Low paid care workers looked after my mother for 8 years as she slipped away to Alzheimers.
hey contributed more to the lives of those elderly people and indeed their families than you, or for that matter I ever have.

Me: We let in way too many low-paid workers and non-paying dependents, we need to reform the rules so that only those who genuinely contribute can stay here permanently.

To hope that when he is old & sick & incapable of looking after himself there are no care staff available?
Not heartless, but self defeating because if there aren't any for him there won't be any for us either.
I honestly thought that Covid would completely demolish the idea that how much pay a person gets equates to how much they genuinely contribute when we ALL saw that without so many low paid workers the country would have ground to a halt.
I'm still a wee bit bitter about how things simply went back to the way they were pre-Covid.
I say a wee bit bitter...
It shouldn’t be.

Colvile doubtless ignores the difficulties of recruiting workers for the care, hospitality and agricultural sectors.
I refuse to pay for the Times. He probably ignores the data about the contribution they make to the nations finances as well.
His tone is rather supercilious methinks.

It reads like a load of random snippets glued together in a mosaic to support Badenoch's new policy. The £234 Billion figure is random!
At best is corruption as they have a mortgage to pay and a family to feed so they believe it is justified to get money from Murdoch.

I wonder if the quality (as in reflecting the article) of headlines has gone down a lot because of that.
Does he work under those conditions?
(Yes should be paid more)
I read issue with non-pay dependants. Which makes sense that we would like to reduce this occurrence as a tax saving.
Colville is an unmitigated shit.
It's a horrible disease, but it does make you appreciate the good times, perhaps even more. I hope that was a comfort to you like it was to me.
Immigration is a Trojan horse to attack the real targets, the ones they know people won't actively vote for

Didn't Oscar Wilde say:
"A fool is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing".
And they had no protections

Care sector has been wrecked for years. Governments have failed it.
