52% of the workforce get some kind of benefit 😮that’s because government allows low wages and it topped up by tax credits, while billionaires get away with paying minimum wage 🙄
That’s exactly it!! My grandfather bought up five kids and never needed my gran to work and now you not only need two wages but benefits on top and that’s just to keep afloat! The only difference is the upper classes just take more and more without giving anything back. The biggest failure of our times.

Talking to some Romanians because wages are terrible back home (£15 a day) most immigrants i've met are working more hours than almost anyone over here would because they can live like a king/queen back home with the money they earn.
It's not for the weather getting good benefits living accommodation never had it so good find there passports when they want to go back home for a visit
Everyone hates benefits until they become poorly themselves, many people who have benefits now have worked their backsides off for years, no sit down jobs for many, those that work hard graft have more chance of illness
The worry I have is that the safety net that used to exist is being whittled away and shamelessly abused. Rather than being there to support this who have genuine needs (long term disability for example) or to give people some protection during short-term periods of hardship, for too many it has become a lifestyle choice.
I agree some might abuse the system but many are genuine and these genuine people will have a hell of a time getting help in future because of this, not just the pretenders, I'm sure every one will appreciate it if ever they become ill, remember many of these people never imagined they would become too ill to work as many have worked their backsides off in the past, many have work related illness, many would love to go back to work but can't @@andyj8977
I have PIP I’m retired and worked all of my life up until I retired. I was crippled with arthritis and emphysema and could not walk very far. I have paid into the system all my life as have the rest of my family. I don’t feel guilty.
People are fed up with their workers' rights disappearing First it was zero-hour contracts Then it was external recruiters Then it was the 'self-employed' gig economy Then their retirement age was increased Why would anyone have any pride or incentive to work anymore
This was a concern of mine (abuse of the system is still an issue),however funding illegals to live in hotels is the priority, and they have failed miserably on this . Historically Labour would be worse. I will be protest voting (Reform) as I now have no confidence either of the major parties have any desire to tackle this in any meaningful way.
The priority should be making corporations pay correct amount of Taxes. The priority be not funding wars and killing of innocent women and children. We have money to fund wars and bombs but not for junior doctors and others. Pay rise in level with inflation. The priority should be a fair wage. If your working full time have enough money to pay all your expenses. Subsidising corporations so they don't have to pay a living wage so top up with benefits. Get your priority right. I'm not saying there isn't issue immigration. But it is a drop in the ocean compared to other stuff .
@@horumdean4367Government employees are already well paid when you include all the benefits (e.g. pensions) including junior doctors. We need tax cuts and a reduction in government (central and local) waste which is rife.
Many who complain about ill people on benefits have never done a hard physical days work in their life, they have no chance of wearing themselves out, many people sitting on their backsides in high paid jobs all day, many supposedly working from home don't know what hard work is. How would you survive if you were ill and couldn't work? I don't mean pretend ill I mean genuinely ill?
did you know there is such a thing as psychological fatigue or burnout? and strangely enough it's real (i.e. it is possible for people to feel the same or more of distress/pain/suffering as they would if they were unwell with a physical illness!) crazy, I know...
That's what they want us to think 'it's all in your mind' the likes of the 'simon w's' of the world who think they can cure everything with CBT 'thinking happy thoughts' heard it all before, it's an insult and very damaging to people struggling with illness 'other than' mental health and I'm not knocking anyone with mental health as that's a horrible illness for anyone to suffer but there was a time when everything was put down to mental health, rather than admit those working their backsides off being paid peanuts actually do wear themselves out and do get ill health from the jobs they've worked in whether it's working with lots of Industrial strength chemicals or Asbestos, whatever it's real, many things do us damage and if you overuse anything it wears out eventually, hips, knees etc same as everything in life, those dishing the orders out don't over exert themselves in the workplace@@icantevenknowwhattosay
I totally agree and this is what prevents them going back into the work force and hearing this interview judging people with mental health issues does not help
95.8% of the people are in work 😊 with AI coming in and businesses to close due to high energy bills , we better get used to millions being on benefits 🙄
ai will take jobs but will also create jobs ai cant reason they can 2 and 2 but cant say why i use chat gpt to help me with my youtube channel but it cant do everything
Whose going to pay if no one is working or paying taxes? Taxing the people who are making fortunes out of the low wage economy will never happen under Labour with Starver in charge or the tories because both parties rely on the oligarchs to fund them.
The real unemployment level is much higher than what they are telling you. If you are on a zero hour contract, you are not counted as unemployed, even if you have no work. Also if you are on minimum wage, and you have work for say only 6 days, you are not counted as unemployed for the remaining three weeks of the month. Don't let the Conservatives CON you into believing there is low unemployment.
There used to be a manufacturing company called Remploy that had factories all over the country who employed disabled WW2 war veterans from 1945, then it employed disabled people up to its closure in 2006 . Every single disabled person who worked there has never found a job since it closed down. That company had different divisions that did: Electrical Assembly. Cabinet making. Bookbinding. Textiles including a big contract providing the army with combat clothing. But not one employer gave them a job because of being disabled.
The UK - Great Britain - where Disability Discrimination comes out top!!! Bravo, what a great country we are!!! Aren't you just so proud of being British??
I used to deliver Remploy products. Chairs,desks,tables,cabinets. I remember that company made lovely things. It was a terrible shame funding ceased and closed the company.
Look over there, no over there. Ffs its called division. You journalists are ridiculous. We have thousands of migrants in this country. Keep your eye on them, please. You all have a very short attention span.
You need to remember, many of these people have paid into the system for many years, it's there in case they ever need it, its meant for those that pay in not meant to be given away to new arrivals
