Yeah cant see this happening, the oil companies won’t like it one bit.
It does beg the question though.
The UK currently has over a million vacancies. That’s goods and services not being produced leading to a shortage of supply which is driving wage busting inflation.
If we aren’t going to allow immigrants in to do those jobs, and we’re not going to make more of our unemployed do those jobs… Then who will do those jobs?
If we don’t fill the vacancies somehow then supply won’t increase, inflation won’t drop and we’ll all end up collectively poorer.
Voters are vocal they want the cost of living crisis to end and they want better services… so somebody has to work those jobs to achieve those goals, right?
What’s the accepted solution?
You forgot the part about Tory’s turning patients into dog food once they’re dead. 😅

This makes no sense to me, who’s going to assess whether you are capable of going to work or not. Will it be delegated to specialists? Will you be able to self certify for long to account for delays? Sounds bonkers.
Great! I won’t have to do as many star jumps to keep warm or get a new kettle next winter.
Anyone else finding that line between the actual news and satire becoming ever more blurry

Sunak is seen telling an audience: “I managed to start changing the funding formulas to make sure that areas like this are getting the funding that they deserve, because we inherited a bunch of formulas from the Labour Party that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas … that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.”
His comments came in a video published on Friday by the New Statesman magazine, which it said was filmed on July 29 at a meeting of Conservative Party members in Tunbridge Wells, a relatively affluent area in south east England.
A friend and I used to joke about aristocrats throwing peasants on the fire to keep warm. I feel like we’re not far off.
You can rely on good ol rishi to solve everything but the actual problems we have.
Sounds crazy, but honestly I think its a larger problem than we think. Ive only been working for 7-8 years, in my first job there was a guy who was off sick for nearly a year. Full pay for 6 months and then half pay for another 5. He claimed he was stressed, had anxiety etc. People who knew him well however suspected he was lying. He would be posting happy pics on his insta of him on holiday whilst long term signed off for mental health. I guess being ill doesnt mean you cant go on holiday exactly but it didnt feel right at all. He even moved to another city which is what they eventually managed to dismiss him on. Not that he didnt try and fight for the right to WFH ignoring the fact that the job was a physical technician role with the only desktop work being to use emails. This was a government job so the taxpayer was footing this bill.
My new job, a woman with ten years experience, new child, talks a lot about how she wants to leave the UK, signed off with “stress” for 6 months full pay and then when its reduced to half pay quits and leaves the country.
This title is obviously complete nonsense, but I see nothing but criticism for this policy on reddit.
I think this will actually be very popular in reality. Not sure what that says about reddit or reality, but I think a lot of people are unhappy with the idea of tax money going towards people feigning sickness to avoid work.
Rishi, nobody expects you to be an actual prime minister for the next few months. Just run down the fucking clock.
I can see it now:
Patient: ‘I’m so depressed, I’m considering killing myself’
Serco employee: ‘Have you tried reading this self help booklet?’
Tories…..always spot an opportunity, that’s the entrepreneurial spirit that this great Nation requires to get back to the top where we belong !
I can see that being an actual headline policy from the cretin.
