How familiar are we with the legal ‘things’ to help us in our caring role? We know it's a huge topic. From carers' rights in hospitals to carers' rights with property (and more). Read our full guide. 📖 mobiliseonline.co.uk/carers-rights #CarersRights #UnpaidCarer

Labour govt has made a policy error in denying Winter Fuel Payments to poor and vulnerable pensioners. Instead of listening, it is spinning and getting into more trouble. It must change the policy ahead of higher energy bills and save lives. leftfootforward.org/2024/09/the-la…

Why is this still happening? Belongings of care children put in bin bags and lost bbc.com/news/articles/…

John McDonnell asked Labour what was happening re mandatory in-work progression, something that would push at least 600,000 working UC claimants into the conditionality and sanctions regime. Alison McGovern didn't answer, instead promoting their white paper.

Starmer’s decision to scrap Winter Fuel Payments for 10 million pensioners will plunge many into poverty and ill health whilst corporations and Labour donors celebrate record profits. A morally bankrupt government for the few at the expense of the many. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

I explained my position on Winter Fuel Allowance on LBC this morning. I remain in hope Ministers will come forward with an alternative to protect my constituents, who will suffer badly from this change of policy. If not I can’t in all conscience do anything else but vote against.

It transpires Wes Streeting MP is allowing Alan Milburn to attend numerous NHS related meetings and view countless confidential documents, despite him being unelected and having no relevant role. A look at Milburn's history shows why this is very concerning. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/f/alan…

I see clips like this and realise how totally disconnected, despairing and disenfranchised I feel now compared with even 5 years ago. It's not just the UK. I look at French politics, in which I maintain a strong interest, and feel the same. I really don't know if I will ever

It’s being reported that up to 30 Labour MPs will abstain in the Commons vote on scrapping winter fuel allowance for millions of pensioners. So rather than showing some bollocks by voting against it and face the wrath of Starmer, they are going to abstain. Cowardly and pathetic.

Westminster plays us for fools and insignificant

Zarah. Never. Misses. 💥💥

The global movement to tax billionaires, much to the dismay of the 1%, is gaining steam. Sure, wealth taxes are not a panacea for the ruinous problems caused by capitalism, but the fact that the rich hate them is a good reason to pursue them further. jacobin.com/2024/03/billio…

#WinterFuelPayment Disabled people are impacted by cuts to winter fuel payment. In receipt of PIP or attendance allowance and not pension credit won’t receive it Disabled people are high energy users, use peg feeding, ventilators, charge equipment, use washing machines

The government says they have no choice but to cut winter fuel allowance. That is a lie. They could bring in wealth taxes as a start. Instead, they are choosing to push more pensioners into poverty. Defend the principle of universalism — no cuts to welfare!

PM defends 'tough decision' over winter fuel cut. It isn't tough, it is stupid/heartless. 1.6m pensioners below poverty line won't get Winter Fuel Payment. Thousands will die. Headlines will remind Starmer/Reeves of consequences Tax the Rich. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It's going to be interesting watching Scottish Labour MSPs demand the SNP make school meals universally free whilst arguing there's not enough money to have universal benefits.
