My friend does the @you.gov' survey every day. Yesterday she tells me it was all about Rishi's rubbish ramblings regarding Sick Notes etc. She went on to say, "it's very interesting to see over 80% of people were totally against it" ...

She added that "most people said they knew a tiny minority are wagging it but they also said that's no reason to make all sick people suffer."

At least it's nice to see some logical thinking from the public ...

The Conservative party inflicting cruelty on the vulnerable in the UK

Today the Rwanda bill passed by law.

The cruelty these MP's are inflicting on refugees and asylum seekers is... I can't think of a harsh enough word.

The amount of money spent by the Tories and no one person has gone to Rwanda yet is ridiculous. I'm angry. I am shocked. I am in hope for justice to the most vulnerable people on this planet punished by lying greedy politicians.

Having problems with my sons form tutor to the point where my son wants to change form tutors and even his friends all say same that's he's getting targeted, and today I've finally let it all off my chest directly and all I heard was excuses and huffs and puffs like he wasn't interested. Can't like every pupil so I've asked for him to have a different tutor let's hope this makes my sons life easier 💙

I agree with Sophie when she says that some of the recent proposals made by the Government regarding welfare reform do not reflect the reality on the ground for many of us with young children who are living on benefits.

I read through the proposals too, and the proposal that concerned me most was the 'Welfare package which will include further measures to crack down on fraud and remove benefits entirely from long term unemployed who don’t accept a job'.

This concerns me because of an experience that I recently had, when I was effectively forced into a job that I wasn't ready for, both mentally and physically. I was threatened with sanctions by the Job Centre, if I didn't look for work or accept it, despite the fact that I have life-long disabilities.

Forcing me into this job was counter-productive, because I didn't last long in it, and was dismissed after only just 2 weeks of being employed. Not because of any wrong doing on my behalf, but, because (according to the employer) they needed someone who could 'hit the ground running', and they just simply didn't have enough resources to train me.

I hope that the Government take situations such as mine into account (should their proposals be approved and given the go ahead) and provide employers with the tools needed to successfully employ those that have been long term unemployed, and not threaten them with sanctions or a long wait until their benefits are restored, if things between themselves and the employer don't work out, especially because in the part of the country where I live, which is the North of England, there certainly aren't 'jobs everywhere'.

PIP is for people with physical and mental disabilities. Some low income families rely on this benefits for their livelihood. Government can reform this benefits by making sure that really needy people never left out of the system.

Feeling sad to hear about this welfare reform and lot of people may go out of this benefits. Specially the disable people with young children will suffer more. Government should focus on unemployed people and get back them to the job by creating more jobs. The tax from that newly created job can fund the PIP. Obviously government should stop the fraud people who are playing with this benefits but not penalise the real disabled or mentally impaired people.

How is being forced to do a job you hate, are no good at and that pays peanuts, any good for mental health and wellbeing?

How is a menial paid job likely to lift anyone with ill health out of poverty? This has to be one of the biggest conspiracy theories of the 20th century.

It all speaks of deprivation. To force people to take work so they have no choice if they are to survive. It goes against human rights.

I watched the uncomfortable unfolding of events yesterday regarding Rishi Sunak's attack on the vulnerable people of this country and I thought I'd let the dust settle a little before making a start on any response. However I don't see the dust settling soon. As this well and truly kicks dirt high into the face of the disabled and disadvantaged.

It's a Tory war in the making.

It's waging war against the weak and unwell in society.

I've made 9 pages of notes about this one topic. That's 9 pages of notes I'd rather not have to write. It's 9 pages of notes too many.

Are poor health and poor living conditions/standards not connected? Is one not a consequence of the other and his policies aim to make matters worse? Lets not forget how many more problems are involved in daily life, living in the UK today which compound any issues vulnerable and disabled people have to deal with already, ie no GP appointments, no access to dental care, limited medical supplies, long hospital waiting lists. Is it any wonder people are already struggling due to the negative effects from all this on their physical and mental health as well as the impact on wellbeing?

Of course more people are unable to work due to poor health. Its obvious why. But don't blame us for a failing economy when there's so much more at fault with our country.

Is there even such a thing as "Sick note culture"? What I see is, record high NHS waiting lists, crippling housing costs, wide spread food and heating poverty inadequate benefit rates, stagnant wages a care system in pieces, dire mental health services and closed sure start centres.

Instead of taking responsibility for the governments appalling record Sunak chooses to attack those too sick to work. If the government really cared about getting people into work or cared about the people full stop, he would be investing in our crumbling public services increasing benefit rates to adequate levels and improving access to treatment.