If a couple are on benefits and going on holiday three times a year, they are defrauding the benefit's system. I am no longer able to work because, when I was working, I pushed my self too hard and now have chronic heart failure. I can't afford to go on holiday at all. Don’t let reality get in the way of your selfish assumptions. When you cut their benefits, you also cut mine.
@@davidking6617 who are you calling a racist? It’s not racist to put British population first. So you are happy with young men which most of them are coming into our country with no documentation of who they are, they could be terrorists, murderers, rapists, pedofiles, getting free housing, heating, food, clothing and spending money when we have British men, women boys and girls homeless, don’t you think we should put people who were born here first? I have worked with a lot a black, brown people and found them all to be good/nice people who haven’t asked for a hand out they have worked for money and not ponced off the state. Do you work or is the government paying you to sit on your arse?
@@davidking6617 who do you think your calling racist? I have worked with a lot of black/ brown people and alway had a good relationship with them. We have lots of British men, women, boys and girls homeless while ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS coming here given food, shelter, money, free gas and electric complaining they are not happy with it and want more. Don’t you think British born people should be put first? I have worked all my life and paid my taxes and I don’t get any hands out from the government. I bet you are one of the do Gooders who probably sit on your arse poncing off the government.
Why don’t these people scathing about job dodging, concentrate on all the migrants that get far more money and help than real people with disabilities? And as for work being the answer to help mental health? Rubbish, I can’t leave the house because of it! I wish I could AND I’ve never had help. 😡 stop demonising mental health, it’s disgusting.
As someone who has/still is dealing with mental health issues, on UC and working (granted it's part time) my two pieces of advice to help people in my situation is 1.) Please stop persisting with the regular interviews/appointments with Jobcentre as we are working but have difficult limitations. The constant stress of being scrutinised for our conditions doesn't help. 2.) Make talking therapies more readily available. Ideally in short time. Talking therapies helped me get out of a very dark place and honestly saved my life. I would recommend it to anyone with mental health problems like depression & anxiety.
How do you separate genuine claimants from the rest? I have worked for most of my life, and now with arthritis and many falls, I can't even go to the shops.
the trouble is cutting benefits will always hurt those that deserve it most because of timidity and a lack of knowledge, whilst the sods that do not, will make sure that they are unaffected.
The majority of people on benefits, don't want to be on benefits, however, the majority of millionaires/billionaires avoiding paying tax and sucking in tax payer funds plan for that and laugh all the way to the bank. Get real with this subject, people on benefits are not living the life of luxury, unlike the millionaires and billionaires swindling the tax payer, still waiting for the PPE! If the economy was better managed, fewer people would be suffering mental health issues. If the government did not starve the NHS, mental health services in particular, fewer people would need benefits because they would be receiving the appropriate treatment. I am fed up with journalists vilifying those on low income, who suffer the most when the economy is mis-managed in favour of those who take public money to line their already bulging pockets and spend it abraod. Yes, there will always be a minority who work the benefits system, but, comparatively speaking, they are less than a drop in the ocean in terms of how many millionaires and billionaires take tax payers money for they own ends
Well said tishmore. Completely correct the majority of people on benefits do not abuse the system. The people who do abuse the system are the millionaires.
@@aaronmason9332 Of course there are, but the majority of public funds being misappropriated are to those who think they are entitled, to spend small fortunes to avoid paying their fair share in tax and then, suck millions out of the public purse to buy yet another house, another car, another boat etc. Those who do work the benefits system are no better than these people, the difference being, one does it to gain millions, the other does it for a few quid
How about the £8million pound per day every day and rising, that this country is spending on immigration? Vote for change in 2024 the UK Reform party representing the people of Britain how also voted to leave Europe. Vote against the woke left wing this year the UK Reform party.
How many immigrants are on benefits compared to the indigenous population. Only 17% of Muslim men work and 2% of Muslim women, what percentage of the people on the benefits do Muslims represent. The benefits should only be for the indigenous people of this country, immigrants should not be entitled to any benefits until they have paid tax for at least 10 years
Well said. Sunak seems to conveniently forget the amount of money it takes to house and feed these Illegal immigrants who are happily sitting in hotels and new apartments at our expense. The hypocrisy of taking from the sick to facilitate those who have never paid into the system.
All of my former neighbours where I was living before were youths with a criminal record. I heard them more than once being coached by the social "workers" (not that they actually did anything resembling any form of work) on how to keep pretending looking for a job to leech more on the system. They got rent and utilities paid, plus a few hundreds a month for groceries, mobile, cigarettes (?!) and more; no employable skills, no impulse control, two of them even no literacy at all... What would they expect it to get out of it?
One of the issues is that when people are forced to claim due to a chronic condition, they're not allowed to retrain in anything that they might be able to do.
@@eliakimjosephsophia4542, maybe, but the situation that I described above had exclusively able-bodied kids < 25yo who just could not bothered with working, no matter what: one of them was finally caught red handed again stealing bikes, another one was able to evade the police running on the roofs of three different buildings (after throwing a knife to a policeman, no less!) and the rest was still functional, when not piss-drunk or too high. All "good kids" according to their carers, uh...
In my day youngsters were introduced to work ethic at a young age. I had three part-time jobs at age 13, newspaper round before school, collecting for a football charity once a fortnight, and a saturday job. Saturday jobs for them to earn some pocket money in retail doesn't exist anymore. Few parents give their children chores to do for their pocket money. At age 15 I was working full-time, and with a saturday and evening job too. If youngsters don't get the opportunities to learn young, the older they get, their less inclined to engage with the big wide world. Plus mass migration has also demoralized many Brits and in some areas they're totally outnumbered. That impacts on their psyche in a detrimental way. @@GiacomoSorbi

