FFS you couldn't make it up... at the very same time that Rishi Sunak is looking to restrict eligibility for benefits for the disabled & long-term sick as an 'incentive' to get them 'back to work'.... the Work & Health Programme, that actually does that very thing has lost funding & will close in the next six months!
So with one hand he takes away financial support & tells people to do more to get into work, and then with other removes services that will help them do exactly that.
