Fund mental health instead of Brexit adverts
PM Johnson has declared that he wants to spend £100 million on adverts to promote a no-deal Brexit. This is an unnaceptable use of public money when so much needs to be prioritised above it. We demand that the PM instead dedicates all of that money to funding mental health provision, which the government has not addressed adequately for years.
Why is this important?
There are people whose lives are suffering because they are not getting the provision they need, even though there are enough professionals that could be employed to carry out this work and also to make medications more affordable and more available.
It is unethical to spend £100 million of the public's money on advertising something that is unquestionably controversial.