How about actually helping people get a job rather than suffer the humiliation of trying to apply for a job with say over 100 applicants, but the only one that gets the job is from the woke, diversity brigade because the company is forced to comply with the lefty snowflake shite agenda. So lets say when you go to do your usual 2 weekly signing or whatever it is now the job centre goes we have you this job, Its yours,. Turn up so and so at such and such then it is the persons own fault if they don't go. If they don't then cut their benefits but if the employer goes your not the right for the job then fine the Job centre gets you another one until you get a place thats for you. Also NO benefits for any illegal whatsoever.
My thoughts - there are loads of different mental health diagnoses and each one has their own unique symptoms, please do not fall into the trap of thinking mental health is only about depression it is not and your judgements do not help with people being open about their own mental health diagnoses. Going for a jog may help some but not others for many reasons that are not taken into consideration. Judging people with mental health will not get them back to work, if you are focusing your attention on this group of people you are only making your life worse by believing others are better off than yourselves, concentrate on your own life and improve your own circumstances rather than others that you think are riding the system. Also the government wants you to focus on this in order to take away the attention away from the amount of money they are giving to immigrants that have arrived in our country and have not contributed to our system and this seems to be working for the government, because I don’t hear you talking or judging about how much money is being given to immigrants who have not paid into our system. Very judgmental interviewer and guests
I get sick and tired of people moaning about people being on benefit and not working . I am 51 years old and unable too work due to Severe Mental Health issues caused by being abused as a child . I suffer from Severe Anxiety , Depression , OCD , PTSD , Flashbacks , Night Terrors and Nightmares . I get £624 a month on Disability Benefit . I wish i was healthy enough to work and would swap with someone else in a heartbeat to take on my illness and then work fulltime again . Im fed up with being classed as Lazy , Not wanting to work etc etc .

I know that sounds horrid . BUT we can't change the past. WE can only change the future. I wish you all the best but benefits ??? are they your future?
Disability Benefit is quite a lot higher than Universal credit. Gone are the days when you could be on the dole, claiming for kids you don't have or a wife that left years ago, be fair nowadays people have to use food banks to survive and if you are late for an appointment they can stop your money for up to six months. You now have to prove that you are actively seeking work or you get sanctioned(new speak for money docked). Its rough out there if you don't have a job, and only a right wing Tory would claim otherwise. Thank god I'm not on that soul destroying treadmill any more, It ain't fun I can tell you.

Really? Shucks. What about immigrants who immigrated to uk 20 30 or 40 years ago? Brought up kids and have grandkids? Maybe even worked for nhs or other job. Not allowed benefits if fall on hard times? Wow
All refugees who are granted leave to remain should start working and off welfare within 5 years. All single mothers should start going to work at least part time after the child turn 3 years old. All housing benefits on social housing should stop after 3 years.
Never mind. We can afford £8 million a day to accommodate illegal immigrants! We need a Government that can apply Common Sense. Vote for the REFORM UK.
We would never want to see those who are really genuine hurt. But sadly almost all of us know those who are frauds who know how to work the system. But also the Government need to stop those who come here in rubber boats first.
I was a nurse and worked throughout covid became ill myself i used to slag of peaple on benefits unfortunately am on them myself after working 30 years as a nurse i have a completely different opinion about it now,but i do agree that there are peaple who are abusing the system specifically peaple who have never worked at all and contributed to the system they are the peaple they need to get at 👍
Millions of men swarming the country..... recieving benefits.... My friend lost her job through jealous malicious management, she receives £76 per week....she will get back on track..... that is not luxury and an incentive not to work....a complete struggle barely enough for food.
As if *that* will restore workers' rights and force companies to close all overseas branches to hire local skilled workers... The problem began way before the mass immigration straw broke the camel's back.
there is a huge difference between being disabled and unable to work and the vast majority being able to work but refusing to do so, they get away with it because the vetting by the social work is inept and amateurish. if you dont work you dont eat that might change perceptions

