Our statement on the sad death of Frank Field:

Frank was a steadfast, highly successful and diligent campaigner against child poverty. It is largely down to Frank that we have child benefit today – a truly towering achievement.

Frank was a steadfast, highly successful and diligent campaigner against child poverty.

He was a true champion for children and low-income families and will be greatly missed.

Our deep sympathy and condolences to those closest to him.

#UnpaidCarers , Tell me why are you not worth or entitled to,
1) Live out of poverty?
2) Ability to own a home?
3) Paid skillrate of £15 p/hr x 37hr wk?
4) Secure loved ones future?
5) Paid overtime?
6) 30 days holiday?
7) £50k tax free lump sum at state pen age? 1/2

A piece I did with Amanda Hunter from Together on the recent prosecutions of Unpaid Carers.

No body should be dying whilst under the care of the state.. I use the word 'care' loosely 😡

Enough is enough. Disabled people are not the problem.

Last week the Prime Minister made a speech about so-called 'sicknote culture'. He also proposed major changes to disability benefits.

Today we're launching a petition in response to this full-on assault of disabled people.

Just when you think they couldn't sink any lower they find away....appalling but not surprising

Will they just be quiet 🤫 #GeneralElectionNow honestly utterly fed up with their nonsense about disabled children, adults, carers and benefits..

Appalling.
