The spending reduction comes despite confirmation that one in five people aged 16-64 in England now have a common mental health condition.

      And some media outlets would love Streeting as PM. Like this kind of gutting of the NHS? Streeting’s your boy.

    I was barely aware they ‘funded’ mental healthcare at all, it’s been on life support for years.

    I’m on various years and years long mental health waiting lists, I’m sure they’ll get even longer if they reduce the £5 a week they bother to throw at mental healthcare.

    As if mental health care in this country isn’t already a joke. Why is this man given any power at all?

      Because his job is to scapegoat mentally ill, neurodiverse, disabled, and trans people, so his boss can continue ruining their lives without people getting mad at him.

    Increased budget, but not increased as much as everything else.

    Still pants, but less pants.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
