Correct. Civil lawsuits not ideal for these purposes. Much better would be a judge led public inquiry. Under instructions from Murdoch, Dacre, the Barcalays etc, this Conservative Govt wriggled out of the legislation that followed Leveson Pt 1. And then cancelled the all

🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution live with a chronic health condition or disability. Cutting people’s eligibility for benefits won't help.

The PM's speech was an irresponsible war of words on people who already aren’t getting enough support.

Rest assured that the Tory “solution” to sick notes will cost more than it will ever save, be completely ineffective, and will likely lead to loads of our tax money going to Tory Donors. At least they are consistent.

With the government claim to be cracking down on “sick note culture” I gave my opinion

Yes, there are those who play the system but to stigmatize people who would love not to be in pain, depressed or disabled?

Let’s not blame the sick for the financial woes of this country

Millions can’t get their procedures done and back to work because this govt have driven the NHS into the ground

This psychopathic govt’s solution is to remove sick pay to make their agonising wait for treatment even more insufferable

All for a few extra votes

Vile people

Why as a doctor I’m fighting NHS privatisation

The NHS is free for all, regardless of means. A US-style health system which puts profit before patients must never be allowed here.
