   FFS you couldn't make it up... at the very same time that Rishi Sunak is looking to restrict eligibility for benefits for the disabled & long-term sick as an 'incentive' to get them 'back to work'.... the Work & Health Programme, that actually does that very thing has lost funding & will close in the next six months!

   So with one hand he takes away financial support & tells people to do more to get into work, and then with other removes services that will help them do exactly that.

     Yes, it's not hypocrisy at all. Brutality.

     They won't have time to do anything substantial to implement it, it's just an utterance to help fill the vacuum of actual policy.

     On the other hand, I can imagine Rachel Reeves making a note in her daybook about what a good idea this is.
