Benefits Britain | Rishi Sunak To Get TOUGH On Sick Note Culture 

Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less. This man is disgusting

Government pay stoped till we the people are happy with the service they provide

Billionaire telling people who work over 45 hours a week not to take time off for their own mental health is an absolute disgrace to this country, and a prime example of the people in power who are elevated above the common man and don't have their interests at heart.

Plenty of money for wars though

Workshy government is only thing going

The main benefit he complained about was PIP. PIP is NOT a work related benefit. Plenty of people on PIP work, in fact many can only work because of the financial assistance provided.

If all else fails, go after the sick and vulnerable. What a desperate little man doing everything he can to cling onto power. The public can see through the bs.

If the government stopped foreigners coming into the country and over crowding the hospitals and doctors, Maybe patients could be seen sooner and get well sooner to return to work. Not enough NHS staff to cope with the overload plus underpaid NHS. No wonder they are leaving to work abroad. The government is to blame for this country’s problems.

There are millions on NHS waiting lists. I wonder whether there's a link between that and the number of people unable to work through sickness????

Theres literally no demographic he hasn't completely alienated. Absolutely mega cringe and disgusting.

Sunak has no idea bout mental health. He lived a luxury life since he married a billionaire's daughter. He needs to go. Get tories out

Well, he's just lost millions of more votes. 2.5 million I think.

Government needs to get its own house in order...the huge numbers of civil servants 'working' from home is an utter farce.

Get rid of the Government that persists with this....What about the MP's and Lords Wages and Perks and the Billionares? The biggest scroungers...

Money for israel, Ukraine Subsidised cafes Scrapping inheritance tax - so rich people can keep there money

Blinkered Mr. Sunak is quite probably unaware that the Unemployed or even the sick are not the cause of this problem. The DWP themselves are too lazy to even read the "Sick Notes" and therefore accept all "Sick notes" as a plea to not work. This is not the case, but a product of the DWPs own lethargy.

Start by ending 'Housing Benefit' put those work shy land Lords out to work. Bring rents down to affordable levels.

We know who these specialists are, it is the same people doing the work capability assessments. so we know the same problems that system has will be the same problems with issuing sick notes. i.e. they will not be impartial assesments, they will be unfair, looking for any excuse to not give you a sick note. The assessors who do the WCA, are simply over-riding professional medical persons like GPs. We need a better solution. If mental health is a big issue, we need to address the root causes, and not gas light people. We need genuine solutions to peoples mental health issues. Personally Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, Amen.

Benefits Britain DONT YOU MEAN Benefits MPs

I’m a pharmacist and I’m gonna change career this year. I get paid as pharmacist but I do doctor’s jobs now, no thank you. I’m not supposed to diagnose prescribe and give sick notes as a pharmacist.

A foriegner isnt going to stop all his brothers arriving by boat

We can't afford to send money to Ukraine and Israel. We can't afford to give PPE contracts to friends and family. We can't afford to give out business loans during the pandemic.

I’m NHS Keyworker (dyslexic) I was Evicted by North Ayrshire Council to A Lock up Garage @ 11am ON Lockdown day 24.03.2020 as I was at NHS dealing with an Emergency ‼️ NO HELP NO CONTACT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Polls say tory party is near death ?

Coming from one who evades tax and whose wife also evades tax.

Mr sunak is not in the real world he is in his own world

The benefits system as a budget only so much to go around, strange the ons as stated from next year they will stop publishing the ethnicity of people on benefits, is it because the immigrants coming in are going straight on pip 😮because you say I’m from Afghanistan etc , I have nightmares 😮about the war etc easy claim for benefits, so take it of the indigenous people and give it to immigrants 🙄

Rishi needs to do what he promised Stop the boats. Save money on nhs could this means more money to spend on Ilegal migrants

UK wasted £450BN on Covid 19.

Rishi Sunak's is totally ignorant to the realities on the ground! I'm waiting for a triple heart bypass, in the normal working sense I'm a car wreck. This is because of the false savings of people like Rishi Sunak's, it took 6 months to get diagnosed (limited health diagnostics services available), now having been on the waiting list for 6 months no sign of anything happening and by the time I get the operation (insufficient operational services available) I'll probably be so heart damaged the only thing I can do is medically retire due to being unfit for anything else. How many other people in this country are damaged suffering or unable to get required medical treatment because of false savings! We as a country, need a new way of thinking and governing, not this backward limited small minded governing led by Rishi Sunak's!