To many people on benefits laughable headlines I think the present or lies about people complaining £6million pound of unclaimed benefits a year money swindled out of claimants illegal immigrants getting benefits is more like it who have never and will never pay in I
The government should make large corporations pay their workers proper wages so that the taxpayers don’t need to keep subsidising them! Most people on benefits have got a bl**dy job that’s not paying them enough money to live on!
Benefits should only be given to people who have consistently paid into the system but have fallen on hard times are ill or disabled and unable to work. If there are job vacancies to be filled and someone on benefits is fit and able then the job should go to them and if they refuse to take it - zero benefits. It should NEVER be more monetarily advantageous to receive benefits than to work.
Look up Corporate Welfare And then consider the fact that the overwhelming majority of benefits go towards: Council Tax (Tax on Existence) Rent (Landlords are Rentseekers in an economic sense) And Utility Bills (In the age of automation and renewable energy, water & electricity are damn near free, and before urbanisation back when everybody had a plot of land, everybody had a well or spring they could get free clean water from) Also, benefits being better than work is not a benefits issue - it's a *workers' rights* issue
The Govt. Should stop welfare benefits of asylum given migrants who never paid any UK taxes ever since given asylum in UK years ago. Also, why is Govt giving any benefit payments to thousands of boat migrants kept in 4 & 5 star hotels. They don't have to pay rents, for daily meals, no energy or water charges to pay, no landline or broadband or monthly direct debit bills to pay. So why give them any benefit payments at all? The Govt has placed too many people on welfare benefits by letting all big UK Businesses place all their UK Customer Service Depts abroad since 2010 Tory Ruling. Further hundreds of thousands of working class citizens sacked off their 15 to over 20 years of jobs due to and during corona lockdown Govt. Restrictions. Further hundreds of thousands sacked by supermarket chain stores all over UK as they could not pay 2022 placed Govt. minimum £10 per hour to till operator staff by keeping open from 8am till 10pm daily 6 days a week & from 10am to 4pm on Sundays. They placed self tilling by sacking 8 out of 10 till staff. Small businesses & High Street shops sacked staff as they can't afford to pay £10 per hour if opening from 9am to 6pm, 6 days a week. If Govt. throws away £8 million per day on giving VIP living in hotels to migrants from UK's tax incomes the Govt. will face shortage of tax. Use common sense to realise fact that thise who only ended as unemployed due to lockdown worked for decades & paid taxes as they did nit want to live on low benefits in poverty. In 2010 Tories threw thousands of citizens out of benefit claims. Such lot of homeless citizens would not be living & sleeping in cold & rain on streets if they could find jobs to go to.
More BS from people who have no clue about what they are talking about. What about the, they who claim child benefits when they have millions in the bank.
Remploy was shut-down and none of their disabled workers were ever hired by anyone else because of disability. 130k disabled, elderly & infirm died by the 'work capability assement' - pensions have been severely cut too. Further, 'Universal Credit' & HMRC, is crossing so many barriers in terms of privacy & data protection concerns that it would be extremely difficult to 'fob off the system'. At some point people have to realise that it's 'big government' that is the problem, who give tonnes of money to civil servants, migrants (legal & illegal), foreign aid (particularly billions to India who have their own space program).
The red tops do not tell the truth about the welfare system they do no understand how it works.If someone who is working and claiming benefits does more the the permitted hours then they loose their benefits even if it is only 15 minutes over . they will lose all their housing benefit any universal credit they were getting .then they have to reapply again but it takes several weeks in the mean time they fall behind in their rent they cannot get free prescription and their health suffers . Then the gas electric companies will install prepaid meters that cost more to use. So i ask you a question would you do any extra when this system benefits no one but low paying employers who know how it works.
About time to send them to work,Well,Sure a lot of them could easly do 16 hours a week,Something got to change,Just imagine every one on Benefits and not working,The World would be a different place,Every where be closed down,Every one be on Benefit's,I know many people who do no work,Sit in their flat all day long every day,Also be a shock to them as well if they went out to work A lot of them are not sick,Not sick enough to not work
More concerned and bothered by the billions of pounds gone missing due to ppe contracts under this tory government, pity your not up in arms about that instead of chasing the poorest and most vulnerable in this country.
Fully agree i get disability benefits due to my mental heatlh which relates to an assault but im a Universtiy student, Im actively trying to work for a better future so im not reliant on the welfare state, but its important to recognise that these "sick" people cant jump right into work, they need the support from medical professions, lets get them healthy in other words, i do this by going to CBT therepy (conative behaviour therapy) every week, others need to do the same, so they can sort their issues out and get back to work.
Disability for mental health wtf exactly why this country and it's support system is going to end because of people like I'm a head case give me wtf physical disabilities only not made up ones ffs
Wishing you all the best & well done X Hope you get all the help you need X There was a time when they tried to treat EVERY illness with CBT instead of just people with mental health illness, it might work great for people with mental health but not for people that don't have it, it was pushed far too much with every illness, it'll never cure cancer, dementia & many many more illness's but I hope it works well for you X

Realistically there isn't enough workers actually contributing, when all the in work benefits are added up, a worker needs to be on a pretty high wage before putting money in the government purse through income tax.
More and more people will be entering the mental health condition cohort from the younger generations due to family breakdown our factory farm education system, which for years has shoved children through a pointless academic curriculum which they are not suited to, but the schools are under pressure to tick boxes. Support workers for people with complex mental health issues appear to have no creative ideas, but again are pressured to tick boxes. When we begin seeing people as individuals with unique gifts and potential, the mental health of the population in this country may improve; but the ridiculous methods implemented in all of our services and institutions just shoves the problem down the road creating bigger problems in the long term.

