Why has Rishi Sunak announced a war against lazy Britain and it's mythical 'sick note culture'?

And why are GPs out of the decision loop?

Of course, the whole idea will be administered by his wife's family company, Infosys

He's identified the desperate as a profit source

White woman, world renowned academic, brutalised by cops in full view of video cameras and arrested. They still lied on court records about the event. Now think how often cops lie about those without similar privilege

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Frog in boiling water alert:

Who could have imagined 8 years ago that in the Trump era the Supreme Court would be considering whether a president should be above the law for assassinating opponents or ordering a military coup and that *at least* four justices might agree.

Most of us knew it was bullshit that Cruz’s dad was linked to the JFK assassination. But a lot of people believe lies, especially if they’re played as straight news in headlines. The mainstream media did some follow-up debunking stories. Not good enough. At all. 7/7

NYT and WaPo hinted in their leads that they knew Trump was lying. NYT said Trump “has repeatedly dabbled in conspiracy theories.” WaPo said Trump was “never one to shy away from discussing unsubstantiated tabloid fodder.”
Not good enough. You gave him his headline. 6/7

Dear 🇬🇧,

Your govt wants you to think we’re living in a “sicknote culture” due to laziness or GPs too eager to sign ppl off work. Don’t let them gaslight you. The truth — from experts @Lu_Hiam and Sir Michael Marmot — is that Austerity made us sick. This is the Tory legacy.