Tell me where was there any compassion in what was said yesterday?

Define "Health Experts"? Explain how so called qualified medical professionals are able to assess every medical condition under the sun? If they have all the answers ought they share their findings with world leading medical experts who have been looking for cures to a multitude of illnesses for years and years yet still not found them???? Why are they not earning millions in medical research fields instead? Your GP knows you best, all medical records are to hand. Lets be frank though. Doctors act within the interests of their patients not, government orders.

Come to think of it, what I find totally incomprehensible is this notion that we have several million people out there throwing 'a sickie' from work and our doctors happen to be collaborating with them by writing their sick notes. Why would I expect anything else from the government after the last decade of disaster?

It speaks of condescension to me. We have some of the longest working hours in Europe, an increasing gig economy, with large pockets of precarious employment like zero hour contracts, and low wages, much of it due to the stripping of worker's rights and restrictions on union involvement not even legal aid any more. Even our schools are turning into exam factories manufacturing stress and mental health problems amongst a generation of youngsters who have yet to enter the job market themselves. No wonder so many of them don't want to with the prospect of debt before they've even started.

Then there's our current system of Work Capability Assessment which has seen numbers of deaths following people being cruelly stripped of any benefits they need.

Yet you can guarantee Sunak will pretend to offer carrot whilst extending the stick intended to drive them back into work with.

Meanwhile him and his ilk will continue to swan around in chauffeur driven cars (or in his case helicopters) between the office, the golf course and the country club, preaching to everyone else about the need to work harder.

For some it might help, but for the vast majority it will make their conditions worse by causing concern and uncertainty when what they really need is care and compassion. However, for some I reckon it will totally tip them over the edge and there'll most likely be no one there to catch them.

I've suspected for a long time that this government doesn't really care for the ordinary people in this country. It definitely feels to me as if there's an agenda to devalue family life. This was reinforced for me in the news a few days ago when the mother of Martyn Hett had to ask when the new law, in her son's name would finally be introduced? She's been campaigning since 2017. When indeed.

Thanks for your lack of concern Mr Sunak! thanks for you lack of understanding!!!. Get me a job I love and can do well, I can lie down for or sleep whenever the pain gets too much, that pays well and I'll gladly work.

My benefits have helped me buy pre prepared food items which means we don't starve, pay for extra heating when I'm in too much pain to move from the sofa or fighting fatigue having only just got up. They've helped us pay for fuel to stop us being housebound and streaming services when we have no other entertainment or company in our lives. I thought we were done with sitting alone in cold houses with the lights out? Are they thinking about the return of the workhouse?

I'm tired I'm cold I ache, I'm sore I'm sad I'm afraid and I'm sick of them all, and I'm not the only one. In fact, his government makes us all sick. They can't be allowed to get away with ruining the lives of the disabled people. We won't let them.

Every year, at the end of March, I look forward to receiving my Warm Home Discount. It often gets put straight onto my prepayment meter by the Government, due to my economic circumstances (i.e., being on a low income/benefits).

However, when I realized that the money wasn't put onto my meter this year, I began to make some enquiries.

The reply I got back wasn't one that I was expecting at all, as it turns out that the Government had recently changed the criteria on who receives this rebate (reply letter attached).

Apparently, people will now get the Warm Home Discount, based on the Characteristics of their property, rather than their economic circumstances.

I wonder how many more people who used to receive this payment, but also didn't get it this year were aware of this change? I only found out about the change because of the enquiries that I made with them about why I hadn't received mine as yet.

I'm sure that this change will further impact those of us who are already in fuel poverty as it is.

Providing strong academic foundation to the children in their early age are very important. Also religious, moral, manner, cultural knowledge etc will help them to be a good citizen and are more important to build their future beside their academic success. If a child gets support from home as well as from school then they will definitely do good in their exam which lead them to bright future. My children have given the right to choose their academic field which they found most interesting. My children are doing good as they like the subjects that they are studying. And if the children do good in their subjects then it will easy to get a job on that field and will be nothing left to be worried. So, parents should nurture their children with care and give them freedom to choose subject that they can build their career.

My children are worried about their future as there are lots of competition going on the job market. School have limited resources and don't have money for their private tuition. Really worried as like my children that how may I support them to build their bright future. Children often also share their experience of bad influence and peer pressure. By this they are easily diverted to social media, drugs and other bad habits.

My son is back at school on Monday, and concerns around the cost of new uniform, shoes, school trips and haircuts have started to arise again.