Tory government is indeed pursuing policies that harken back to the harsh and stigmatizing approach of the Victorian Poor Law system. Rhetoric from Sunak and ministers framing benefit claimants as "taking taxpayers for a ride" and suggesting a "duty" for disabled people to work, echoing the stigmatizing mindset of the Victorian era. This is proof that Britain has not come out of the Victorian age. Societal attitudes from that time, that blame the poor for their circumstances is ever present. There are large numbers of children and families experiencing severe material hardship and going without essentials. The Tory government is pursuing significant cuts and restrictions to welfare benefits, making it harder for people to access support. There is a clear ideological framing of benefit claimants as "dependent" and a "burden", echoing the Victorian mindset of discouraging reliance on poor relief. Proposed reforms include measures like making disability assessments more difficult, reducing automatic cash benefits, and giving the government new powers to penalize claimants. This represents a shift towards a more punitive and restrictive welfare system, similar to the workhouse model of the 19th century Poor Laws.

So the whole Government is ‘sick’. What do we do about this then? So many members of the public are absolutely ‘sick’ of the Tory Party so they must be entitled to a ‘sick’ note. I plead with the Electorate to study the very clear and positive strategy of the REFORM UK Party as to how they would address all the major issues we now face (most of which have been created by the 2 major traditional Parties over the last few decades).

He won’t, he doesn’t get tough on anything.

He's terminated he won't be back lol no way his party will win.

Its crazy how people don't see that the internet and technology is the core root of this problem

Wonder if any recent arrivals will get their benefits curtailed?

£3 trillion in debt 😮 £2.2 trillion of it added in the 13 years of a failed Tory government not one year did they show a surplus 😮 we are broke and we will all suffer it 🙄

There will be a lot more people left on the streets if you reduce or take away their benefits 😢

Of course the crackdown on benefits won’t apply to the illegal migrants, who will continue to enjoy the largesse of the British taxpayer.

It's psychopathic to go after the most vulnerable.

We need to crack down on their benefits . Because they take insane amount money from the taxpayers, 99% of them are millionaires

Revolution incoming.

The people call to an end to suck twisted tories.

Sunak as chancellor ordered all applications for PIP to be refused. Scotland introduced their own equivalent in response. A score of zero for pip could then result in a maximum score on Scottish Adult Disability Payment. The questions and the criteria are identical!

The 'specialist' who overruled thirty years of psychiatric/psychological reports on my brother in law was a member of Bannatyne's hotel workforce in Darlington

There's obviously no money left in the pot. Uk debt to gdp is 97%, so their looking for savings. I think there's some people taking the piss and can, should work and have no right to tax payers money. But, there's also others with a geniune need and much more should be done for those groups. It's going to be a tough one for the government to enforce this strategy.

Blame the unemployed and the vulnerable ......... let's forget the masses of poor quality people he's allowed to come here.

Ya, wrong there , he gets tough on the British ? But he's about to fall,that's when it's our turn 😊?

More diversion along with his smoking bill. STOP THE BOATS, SUNAK. How about clamping down on the biggest recipients of state benefits: Illegals, MP's and the RF...

What does he know about anything?

His goverments lockdown took jobs away. My hometown still hasnt recovered from the loss of buissnesses.

Dude is self elected, no one wants him as priminister. If there really was a democratic vote by the people he would be gone. We are all sick of him and his self serving party.

Coming from a man who married a billionaire and by extension is a billionaire himself who earns 300000 in interest alone before he has got out of his bed in the morning? Commanding the people of THIS country how to regulate their lives? I'm sorry but no go and commune with your fist.

divide and conquer is his game. and to distract from real issues.

How can he understand kids with autism who hve social anxiety its so wrong

This is Evil!

I work but what happens if i get deppressed and feel suicidal, will i be turned away from my gp. Sunak and his Tory chums will be ok if they suffer from stress having some hefty capital in the background

He needs to stop trying to take money from the poor and cut the money MPs claim like travel expenses money for a second home they even claim for postage pre paid envelopes i mean they earn £ 91.500 a year WTF that’s more than enough and they rinse the benefit system for all they can get so lets start there

Gaslighting again, BULLY the DISABLED, blame them for HIS fails

It’s disgusting people have put up with enough of this nasty individual and government, time to ‘GO’ .

