What's sad is that this was almost a good idea when he started off with saying he's going to get 8,500 new mental health workers to help people with mental health issues.... ...But then he had to finish with, "support people back to work.", making it clear the end goal is not to help the people with mental health issues in general but just to get them back into being cogs in the machine. Which in turn makes you wonder if these mental health workers will even have the training needed and instead, just be people determined to get a pay check if it means declaring someone fit for work even when they not that and therefore, screwing over disabled people more and more. Granted its also questionable where the fuck these mental health workers are meant to come from or why Keir thinks 8,500 will cover the whole country, but given what I just pointed out, its very clear the help will be just job coaching and not focusing on mental health at all and basically forcing people through more work capability assessments.
#uk politics#british politics#labour#keir starmer#'but work helps people' work doesnt help everyone#and the day everyone running for government acknowledges that will be a miracle day really#since we got the torys wanting to do similar shit and do vouchers in place of money#and we got labour doing this#like whose gonna tell them being told your gonna get the support you need#just so you can be forced back into work#isnt help#its just telling the people you see them as cogs to be put into the machine
