As expected, the #longtermsick will be targeted by #Tories & 'incentivised' by a withdrawal of #benefits to 'get back to work'... this is the policy reflection of a common right-wing view that #workers are shirkers who use health as a mask for laziness.
That the sorts of rubbish jobs they'll be pushed into are a problem for health in the first place is immaterial to Tory ideologues!.
When such prejudice drives policy, its clear the Tories are conducting a #classwar.