The priority should be making corporations pay correct amount of Taxes.
The priority be not funding wars and killing of innocent women and children. We have money to fund wars and bombs but not for junior doctors and others. Pay rise in level with inflation.
The priority should be a fair wage. If your working full time have enough money to pay all your expenses. Subsidising corporations so they don't have to pay a living wage so top up with benefits.

Many who complain about ill people on benefits have never done a hard physical days work in their life, they have no chance of wearing themselves out, many people sitting on their backsides in high paid jobs all day, many supposedly working from home don't know what hard work is. How would you survive if you were ill and couldn't work? I don't mean pretend ill I mean genuinely ill?
did you know there is such a thing as psychological fatigue or burnout? and strangely enough it's real (i.e. it is possible for people to feel the same or more of distress/pain/suffering as they would if they were unwell with a physical illness!) crazy, I know...
That's what they want us to think 'it's all in your mind' the likes of the 'simon w's' of the world who think they can cure everything with CBT 'thinking happy thoughts' heard it all before, it's an insult and very damaging to people struggling with illness 'other than' mental health and I'm not knocking anyone with mental health as that's a horrible illness for anyone to suffer but there was a time when everything was put down to mental health, rather than admit those working their backsides off being paid peanuts actually do wear themselves out and do get ill health from the jobs they've worked in whether it's working with lots of Industrial strength chemicals or Asbestos, whatever it's real, many things do us damage and if you overuse anything it wears out eventually, hips, knees etc same as everything in life, those dishing the orders out don't over exert themselves in the workplace@@icantevenknowwhattosay
Im on disability benefits and i wouldn love to work again bu there way to much Discrimination against peope with actual mental health issue .
I totally agree and this is what prevents them going back into the work force and hearing this interview judging people with mental health issues does not help
95.8% of the people are in work 😊 with AI coming in and businesses to close due to high energy bills , we better get used to millions being on benefits 🙄
Unfortunately, I think AI is being underestimated.
ai will take jobs but will also create jobs ai cant reason they can 2 and 2 but cant say why i use chat gpt to help me with my youtube channel but it cant do everything
Whose going to pay if no one is working or paying taxes? Taxing the people who are making fortunes out of the low wage economy will never happen under Labour with Starver in charge or the tories because both parties rely on the oligarchs to fund them.
And it's about 95% of people don't understand the impact AI is about to have in the work force, UBI will have to be introduced soon
The real unemployment level is much higher than what they are telling you. If you are on a zero hour contract, you are not counted as unemployed, even if you have no work. Also if you are on minimum wage, and you have work for say only 6 days, you are not counted as unemployed for the remaining three weeks of the month. Don't let the Conservatives CON you into believing there is low unemployment.
There used to be a manufacturing company called Remploy that had factories all over the country who employed disabled WW2 war veterans from 1945, then it employed disabled people up to its closure in 2006 . Every single disabled person who worked there has never found a job since it closed down. That company had different divisions that did:
Electrical Assembly.
Cabinet making.
Bookbinding.
Textiles including a big contract providing the army with combat clothing.
But not one employer gave them a job because of being disabled.
Well said, was shameful that they took that away.
Then they closed so no skills or rapport in community
The UK - Great Britain - where Disability Discrimination comes out top!!! Bravo, what a great country we are!!! Aren't you just so proud of being British??
Should bring that back
I used to deliver Remploy products. Chairs,desks,tables,cabinets. I remember that company made lovely things. It was a terrible shame funding ceased and closed the company.
Look over there, no over there. Ffs its called division. You journalists are ridiculous. We have thousands of migrants in this country. Keep your eye on them, please. You all have a very short attention span.

If a couple are on benefits and going on holiday three times a year, they are defrauding the benefit's system. I am no longer able to work because, when I was working, I pushed my self too hard and now have chronic heart failure. I can't afford to go on holiday at all. Don’t let reality get in the way of your selfish assumptions. When you cut their benefits, you also cut mine.

@@davidking6617 who are you calling a racist?
It’s not racist to put British population first.
So you are happy with young men which most of them are coming into our country with no documentation of who they are, they could be terrorists, murderers, rapists, pedofiles, getting free housing, heating, food, clothing and spending money when we have British men, women boys and girls homeless, don’t you think we should put people who were born here first?
I have worked with a lot a black, brown people and found them all to be good/nice people who haven’t asked for a hand out they have worked for money and not ponced off the state.
Do you work or is the government paying you to sit on your arse?
@@davidking6617 who do you think your calling racist?

