When it feels like as a carer you aren't actually able to achieve anything on behalf of the one you care for its because of this fuck off Tory bullshit.

I'm not sorry about the language. They break her heart and the break mine. I'm done with being gaslight by anyone. Had enough years of this personally.

Tories need to be ousted. Can we even wait for the next GE? Smarmy sleazy self serving money grubbing pieces of shit.

And I'm done.

The same GP surgery who admonished me for trying to be organised when we all know how hit and miss controlled medicines availability is, for ordering too far ahead are now suggesting they may not fill an emergency prescription if we run out because we didn't order in time. Who exactly is the organised professional meant to be? Family carers or assigned GP surgeries?

It's half nine in the morning and the tables have been turned. I've already been dragged out, run through sodden mud and had gender debates and animal rights philosophies thrown at me.
I have not had coffee. Think it's safe to say where I'm headed but this time things have been achieved with the daughter.

Today is a decent day even without the caffeine. There may even be less angsty toots.
(I'll try not to look at the news with my phone in my vicinity)

I'm #carer to my #disabled wife.

I raise serious problems and issues that affect disabled people and #carers.

And how did the then Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Thérèse Coffey, respond?

She blocked me.

It's #CarersRightsDay today. So here's a shout out to all #carers, paid and unpaid, and those who aren't YET carers (most of us will be at some point in our lives).
Please #boost this #toot to make sure #carers know their rights www.carersuk.org/news-and-campaigns/carers-rights-day/find-out-about-your-rights #thursday

I didn't realise it was the UK's #CarersRightsDay today until I received an email from a fellow carer, #PennyWincer. So here's a shout out to all #carers, paid and unpaid, where ever you are. We deserve to be heard, and the support of others, including those who aren't yet carers, helps. Let's take strength from each other and make sure we know what our rights are at www.carersuk.org/news-and-campaigns/carers-rights-day/find-out-about-your-rights #thursday

Fantastic to see Bristol’s Invisible Army featured as photo of the day in the Guardian for their #Bristol #art installation of 40,000 paper flowers, representing the number of unpaid carers in the city.
It’s on display in the Galleries shopping centre for a couple more weeks for anyone that wants to see it.

it's really good to see a focus on #SocialCare in the news at the moment and how without good care, health systems can break down

However good social care can improve the lives of #carers as well. It can be economic and social infrastructure

In the UK 1 in 5 people aged 50-64 are carers. Many have reduced hours of work or drop out of #employment entirely

a few years ago we developed this briefing outlining our analysis of the barriers to work faced by many carers

This is Friday me. Catching up on UK politics after a dismal Budget. I've been an unpaid full-time carer , 7 days a week, for nearly 2 years now and not received a penny of help or sympathy from the government. The systemic problems that disabled people and their helpers face are growing daily. It never gets easier. The system is demeaning, means tested and thwarted by bureaucracy at every turn. Doing the right thing has never been so ridiculed. #Carers #disabled #socialjustice #politics

Carer's Allowance in the UK in 2022 = £69 per week max. for providing 24/7 care - £1,400 per month in Germany.

£69 is disgraceful. It's way out of step with the times and costs.

My wife and child are disabled, I care for them. Govt have made our lives a living hell. No government should do this to citizens. https://innervoice2011.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/themingford/
