To be finding the Labour government really hard on my mental health (ironically given Wes Streeting's latest)

Why can't they talk about reforms and improvements without having a go at ordinary people?

Is mental illness over diagnosed (as Streeting claims) or is modern life just really really shit and a lot of us are unwell as a result?

im currently waiting to see a new private psychiatrist because my old one took on an NHS contract and now is totally unusable (no need to even mention the NHS services available, we all know the score there). I work and I don't expect any special treatment but it would be nice if the bloody government stopped slagging me off for trying to remain functional.

They can’t not do anything about the outrageously bloated public spending because it upsets individuals.

What other policy do you think government should steer clear of because it may upset individuals?