Picking on the vulnerable
@@juliemaddern As always
Why don’t these people scathing about job dodging, concentrate on all the migrants that get far more money and help than real people with disabilities? And as for work being the answer to help mental health? Rubbish, I can’t leave the house because of it! I wish I could AND I’ve never had help. 😡 stop demonising mental health, it’s disgusting.
Same thing comes out every time the torys are in trouble they pick on the poorest in society 😢
As someone who has/still is dealing with mental health issues, on UC and working (granted it's part time) my two pieces of advice to help people in my situation is 1.) Please stop persisting with the regular interviews/appointments with Jobcentre as we are working but have difficult limitations. The constant stress of being scrutinised for our conditions doesn't help. 2.) Make talking therapies more readily available. Ideally in short time. Talking therapies helped me get out of a very dark place and honestly saved my life. I would recommend it to anyone with mental health problems like depression & anxiety.
I found EMDR a life saver

What about cutting the cost of the tens of thousands of illegals that is costing us a fortune in board and lodging.
How do you separate genuine claimants from the rest? I have worked for most of my life, and now with arthritis and many falls, I can't even go to the shops.
the trouble is cutting benefits will always hurt those that deserve it most because of timidity and a lack of knowledge, whilst the sods that do not, will make sure that they are unaffected.
Cut asylum and save money
Benefits should only be paid out to people who have paid in.....fuck the rest...look after your own
The majority of people on benefits, don't want to be on benefits, however, the majority of millionaires/billionaires avoiding paying tax and sucking in tax payer funds plan for that and laugh all the way to the bank. Get real with this subject, people on benefits are not living the life of luxury, unlike the millionaires and billionaires swindling the tax payer, still waiting for the PPE! If the economy was better managed, fewer people would be suffering mental health issues. If the government did not starve the NHS, mental health services in particular, fewer people would need benefits because they would be receiving the appropriate treatment. I am fed up with journalists vilifying those on low income, who suffer the most when the economy is mis-managed in favour of those who take public money to line their already bulging pockets and spend it abraod. Yes, there will always be a minority who work the benefits system, but, comparatively speaking, they are less than a drop in the ocean in terms of how many millionaires and billionaires take tax payers money for they own ends
Well said tishmore. Completely correct the majority of people on benefits do not abuse the system. The people who do abuse the system are the millionaires.
Hear X hear X
Both as bad as each other. Con artists on both sides
@@aaronmason9332 Of course there are, but the majority of public funds being misappropriated are to those who think they are entitled, to spend small fortunes to avoid paying their fair share in tax and then, suck millions out of the public purse to buy yet another house, another car, another boat etc. Those who do work the benefits system are no better than these people, the difference being, one does it to gain millions, the other does it for a few quid
Very well said and spot on.
How about the £8million pound per day every day and rising, that this country is spending on immigration? Vote for change in 2024 the UK Reform party representing the people of Britain how also voted to leave Europe. Vote against the woke left wing this year the UK Reform party.
How many immigrants are on benefits compared to the indigenous population. Only 17% of Muslim men work and 2% of Muslim women, what percentage of the people on the benefits do Muslims represent. The benefits should only be for the indigenous people of this country, immigrants should not be entitled to any benefits until they have paid tax for at least 10 years
Well said. Sunak seems to conveniently forget the amount of money it takes to house and feed these Illegal immigrants who are happily sitting in hotels and new apartments at our expense. The hypocrisy of taking from the sick to facilitate those who have never paid into the system.

Sounds like a great idea. Problem is most on benefits already don't have enough to cover the rent or feed themselves reasonably every month.
We are bothered but immigration is in fucking crisis so we are talking about that
Exactly....just another deflect.
All of my former neighbours where I was living before were youths with a criminal record. I heard them more than once being coached by the social "workers" (not that they actually did anything resembling any form of work) on how to keep pretending looking for a job to leech more on the system.
They got rent and utilities paid, plus a few hundreds a month for groceries, mobile, cigarettes (?!) and more; no employable skills, no impulse control, two of them even no literacy at all... What would they expect it to get out of it?
One of the issues is that when people are forced to claim due to a chronic condition, they're not allowed to retrain in anything that they might be able to do.
@@eliakimjosephsophia4542, maybe, but the situation that I described above had exclusively able-bodied kids < 25yo who just could not bothered with working, no matter what: one of them was finally caught red handed again stealing bikes, another one was able to evade the police running on the roofs of three different buildings (after throwing a knife to a policeman, no less!) and the rest was still functional, when not piss-drunk or too high.
All "good kids" according to their carers, uh...
In my day youngsters were introduced to work ethic at a young age. I had three part-time jobs at age 13, newspaper round before school, collecting for a football charity once a fortnight, and a saturday job. Saturday jobs for them to earn some pocket money in retail doesn't exist anymore. Few parents give their children chores to do for their pocket money. At age 15 I was working full-time, and with a saturday and evening job too. If youngsters don't get the opportunities to learn young, the older they get, their less inclined to engage with the big wide world. Plus mass migration has also demoralized many Brits and in some areas they're totally outnumbered. That impacts on their psyche in a detrimental way. @@GiacomoSorbi

