Do you think Labour's pre-budget announcement and carers charities patting themselves on the back re carers cliff edge is nothing but a piss-take, given it will not be introduced until 2030/31 ? mmmm any news on carers allowance for those caring 24/7?
Not a win guys a damp squid why aren’t they addressing the fact it isn’t for another 4 years
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Carers will no longer lose their entire Carer's Allowance award if they go over the weekly earnings limit 📣👏
Under the planned change, payments would reduce by £1 for every £1 earned above the limit, replacing the current rule that can leave carers losing their whole award for earning just 1p too much.
Contact, alongside our parent carer campaigners, have long called for this change to help families balance paid work with caring.
A huge win for our parent carer campaigners 👏
Carers UK missing the bit re not until2030/31 🙄
6 in 10 carers who faced issues working while claiming Carer’s Allowance said it affected their ability to work. 4 in 10 said they’d left work because of it.
Removing the earnings limit cliff edge is a major breakthrough after years of campaigning.

2031 ? Some fuckers having a laugh may as well say the usual fuck all for carers in the budget
That was a waste of your time recording that video, Martin . 2031 is disgraceful & taxing a carer on the very little they receive & who are saving the Govt billions is a slap in the face to carers . The piss take outcry of #WeValueOurCarers xitter.cf/MartinSLewis/status/21…

Disability News Service has investigated animations circulating on social media that portray PIP claimants as fraudsters.
Some have attracted hundreds of thousands of views.
Meanwhile, disabled creators are left challenging the same misinformation again and again.
PIP is not an unemployment benefit. People can work and receive it.
Criticising welfare policy is legitimate. Spreading misleading stereotypes about disabled people is something else entirely.
Social media platforms need to take their responsibilities seriously.

Serious piece of pond life posting this what makes people think this is funny ? It’s abhorrent and @Helen_Whately and other politicians and some parts of the media are responsible for this …

This is why disabled people fear going into hospital
A 37-year-old man with a severe muscle-wasting disease has been trapped in a hospital for more than 13 months because of a dispute over his care.
Ravi Mehta has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and used to receive NHS funding that allowed him to hire his own carers and to live at home.
Now that has been taken away from him, and he is threatened with being put in a care home.

Sainsbury's has posted an annual profit of £1.02bn.
It current has 10,000 young people working for free, paid by you.
With £1.02bn it could hire 105,905 people aged 18-20 for 16 hours a week all year.
Why not MAKE the scumbags hire instead of giving them free workers?
