Hunt said at the #NastyParty conference today: “Since the pandemic, things have been going in the wrong direction. Whilst companies struggle to find workers, around 100,000 people are leaving the labour force every year for a life on benefits. As part of that we will look at the way the sanctions regime works. It is a fundamental matter of fairness. Those who won’t even look for work do not deserve the same benefits as people trying hard to do the right thing.”

Who would have thought more and more people are too sick to work as we are living in a mass disabling event whilst the hegemonic narrative by the state, media and so many people is that the pandemic is “over” to the point you can't even pay for a vaccine in the UK and masks are a distant memory for many, even healthcare workers. Then we have the gaslighting and ignoring the reality of #LongCovid and how many people have this and will continue to become ill, too ill to work, because of said "post pandemic" BS. Instead this is used to add to the divide and rule, cut the already unliveable social security payments and sanction people whilst bringing in psychologists that tell you its all in your head.
