The imposition of sanctions on individuals with depression and anxiety, while disregarding medical professionals’ assessments, constitutes a form of indirect discrimination and ableism.

Depression does not discriminate, and neither should those responsible for shaping and implementing policies and support systems. Policymakers and PIP assessors must uphold principles of fairness, empathy, and inclusivity, ensuring that all individuals with disabilities receive the respect, support, and opportunities they deserve. By doing so, we move closer to a society where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can lead fulfilling and dignified lives.

Neurodiversity refers to the concept that neurological differences, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and others, are natural variations of the human brain rather than disorders that need to be cured.

Mental health disorders are complex and multifaceted conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. By fostering awareness, understanding, and support, we can dismantle stigma, promote empathy, and cultivate inclusive communities where individuals feel empowered to seek help and thrive.

Immigration is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the UK, often distorted by political rhetoric and media headlines. Yet behind every migrant is a human story shaped by war, persecution, economic collapse or the simple desire for safety and stability.

Back-to-work sanctions are an inadequate and often counterproductive method for addressing unemployment. A more effective approach involves the government taking a proactive role in job creation and supporting entrepreneurial ventures. By expanding public sector jobs, incentivizing private sector employment, and fostering an environment conducive to entrepreneurship, the government can help individuals find meaningful work and contribute to economic growth. This strategy not only addresses the immediate issue of unemployment but also lays the foundation for a more robust and resilient economy.

At present, an aspiring MP only needs a political party membership, a following, and £500 to stand for election. Unlike CEOs or professionals in the private sector, there is no requirement for qualifications in law, business, economics, or leadership. As a result, half of those elected may not be fit for the complex responsibilities of governance. If CEOs or seasoned business leaders had been tasked with managing PPE contracts, the outcome would have been drastically different. In the private sector, £10 billion wasted would mean immediate dismissal, asset recovery, and criminal investigation.

By encouraging the unemployed to learn new skills or start businesses, we can simultaneously boost the economy and improve mental health outcomes. Integrating mental health education in schools and workplaces ensures that individuals are better equipped to handle challenges and maintain their well-being.

Labour is facing the prospect of another mass rebellion from its own MPs as concerns mount over proposed reforms to the universal credit system. The focus of unease is on changes to the assessment process for disability benefits, particularly the health element of universal credit (UC).
