Comment on Sick notes to be overhauled in back-to-work drive, Liz Kendall reveals

The ideology around this is clear when you consider the government’s focus on getting people with long term mental health conditions into work, apparently without doing anything to improve mental health support.

This is the bit that I don’t get - help people improve their mental health and they’ll go back to work. That should be the Labour approach. Unfortunately, they are going the brutal Tory way and just cutting help to force people to do it. The underlying assumption must be that they consider a lot of the people impacted by this to be abusing the system. It all stinks.
