Let’s see what it is in October and November when benefit and public sector pension increases aren’t based on it.Interesting that inflation is now down to below target, with underlying raw materials actually deflating. The interest rate rises will be credited for addressing inflation but it is highly debatable what impact they've had if any, they have purely served to make most people worse off and reduce the amount of disposable income available to spend in the real economy.
Yep, below 1.30 now at Morrisons in Leam. Can't remember last time I saw petrol that cheap.Fuel the biggest impact I think
I'm sharing this again, because it's ominous. Anyone who's had any recent experience of mental health provision in this country will know it's on its knees.
Instead of pressuring seriously ill people (and trust me, if you've been admitted into a hospital with a mental health issue these days, you're *seriously* ill) into discussions with 'job advisers', Labour should focus immediately on resolving the underlying issues.
The service is in crisis, right now, and all you're getting from a supposedly centre left government is... well fuck all, really. Reform blah, blah, blah, and this from a Health Secretary who took £175,000 in donations from private health providers.
Let's be honest, it's not a surprise. Kendall and Reeves et al voted with the Tories on their welfare bill way back when, and they're still singing the same song now they're in power. Punish the poorest, spare the richest.
"Labour" my arse, the leadership of this party is anything but.
Mental health patients could get job coach visits, says minister
Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall says trials of the idea have produced "dramatic results".www.bbc.co.uk
But not gas electric, strange don't you think or they take it too far trying to wring everything out Which I think we're seeing the first signs of?Fuel the biggest impact I think
Well, the borderline between genius and insanity is a very narrow one.Like a puppet on a string isn’t he? No idea what he’s actually mad about but read he must be mad so mad he is. Starmer has broken so many brains.
That is good stuff. Blocks the nicotine receptors so you can smoke like a chimney but get no effect. Worked for me many years ago.The equivalent is Champix. It acts on the want for smoking like Ozempic acts on the want for eating (and drugs).

However, if you think it is acceptable for government ministers and a police force to bow to the will of a jumped up singer’s jumped up mother and provide an unprecedented level of security despite their own risk assessment deeming it unnecessary, then it is your sanity that should be questioned. If there HAD been any risk, it would more likely to have impacted those attending the concerts than the performer.

It promotes satiety in a similar way to protein and certain fats.My understanding of Ozempic is similar. It’s why the complaints are mental. You’re literally helping people eat less. Fast food companies are worried for their profits if this takes off. It’s not “eat what you like and stay thin” it’s “fatty food makes me feel ill and I get full quicker”. I suspect the drive for drug use is a similar sense of “satisfaction” that’s missing chemically and that’s why it works well there too.
That’s some precedent that’s been set. Is Harry still pursuing the withdrawal of his protection through the courts?Yes. It’s acceptable to spend £500k to get the biggest artist in the world to play a concert worth an estimated £1bn to the economy. It’s literally ministers jobs to do this sort of thing. If you think they should have cancelled the concert instead then you’re loopy and would have been on here banging on about Labour denying growth or whatever instead.
come on man you’re better than this. It’s a total nonsense story and a bellwether for whether you should be allowed to read media on your own quite frankly.
Not certain it was a bluff tbh seeing as the London shows started less than a week after thisIt would have been Swift who cancelled the concerts and she would have suffered a significant monetary and reputational loss in doing so, They were bluffing.
I am well aware of the completely different situation in ViennaNot certain it was a bluff tbh seeing as the London shows started less than a week after this
Taylor Swift Vienna concerts cancelled after attack threat
The cancellations follow the arrest of two people suspected of planning attacks.www.bbc.co.uk
I'm sure somebody from A4E are whoever gets the gig will sort them outIf the trials show improvements in mental health, what’s the issue?
The people I know with serious MH related problems need all the support they can get not to be left to rot TBH.

Why is the obesity rate in France nearly a third of that in the UK?
Or a frog I'd wager?Not many calories in a snail.
Fuck knows what the policy is? Sounds a bit like stigmatising the severely mentally ill for not working. Usually these sorts of interventions are for the long term unemployed where there is potentially an employability issue. Are A4E going to cure the person's mental illness?What do you think this policy is? Or do you just fundamentally not believe in supporting people out if work on principle?
Agreed. One thing everyone needs is a reason to get out of bed in the morning (i.e. a purpose) and it is often the case that those who have MH issues are having everything compounded by being reliant on the welfare state.If the trials show improvements in mental health, what’s the issue?

It’s one of those policy ideas that looks bad but if the data shows outcomes have improved - that’s all that actually matters.
Have you got Malc's login today?It’s also that these people often need basic help in things like how to explain their condition to employers or what kind of work they could do with their condition.
Knowing people who have severe mental health issues the ones that have been helped into work or just helped full stop do a lot better than the student bollocks being spouted here of “just leave them alone maaaan”
If it's about health improvement then why is it the work and pensions secretary announcing it?I do like arguing with myself, but on this topic I agree with @shmmeee.
People with physical conditions are helped back to work, if those with mental health issues aren’t then that seems wrong.
In my case my insomnia has gotten so bad it’s not safe to be doing the work I need to do while the medication does what it does. Long term if that doesn’t work I’ll be out of a job for MH reasons so some extra help in explaining that to other employers is something I might need to take up.It’s also that these people often need basic help in things like how to explain their condition to employers or what kind of work they could do with their condition.

Just in general.Not sure if this sick burn is aimed at me or the UK economy
It’s about work support for people with MH issues. If we had housing policy I’d expect the Housing Minister to announce it. You’re scrabbling around here. I think everyone agrees that if this was some Crapita goon coming in to seriously ill people and telling them to stop moping everyone would be against it. But it’s a trialled policy specifically around interviewing and CV techniques, that has been shown to work so is being rolled out.
I’m neurodivergent and have suffered from two mental health conditions my entire adulthood. There are techniques to know in how to present (and frankly whether to present) and how to handle questions in interviews around for example hospital stays or losing jobs because of your condition that help you find work.
There’s no penalty here afaict, no punishment for not working, just support.
