What are your thoughts on the Prime Ministers speech today?

I think the prime minister's speech was in three c's. Very calculated, callous and crafty. And I say this to say, as on the surface, yes, the government is having to look at the figures of the amount of people in, rather than out of work, and realizing that there are more people, there are more people than the actual budget that can carry the people who are out of work. It does not mean that they've then looked at the reasons to why. Yes, it's great to look at data, but you cannot look at it as we've seen with changing realities separately. You have to go with what is actually happening or what is going against the mental health and health abilities of the whole country. It's very sad and a very poor response to what's actually happening. And I don't think that there's any statement whatsoever so far that shows me any way forward of what help, the help this society is going to get ahead of the elections. And it's quite sad. It's really frightening. I do wonder about it before I sleep or when I wake up in the news.
