Correction: it’s actually £2.38 per hour, not £3.56. Carer’s Allowance is £83.30/week for 35 hours — which is already well below minimum wage. But most unpaid carers do far more than that. 🧵

The £83.30 per week Carer’s Allowance isn’t a wage. It’s a token. It works out to £3.56 per hour for 35 hours — and many carers give 60–100 hours a week. That’s 24/7 responsibility with no sick pay, no annual leave, no pension, and no job security 🧵

Before you vote on PIP today… Have you lived it? Have you filled in the 37-page form? Been disbelieved for smiling? Judged for walking 20 metres once? If you haven’t lived it, you have no right to make it worse. @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP @leicesterliz @UKLabour #PIP

Those that are happy with leaning ECHR forget why it exists. Remember what they did to orange protesters, pensioners and now disabled people and SEN children. You will be next if we leave.

When my daughter was ill in hospital. I was there every day. Still, DWP cut our benefits, despite me still being there caring. Months later, no money paid back. The system destroys carers who sacrifice everything. It’s cruel, broken, and unforgivable. #CaregiverStruggles #DWP
Martina Hatchwell retweeted
Here’s the evidence, not just a visitor having to stick to visiting hours but an unpaid carer at hospital providing care 12 + hours a day, staying overnight. as the hospital don’t have the staff or the skill Why is my allowance stopped @Keir_Starmer @DWPgovuk @wesstreeting
Martina Hatchwell retweeted
One day, I asked, “can you help me with her personal care”. “Sorry, we’ve got to prioritise other patients”. “Can I please get a break between 1-3”, “sorry we haven’t the staffing” Illustrating hospitals are relying on unpaid carers to be the “extra” staff member🪡
Martina Hatchwell retweeted
We can’t leave. To do so puts our relatives at significant risk. But we’re expected to remain, day after day. We don’t get a “day off” we don’t get “a lunch break”. Despite the amount of hours we do, in hospital instead of in our home, carers allowance is taken from us - why?

On 27 January 1945, Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army and the inconceivable extent of the Nazi atrocities perpetrated there came to light. Today we remember the men, women and children murdered and persecuted by the Nazis during the Holocaust. #WeRemember

On 27 January it will be 80 years since Auschwitz was liberated. Often these commemorations overlook the first group of people murdered. Niemoeller famous poem even ignores them Do you know who these people were? Will you light a candle for them? hmd.org.uk/resource/anna-…
