixties, just so a generation ( sometimes 2 and 3 generations in one family) of feckless individuals are allowed to hid behind sick notes, used as a get out of jail (work) card , and are allowed to do so year after year.

Great, a middle-aged white male who's not been employed for too long due to not having proof of what he's capable of (creative not academic) and getting offered a zero-hours contract in a totally unrelated job (academic not creative) on minimum wage where budgeting isn't possible due to constantly fluctuating hours each week,.. and loses his benefits, roof and security. Yeah, nice one Rishi.

What we need is people to carry out PIP assessments. If you are physically disabled you get a medical assessment and an interview, and you have to provide copies of hospital records, but if you have mental health problems there is no assessment or face to face interview or a hospital records check so no wonder that people claim to have mental health problems. Every two years I have to prove unbelievably that my right leg and left arm have not grown back plus other problems, but my neighbour who is a drug addict with mental health issues does not have to prove anything. BTW It was suggested that my wife who is my carer could get a job to pay the wages for me to have a carer.

When hes vaccinated a country with a bio-weapon and wonders why sick citizens rises whal

I’d love to work. I built a business and it has been destroyed by covid, Brexit and cost of living. I’m since disabled because nhs took too long to diagnose and treat me for severe meningococcal infection. I’ve had my pip cut in half because apparently being disabled doesn’t mean I need extra assistance navigating my journey or need help communicating. I need a wheelchair and lost sense of my self dignity. I cannot sit for long due to damage in my spine. I cannot stand for long and find it difficult to drive myself and still have strength and energy to get my wheelchair out of my car. Without pip I am left with not enough money to survive and now using credit cards for deficit. I’m appealing the decision and may need to go to court. In the meantime it’s cheaper to stay in bed and eat one meal a day. If I sell my car, it will take a dent out of my credit card bill. This country is severely broken and I’ve given 31 years of my adult life contributing to. Assisted suicide will be passed in U.K. soon, like Canada. Population control by making peoples lives not worth living.
