People with depression or anxiety could lose sickness benefits, says UK minister

Ah yes. Let’s make people’s already troubled lives worse.

That’ll surely solve problems and not create more.

They know that suppressing disability benefits will cause excess death, they just don't care.

It doesn't matter to them if their decisions drive vulnerable people to destitution or even suicide, so long as they can feed a few extra bodies into the gears to pump their numbers.

People with mental health conditions and other disabilities need support that the health and social care services can't provide because the government have spent over a decade cutting them.

Instead we get thinly veiled eugenics, a cynical revival of social Darwinism.
