Ronald Reagan reincarnated.
Will they ever stop being such cunts?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rishi Sunak has been accused of making mental ill health “another front in the culture wars”, as critics warned his plan to curb benefits for some with anxiety and depression was an assault on disabled people.
In a speech on welfare, the prime minister said he wanted to explore withdrawing a major cash benefit claimed by people living with mental health problems and replacing it with treatment.
Launching a review of the personal independence payment (Pip), a non-means-tested benefit helping disabled people with the extra costs of their health problems, Sunak said Britain was suffering from a “sicknote culture”.
Charities also raised the alarm about Sunak’s rhetoric on mental ill health, after the prime minister said there was a “risk of over-medicalising what are essentially the everyday worries and challenges of life” in the welfare system.
Trade unions for doctors and nurses expressed concerns about Sunak’s suggestion that there was a risk of “over-medicalising” mental health conditions, although he insisted that clinical decisions about diagnoses were always a matter for professionals.
“The prime minister’s overtures about ‘sicknote culture’ will be deeply offensive to a profession hit hard by long Covid and a spiralling mental health crisis.

Not content with trying to kill off every trans person, they now want to go after the mentally ill as well?
Can you believe this arse got voted in. /s
Not by the public.
Just by his colleagues in his own party. THEY wanted him.
Hah! Missed the /s.
Was he even elected by his party? I thought he won by default. I may be misremembering though he is the longest sitting pm this election cycle.
You are correct. When they had a choice between him and a lettuce they chose the bat shit lettuce. When she fucked up so bad and quit they gave it to him as he was runner up.
They were sorting of at the point where they were going "who the fuck else is there?"
If I remember correctly this makes our last 4 PMs
- The guy who caused brexit then immediately ran away from the consiquences
- Wish.com Trump
- A letuce with the mysterious power to kill any celebrity she shakes hands with
- The guy who lost to the letuce
You forgot about Theresa May
Ah right Thatcher 2.0
While I massively disagree with most of what she stood for, at least Thatcher was both competent, and had a spine.
