There is no such thing as “a sick note culture.” There is a record high NHS waiting list, crippling housing costs, widespread food poverty, stagnant wages and inadequate benefit rates, a broken social care system, dire mental health services, and closed Sure Start centres.

Sunak would stop doctors from issuing ‘sick notes’ in effort to force ill people back to work.
I have a 3-part proposal:

The itinerary for this field afternoon ranges from prehistory to radical 19thc squires - something for everyone. Also, there is cake....
