While I totally agree with "#ZeroTolerance of disruptive and abusive behaviour" towards #NHSstaff, it can be harmful for vulnerable people without proper understanding and react calmly. #NHSEngland #MentalHealthMattersToAll #PTSDandAutism https://t.co/Po3yWfVLvd

Robert Jenrick is lecturing the UK on debt. The same Robert Jenrick who when at the Tory Party, along with his former colleagues, spaffed £100 billion of taxpayers money.

Another party hopping hypocrite.

Can we please pick a health secretary that isn’t bought and owned by private lobbyists?

Excercise is important to all though it is extremely difficult to get back to it while #PTSD #ComplexPTSD isn't treated. Longer untreated/unaddressed it gets harder to cope and live. #UnpaidCarer @NHS @Autism #Comorbid #TraumaInformedPractice #EMDRtherapy

Paula Vennells.
In her 7 year tenure as CEO of the Post Office she waltzed off with £5.1 Mn; around £2.2 Mn coming from performance related incentives and pension in lieu payments.
Yet postmasters/mistresses are still waiting for their compensation.

[Tax Justice UK @TaxJusticeUK]

If corporations paid ‘where they play’ not ‘where they say’, the UK would be up £13 billion a year.

It's time we ended the corporate tax scam.

Absolutely astonishing

Samantha Jones is the top health official and she is DIRECTLY benefiting from NHS and local authority ££££

That is WRONG - she must resign, this is called corruption

“Given that Reform are swamped with donation scandals right now, it is crucial that an investigation takes place to establish the facts.”

Sarah Pochin is facing pressure over a £5,000 donation from food industry millionaires:

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

NHS staff deserve respect & support for the tremendous job that they do.

But scapegoating by ‘mainstream’ politicians & the media has legitimised racism - with the active support of far right Reform UK & others.

We need unity & solidarity not division & racism.

The myth that PIP is handed out easily ignores thousands of us disabled people who are denied first time and forced to appeal.

A system that requires tribunals to correct mistakes is not a system that is easy to access.

Farage is fucked.

[Rachel A-S @Chuffin_ell]

Here’s the contradiction

35 hours of unpaid care qualifies you for £86.45

The system then assumes you can fit around 17 hours of paid work around your caring to earn up to £204.

Why does 17 hours of paid work bring in over twice as much as 35 hours of essential unpaid care?🪡

Interesting. Hope #NHSEngland is up to the speed!

@David__Osland Least we forget that the day of retirement carers allowance stops dead.. The person you are caring for is still alive (Thank God 🙏) but financially.. DEAD, Who needs euthanasia with a system like that 😱

[dee mcevoy @deeimcevoy]

@David__Osland @TheRealFbloke Absolute disgrace £86.45 a week for looking after someone for 35 hour not even £3 a hour should be the same as minimum wage is and this government don’t give one bit of shit only pays the rich

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Carers' Allowance is capped at £86 a week. Or £70,000 a year if you're a private equity firm that has bought a care home.

[Dmdav @Dmdav1]

Please support disabled people @andyburnham @labour . Disabled people are now under siege from misinformation. This is now at a level of hate crime that needs government intervention. It’s relentless, MPs like Helen Whately has spearheaded much of this misinformation

[Carers Trust @CarersTrust]

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.
