1. Social care workers not valued but not paid more because of dividends & offshore profits in a HUGE care Home market
2. Ageism - care provided by poorly paid workers who are hidden away in institutional care with older adults so that we don’t have to deal with it.
There are some good moves and then there are *ionist/tech bros?Heritage Foundation moves.
Is there a *ionist in there, somewhere?
Is it just a way of stopping "slavery" without telling care businesses to pay proper wages?
What is going on
It's nonsense and Cooper knows it.
But Labour is just Reform-lite now, so on she bleats.
They managed to win last time around without those votes.
Just go back to doing what Labour historically do.
Please.
The outlook for the UK seems very bleak.
Why exactly should anyone not vote for reform, if this is what you get anyway?
@teamlabouruk.bsky.social
What are you doing?
The people who want cuts in care workers from abroad will vote Reform anyway.
Might as well have voted Reform. Not much difference.
I am disgusted by this government.
Where is the morality of that?
Labour are barmy at the moment!
'Knee jerk reaction' might fit better?
They're half right.
Labour voters including the unions will stick by them.
Problem is the far right voters will not vote Labour.
On principle, left wing voters should but won't vote Green.
Feels like even North Korea is more welcoming.
Who's going to suffer?
Brits! Namely the elderly/disabled - but they could opt for another Nazi policy to "deal" with the issue, I suppose.
(how do you know I'm seething?)

Are they going to offer a significant pay rise to make the job attractive?
How did it come to pass that *Kit Malthouse* is the voice of reason & the one less hypnotised by chasing RefUK votes?*
Force the work shy benefit claimants to work in the care sector.
