A screenshot of a news article with the headline "Nigel Farage claims UK is 'massively overdiagnosing' mental illness". The subheading reads "Reform leader claims GPs creating a 'class of victims' in elections speech." We've crossed out 'claims UK' and 'over-diagnosing' and replaced the latter with 'over-stigmatising' so the new headline reads "Nigel Farage is massively over-stigmatising mental illness". Above it is the headline, in Mind font, "Here we go again..."

Let’s be real – the facts are the real victims here. They keep being overlooked in favour of fuelling culture wars. 1/3

I've spoken to a lot of welfare advisors over the years having worked at Mind, Citizens Advice and StepChange. Strangely, none of them have ever said - we should make this harder for people and they should get less money.

NEW: Is Britain’s welfare too generous?

Most countries pay workers who lose their jobs more than half of their previous salaries.

In Britain, unemployment benefits are *12%* of the average wage
