@EdwardJDavey Then why are you not fighting for those of us who cannot work due to caring responsibilities who don’t have family near who don’t have partners who’ve been unpaid caring role for over 30 years and all they have to show for it is poverty !
@EdwardJDavey Carers allowance shouldn’t be deducted from universal credit unpaid carers do so much for so little it’s unfair especially when some have left well paid jobs to care full time, no MP would get out of bed for £83 a week we shouldn’t be made to live on our knees
@Izzicat01@EdwardJDavey Not everyone is made to be a carer, you need empathy, a lot of patience , I worked in care, I’ve seen ones who are not doing it for the right reasons. They deal with vulnerable humans not stock on a shelf.
.@LewisCapaldi gave carers FREE tickets to his gig at the @O2ForumKTown last night, giving them a well-deserved break ❤️
Carmel, who's been caring for her mum for the past 10 years, told us:
"You can't underestimate what a moment like this means. I haven't had a holiday in over 10 years, but just having these moments to have joy and share the time, it's everything."
Every carer deserves a break. Thank you, Lewis, for making this one possible ❤️
Thank you @academyamg

We need to stop saying unpaid carers “don’t work.”
We do work.
The difference between a paid carer and an unpaid carer isn’t the work.
One is paid. One isn’t.
The refusal to recognise unpaid carers as workers is one of the biggest blind spots in social care.

So today’s social care announcement included… nothing for unpaid carers?
The people saving the state billions every year are still waiting.

Satnam has cared for her daughter for 23 years, and like many unpaid carers, has seen funding for short breaks and respite support available to her cut significantly.
Speaking on BBC News today, she said: "We as unpaid carers save the country almost £184 billion a year, and we do this because we love the person we support, not to hold up the system."
Unpaid carers need to see real change.
Satnam is supported through a Carers Trust local carers centre.
Unpaid carer Katy was at today's launch of the government's National Care Service plans.
She said: “the fact they're going to speed up the review on social care will be music to the ears of every unpaid carer out there”.
Unpaid carers must remain at the heart of that review.
It's almost as if stripping local authorities of their role in providing not-for-profit care homes and forcing families to hand over £70,000 a year to private equity firms hasn't worked out all that well
With Netanyahu's visit to the White House today, a reminder: US authorities should respect human rights and the rule of law. PM Netanyahu should be arrested and tried by the International Criminal Court.
Today we take a moment to remember Liverpool legend Ray Kennedy, who would've been celebrating his 75th birthday today 🤍

There is a reason Social Care is unaffordable, and you can already guess what it is.
The average amount a Social Care Worker is paid is £12.18 an hour.
The average amount the Government is charged
£22.03
It is never going to be affordable while Privatised, like so many things
