Extremely biased. He seems to be supporting the cuts in an ignorant, ageist and ableist way.

Therapy won't help my ADHD or autism. I was born with them. They're also being targeted for cuts. However, I have equipment needs that you may not think of. E.g. assistive software so I can type. Dragon alone costs £1,620 +VAT in a forced subscription model. ClaroRead is £149.99.

How interesting, an economics guy talking about people who are unwell in ways he's never experienced or understands as if they were economic units! The "equipment, other countries don't give cash, therefore just give equipment" idea is an utter fallacy, awful.

Looking at the BBC podcasts on offer reinforces why I disengaged from this cesspit

Q. Why are so many people on disability benefits for mental illness? A. Tony Blair's Labour Party decided to help poor people by giving them benefits & MH services instead of trying to change the environment with left wing policies & now the left doesn't exist ⚰️ #TakingThePIP
