Mel Stride:

While I’m grateful for today’s much more open approach to mental health, there is a danger that this has gone too far.

There is a real risk now that we are labelling the normal ups and downs of human life as medical conditions which then actually serve to hold people back and, ultimately, drive up the benefit bill …

If they go to the doctor and say ‘I’m feeling rather down and bluesy’, the doctor will give them on average about seven minutes and then, on 94% of occasions, they will be signed off as not fit to carry out any work whatsoever.

On a similar note I had a flier through from some HR consultancy the other day, about a seminar on how to manage mental health absences, labelling it "the new bad back"

Ah of course, I'm sure Mel thinks it's just a case of "manning up" or "can't you just cheer up?" too.

Prick.

In other news, Sunak displays further lack of self awareness by trying to change the election campaign to be about the 2 main personalities (him and starmer) by suggesting starmer is arrogant and taking voters for granted.
