Pathetic socialist journalism at i's worst. " A man with severe depression is at risk of suicide if he spills his coffee in the morning.

I have been on the receiving end of living with someone who had severe depression and to blame any one trigger shows a complete lack of any understanding of the decease.

And how the Government are to blame is a f***ing reach even by JC (same initials as Jeremy Corbyn ..just saying) standards.

The department of Work and Pensions made the decision not Cameron so it is a departmental issue and an individual error was clearly made sweet FA to do with politics or Corbyn.

How that’s pig f***ers fault is beyond me, like I said lazy socialist bollicks.

All these posts do is show your age.

Try asking someone under 30 what they think. Loads of the people that backed Corbyn are da yoof. Somewhat bizarre really given he comes from a by-gone era. Not many of you old duffers actually got their act together to join up just to put in a spoiling vote. But of course, you wouldn't know that if you only read the Daily Mail/Telegraph/Metro/Evening Standard.

Renationalisation of the railways is one close to my heart as a commuter for at least 3 hours a day. I'd be happy with anything which made the service better and/or cheaper. I have yet to see any evidence that renationalisation would do that - what exactly is Corbyn proposing? More central investment? Or does he just object to private companies making a profit from it?

Not necessarily disagreeing, just haven't yet seen a "nationalising the railways will improve things because we will..." argument laying out the proposed causes and effects.

Depends - If the coroners verdict is that it played a significant role, then its a factor. But I tend to agree with you, having suffered with clinical depression my whole adult life, that its not a factor of one thing, or even one huge thing, but a collection of the smaller things in life.

But a coroners inquest is to establish the facts of the case. And the decision of a government body should never override the decision of a qualified medical professional, when dealing with someone's individual case.

of course, this is a problem initiated by Labour, with the ATOS Fit for Work program, in which incentives were based on 'positive results', the actual number of successful appeals under this scheme pretty much suggests its a total failure.

But it has long suited governments to look like they're doing something, rather than say actually doing something (such as actual spending on mental health provision in the UK).

Left wing wally talking to himself again alert...

Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it..

Corbyn's popularity would be evenly spread between those over 30 and those under.

There are plenty of 'old duffers' that voted for him and hang on his every word.

Leave it to Bert the Nobhead from Epsom to educate us tirelessly about the evils of the right wing press... I don't take a newspaper, none of my friends or family do either... maybe we just don't like what we see and hear on BBC TV/Radio and make our own minds up?

As for paying £3 to the Labour Party.... not a chance... that would get me 12 strawberry cornetto's in Sainsbury's.
