I find this absolutely terrifying. And we all know what this means - pushing disabled people into jobs that aren’t at all suitable, by stopping their disability payments. As for the claim they’re going to increase mental health services to get the mentally ill back into work, well just read my previous posts about what NHS therapy is like. It’s worse than useless, to the extent that my therapist refused to give me real therapy, saying there’s no point in my case, and me committing suicide seems like a reasonable plan. That’s NHS therapy for you! These things are never about helping the disabled, they’re always about the economy. While those in charge live like kings.

    The level of ableism and punching down in this shithole country is ridiculous. The job market is in the shitter anyway and it doesn’t address the fact that companies don’t want to hire people with disabilities even if there were any jobs. My experience of most people here is no matter how shit their hand is they will absolutely revel in the opportunity to make someone else even worse off than they are, I’ve never known a more self hating people.
