You crush unpaid carers with 90–168 hr weeks, no pay, no support, no rest, then gasp when they break down & need sickness benefits. Burn them out & the state pays double. This isn’t a welfare crisis. It’s a social care & NHS collapse. #FixSocialCare #UnpaidCarers Kemi Badenoch

Terrible indictment of our times. A very ill mum died despite phoning an ambulance & her daughter with Downs died probably through starvation. They were not found for months. Not a tragic situation it's about the breakdown of our services & communities nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

#CalumsLaw has the backing of The Scottish Government. I cannot tell you all how relieved and delighted we are, however, we still have a lot to do, working with experts in human rights as well as disability and child development. We must get this right. sundaypost.com/fp/mum-delight…

A society that forces unpaid carers to hold up signs just to ask for rest is a society that’s failing. Sleep isn’t a luxury. It’s a basic human need. Why is no one in government calling out this abuse? #ProtestFromHome #GiveCarersABreak

Won’t be long until two bottles of water at the theatre cost more than an unpaid carer gets for a full day (£11.98). Right now? £6.40 — already 53% of a day’s allowance. Two tickets? £100+. This isn’t access. It’s exclusion. #UnpaidCarers #TheatreForAll #AccessibleArts

Same young person. Same complex care needs. One carer is paid £12.21 an hour The other gets £11.98 A DAY No shifts. No sick pay. No clocking off. Just endless paperwork, stress, battles and care. Unpaid carers deserve more. #UnpaidCarers #socialcarecrisis #DisabilityRights

A lot of damage gets done by advocates who believe that ADHD & autism are not disabilities. Toxic positivity has also done a tremendous amount of harm. We only have to look at how politicians are capitalising on this school of thought & long waiting lists.

We had a lovely big family holiday to Rosneath. Granny, siblings, great aunts and uncles, cousins and second cousins. Wee G done really well to engage and socialise. He loved having all his cousins around to give him attention and love. ❤️

A reminder that 2000+ autistic & learning disabled people are still detained in inadequate mental health units. Repeated promises have been made to end this barbarity but as usual the vulnerable are never a priority for politicians.

When a paid carer works too many hours, it’s a safeguarding concern. When an unpaid carer does the same, it’s called “love and duty.” That double standard is costing lives — and the system relies on it to save money. 🪡