How about actually helping people get a job rather than suffer the humiliation of trying to apply for a job with say over 100 applicants, but the only one that gets the job is from the woke, diversity brigade because the company is forced to comply with the lefty snowflake shite agenda. So lets say when you go to do your usual 2 weekly signing or whatever it is now the job centre goes we have you this job, Its yours,. Turn up so and so at such and such then it is the persons own fault if they don't go. If they don't then cut their benefits but if the employer goes your not the right for the job then fine the Job centre gets you another one until you get a place thats for you. Also NO benefits for any illegal whatsoever.
My thoughts - there are loads of different mental health diagnoses and each one has their own unique symptoms, please do not fall into the trap of thinking mental health is only about depression it is not and your judgements do not help with people being open about their own mental health diagnoses. Going for a jog may help some but not others for many reasons that are not taken into consideration. Judging people with mental health will not get them back to work, if you are focusing your attention on this group of people you are only making your life worse by believing others are better off than yourselves, concentrate on your own life and improve your own circumstances rather than others that you think are riding the system.
Also the government wants you to focus on this in order to take away the attention away from the amount of money they are giving to immigrants that have arrived in our country and have not contributed to our system and this seems to be working for the government, because I don’t hear you talking or judging about how much money is being given to immigrants who have not paid into our system. Very judgmental interviewer and guests

Disability Benefit is quite a lot higher than Universal credit. Gone are the days when you could be on the dole, claiming for kids you don't have or a wife that left years ago, be fair nowadays people have to use food banks to survive and if you are late for an appointment they can stop your money for up to six months. You now have to prove that you are actively seeking work or you get sanctioned(new speak for money docked). Its rough out there if you don't have a job, and only a right wing Tory would claim otherwise. Thank god I'm not on that soul destroying treadmill any more, It ain't fun I can tell you.
8 million a day on boat people , free hoets free meals free phones free cycles free everythings send the lot back whwere they come free, solved ???
When you are better off on benefits rather than working why should people work. Wages are too low and benefits too high.

Shame ya NOT talking about the £5 million + getting spent on Illegal's each week
£8m+ per day
I agree with some people and have said it myself. The only people who should be allowed to be on benefits are people born in the UK.
Really? Shucks. What about immigrants who immigrated to uk 20 30 or 40 years ago? Brought up kids and have grandkids? Maybe even worked for nhs or other job. Not allowed benefits if fall on hard times? Wow
Or anyone, legal immigrants included, that has contributed tax and NI.
All refugees who are granted leave to remain should start working and off welfare within 5 years.
All single mothers should start going to work at least part time after the child turn 3 years old.
All housing benefits on social housing should stop after 3 years.
Single mothers already are required to work PT after child is 3 years old.
Never mind. We can afford £8 million a day to accommodate illegal immigrants! We need a Government that can apply Common Sense. Vote for the REFORM UK.
My work at the Home Office caused my mental health issues as it did to many others if you spoke out about abuse and corruption.
We would never want to see those who are really genuine hurt. But sadly almost all of us know those who are frauds who know how to work the system. But also the Government need to stop those who come here in rubber boats first.
I was a nurse and worked throughout covid became ill myself i used to slag of peaple on benefits unfortunately am on them myself after working 30 years as a nurse i have a completely different opinion about it now,but i do agree that there are peaple who are abusing the system specifically peaple who have never worked at all and contributed to the system they are the peaple they need to get at 👍

simple ship migrants back home and give the jobs to our people
how easy is that ?

