About the PM's (Sunak's) speech: Stop demonising us

I hope that in all this talk of a "changed Labour" that Starmer has the humility to recognise that he won with far fewer votes than Corbyn lost with in 2017 and 2019. A third fewer in fact compares to 2017.
A lot of people who were angry with the way we have been impoverished voted not for Labour, but for Reform, preaumably in the misguided belief that they offered hope of real change as Corbyn did. Starmer failed to acknowledge their desperation and chase instead the Tory vote, which he in the main did not end up getting as Labour's vote share decreased overall.
If he wants people to vote Labour in future not Reform, he needs to recognise why Corbyn was so popular and stop all this nonsense about how he lost the people, because on the numbers, he was far more popular than you Kier.

That's a shame Stride still there, hoping he will go. Labour won here.

Perhaps we should remind Labour that even if Reform won 4 million votes, there are what, 7 million disabled people in this country? That's almost twice as many potential voters.

"The shadow work and pensions secretary, Liz Kendall, said the party would recruit 8,500 more mental health workers and promised that the sickness benefits bill would fall under Labour."
im not opposed to this because any kind of help would be greatly appreciated, but I hope they don't try this one size fits all approach when it comes to MH. MH is very complex and not everyone responds to help the same way.
I guess we will just have to wait and see…

I've had over 20 years of NHS mental healthcare but I'm still ill. Some of us have lifelong mental distress and not all of us have a neat lable for it, mine is as a result of years of childhood trauma. I don't have a mental illness, I'm just very broken. So my official label if you can call it that is dysthymia with anxiety, a quick google would suggest this to be a mild problem but it's really not. I worry greatly that I would be in the firing line under any attacks on MH.

I just looked it up it said long lasting disorder so that says it all its nit going away and alongside with therapy support your always going to have this disorder some people don't have support so seeing you been around mental health for 20 years says alot