I never thought I would say this but if I had my time again I would do the same in this country if u work all Ur adult life ,keep of drugs and don't go to prison ur thought what do get a rising retirement age and sell Ur home for nursing home fees ,where I'm from,(Falkirk) u have to pay £45 yearly to take away garden rubbish ,but half price if u don't work ,£45 for large uplift ,one free a year if u don't work ,who,s the idiots

Lol dont he get it...he has lost his his Role. He is done. Lavour will be in power soon

We want elections now and this rich school boy out

Start with the home office. Get them into the office, covid is no longer an excuse.

Here comes the demonisation , !

we need to stop paying these millionaires subsidies its redicilous

In theory if you paid those 2.5 million people an average salary of £25,000 a year each, even after 3 years you would have still have spent more tax payers money on HS2. A train line that shaves a whole 15 minutes off the already existing journey time from London central to Birmingham. A train line that fuck all people use, because the internet replaced the need for in person business meetings years ago🤣

because most benefits are computerised he takes advantage of this by continually making changes to them to cut costs and changing rules especially for people who already got jobs

With his figures he's talking about white & black people not the 80% Pakistani muslims on benefits or the illegals pouring in. Half a million out 67 million isn't going to keep his people in the lifestyle they have become used too.

Specialist - friends private company

Rishi Sunak : Work Sets You Free Sccuuummmmmmmmmmmmmy little man.

I should think so, too. As if though they haven't been doing that for years. Hence, the reason we're near to record employment.

When I was young we had to do a youth opportunities or a manpower job at slave labour or we got our bru money stopped 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

Finally someone willing to stop the people raping my income because people take time off work too easily. Don’t like Sunak but he has a point.

legacy m$m souled out presstitutes are tragic

People are sicker the wages don't pay to live good life look after self I live in car English and I not depressed fed up I have been waiting 6 months NHS results can't breath no help, help the imagrints not us joker

id be worried about the dangerous ones your going to send to the work environment that will have free range to hurt or get people killed will he take responsibility if the worst should happen

Excellent news 👍

Cut down on poorly working uk citizens so yo7 can pay illegal immigrants at a cost of 8 million a day nationwide 😂😂

This is when u give pover to devil 😈

Government need to concentrate on real affairs like stop free loading migrants issue thats where all the money is going from the tax payer stop the boats free meal ticket to uk pick on the weak vulnerable of our society says it all failed government not fit to run this country failed policies nhs at crisis point

Most people ive come across who take benefits they dont need vote tory or dont vote. This wont help himone bit

Oh he's short of money to send abroad is he. This is coming when AI and automation are going to take over Alot of jobs. 172,000 on the waiting list for mental health diagnosis and proper treatment. What a shambles.

This jumped up little rich boy telling people that there problems aint that bad is a total disgrace when do we stand? When is it enough??

About time, tough stance is what is needed. Sitting in the house isn't helping anyone. I suffered from alcohol and drug dependance for 15 years! Just sat in the house most days getting wasted. Thought about taking my own life numerous times. The government finally forced me into working for my benefits, it was the push I needed to start my journey back into society. It took at least another 4/5 years to start feeling normal again and now that I'm teetotal, in a relationship and working for a living, I'm far happier. However they need to to do far more for those who have made the effort to engage. I am struggling with debt because I still haven't been given council housing after living with my father for 40 years. My private rent is obscenely high but I had to take it too be close to my work. Housing priority should be given to the indigenous population first.

It’s ok Rishi is on his way out …..good riddance

Sunak is a whopper

This move is actually crucial. Anxiety and depression is a grey area to write people off from work and fund them with tax payers money for the rest of their life.,,

"Benefits" 50/60 years ago were to get you by between jobs... now they are paid out to live on.

UK was finished since rishi sunak became prime minister

I am going to the veterinarian for a sick note

It's a bit late now for vote winning policies, should have happened decades ago !!

He’s right, too many lazy people scrounging these days. I see many people who are able to graft and choose not too!

About damn time!!

£90 a week a lifestyle choice.... Sunak is insane !!!!!

When will Sunak get tough on the Furlough fraud? Or is that too much for him?

specialist will be an online form impossible to navigate . good luck with that! back to work you go!!!

BUT NOT ON F@KIN MIGRATION !!!!!

Uk🦍

Get them OUT .... 14 years of utter madness !!!