To many people on benefits laughable headlines I think the present or lies about people complaining £6million pound of unclaimed benefits a year money swindled out of claimants illegal immigrants getting benefits is more like it who have never and will never pay in I
Shocking why are they not talking about immigration
The government should make large corporations pay their workers proper wages so that the taxpayers don’t need to keep subsidising them! Most people on benefits have got a bl**dy job that’s not paying them enough money to live on!
Got thousands of people registered as sick due to alcohol and drugs, there should be proper rehabilitation lasting as long as needed.
DEPRESSION ON BENEFICTS???? GO TO WORK, IT DISTRACTS!!!
look at the poor and ignore the rich who get far more benefits in kind they don't want you to know about.
Wait till Starmer comes in , that's when people will realise how muck damage benefits scroungers can cause
The people on benefits are better off in the people working. They get everything give them
You have protein juice drink, yes?
Yes I think you should suggest British should be the only one on Benefits
Benefits should only be given to people who have consistently paid into the system but have fallen on hard times are ill or disabled and unable to work. If there are job vacancies to be filled and someone on benefits is fit and able then the job should go to them and if they refuse to take it - zero benefits. It should NEVER be more monetarily advantageous to receive benefits than to work.
Look up Corporate Welfare
And then consider the fact that the overwhelming majority of benefits go towards:
Council Tax (Tax on Existence)
Rent (Landlords are Rentseekers in an economic sense)
And Utility Bills (In the age of automation and renewable energy, water & electricity are damn near free, and before urbanisation back when everybody had a plot of land, everybody had a well or spring they could get free clean water from)
Also, benefits being better than work is not a benefits issue - it's a *workers' rights* issue
The Govt. Should stop welfare benefits of asylum given migrants who never paid any UK taxes ever since given asylum in UK years ago.
Also, why is Govt giving any benefit payments to thousands of boat migrants kept in 4 & 5 star hotels. They don't have to pay rents, for daily meals, no energy or water charges to pay, no landline or broadband or monthly direct debit bills to pay. So why give them any benefit payments at all?
The Govt has placed too many people on welfare benefits by letting all big UK Businesses place all their UK Customer Service Depts abroad since 2010 Tory Ruling.
Further hundreds of thousands of working class citizens sacked off their 15 to over 20 years of jobs due to and during corona lockdown
Govt. Restrictions.
Further hundreds of thousands sacked by supermarket chain stores all over UK as they could not pay 2022 placed Govt. minimum £10 per hour to till operator staff by keeping open from 8am till 10pm daily 6 days a week & from 10am to 4pm on Sundays. They placed self tilling by sacking 8 out of 10 till staff.
Small businesses & High Street shops sacked staff as they can't afford to pay £10 per hour if opening from 9am to 6pm, 6 days a week.
If Govt. throws away £8 million per day on giving VIP living in hotels to migrants from UK's tax incomes the Govt. will face shortage of tax.
Use common sense to realise fact that thise who only ended as unemployed due to lockdown worked for decades & paid taxes as they did nit want to live on low benefits in poverty.
In 2010 Tories threw thousands of citizens out of benefit claims. Such lot of homeless citizens would not be living & sleeping in cold & rain on streets if they could find jobs to go to.
So putting more pressure on the most vulnerable people to make the rich RICHER basically. Very Rishi thing to do 💩
I know people in their 40's and 50's who haven't worked a day in their lives.
Think we all know a lot of that type. Which just shows how many fakers are abusing the system
More BS from people who have no clue about what they are talking about. What about the, they who claim child benefits when they have millions in the bank.
Remploy was shut-down and none of their disabled workers were ever hired by anyone else because of disability. 130k disabled, elderly & infirm died by the 'work capability assement' - pensions have been severely cut too. Further, 'Universal Credit' & HMRC, is crossing so many barriers in terms of privacy & data protection concerns that it would be extremely difficult to 'fob off the system'. At some point people have to realise that it's 'big government' that is the problem, who give tonnes of money to civil servants, migrants (legal & illegal), foreign aid (particularly billions to India who have their own space program).
The red tops do not tell the truth about the welfare system they do no understand how it works.If someone who is working and claiming benefits does more the the permitted hours then they loose their benefits even if it is only 15 minutes over . they will lose all their housing benefit any universal credit they were getting .then they have to reapply again but it takes several weeks in the mean time they fall behind in their rent they cannot get free prescription and their health suffers . Then the gas electric companies will install prepaid meters that cost more to use. So i ask you a question would you do any extra when this system benefits no one but low paying employers who know how it works.
About time to send them to work,Well,Sure a lot of them could easly do 16 hours a week,Something got to change,Just imagine every one on Benefits and not working,The World would be a different place,Every where be closed down,Every one be on Benefit's,I know many people who do no work,Sit in their flat all day long every day,Also be a shock to them as well if they went out to work A lot of them are not sick,Not sick enough to not work
To many foreigners on benefits thats the reality
More concerned and bothered by the billions of pounds gone missing due to ppe contracts under this tory government, pity your not up in arms about that instead of chasing the poorest and most vulnerable in this country.
Fully agree i get disability benefits due to my mental heatlh which relates to an assault but im a Universtiy student, Im actively trying to work for a better future so im not reliant on the welfare state, but its important to recognise that these "sick" people cant jump right into work, they need the support from medical professions, lets get them healthy in other words, i do this by going to CBT therepy (conative behaviour therapy) every week, others need to do the same, so they can sort their issues out and get back to work.
Disability for mental health wtf exactly why this country and it's support system is going to end because of people like I'm a head case give me wtf physical disabilities only not made up ones ffs
Wishing you all the best & well done X Hope you get all the help you need X There was a time when they tried to treat EVERY illness with CBT instead of just people with mental health illness, it might work great for people with mental health but not for people that don't have it, it was pushed far too much with every illness, it'll never cure cancer, dementia & many many more illness's but I hope it works well for you X

thank you very much, but my CBT stands for conative behaviour therapy, its not the CBT you get from weed, im a very anti-drug person@@juliemaddern
not only is that disrespectful to people with mental health, but think of all the soldiers who have been diagnosed with mental health issues due to their experience with truma, you need to think about what you have just said because you have disrespecting our armed forces and normal people who suffer with mental health
@rsvbiker4149

Too many Tories benefitting
From PPE contracts and tax evasion. Buying yachts etc etc.
AI will screw most jobs and it will only be a few years coming. We need a basic income system, we will all be better off.
Government should be checking their facebook accounts social media, you see alot frauding the benefits,
Realistically there isn't enough workers actually contributing, when all the in work benefits are added up, a worker needs to be on a pretty high wage before putting money in the government purse through income tax.
More and more people will be entering the mental health condition cohort from the younger generations due to family breakdown our factory farm education system, which for years has shoved children through a pointless academic curriculum which they are not suited to, but the schools are under pressure to tick boxes. Support workers for people with complex mental health issues appear to have no creative ideas, but again are pressured to tick boxes. When we begin seeing people as individuals with unique gifts and potential, the mental health of the population in this country may improve; but the ridiculous methods implemented in all of our services and institutions just shoves the problem down the road creating bigger problems in the long term.
Get a grip people on benefits I know a couple had 5 foreign holidays last year and several uk breaks you lot need to look at the truth 🤬🤬🤬
Just sort out the immigration system!
