The Animal Welfare Bill by @DannyChambers.bsky.social has become law. 

 This is a turning point for animal welfare in the UK - eradicating cruel practices, stopping pet mutilation and cracking down on the scourge of illegal puppy smuggling.

Today is #CarersRightsDay: It's Time for a New Social Contract for #UnpaidCarers The 2025 theme is ‘Know your rights, use your rights’, and we have brought together our key outputs as links in this piece to help boost this encouraging message further: centreforcare.ac.uk/commentary/2...

Great to join @carersuk @carerstrust and @centreforcare at each of their events at @LiberalDemocrat Party Conference in Bournemouth. Carers provide a remarkable and often unsung service to our nation. They and those they care for deserve a better and fairer system, let's make it happen.

Nutritionise. Wisdom to start any day with.

Caring shaped my life. It should shape our politics too.

📢 Webinar Join us 9 July: #SocialCare Reform in England: taking stock and setting the agenda 🪏 With @blimeysimon.bsky.social @natashacurry.bsky.social @richardhumphries.bsky.social @clentonf.bsky.social 🔗 lse.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Daisy Cooper argued that “Not a single carer should lose a penny” while #CarersAllowance is fixed. We agree. #Carers are being punished by a broken system, forced to repay thousands for tiny errors. Sue Yeandle OBE calls it what it is: a national scandal: centreforcare.ac.uk/commentary/2... 2/2

At #PMQs yesterday @libdemdaisy.bsky.social was right to highlight the serious impact that the UK gov's proposed #welfarereforms could have on #carers. As @charliegrosset.bsky.social sets out, these changes risk pushing more carers into poverty and crisis: centreforcare.ac.uk/commentary/2... 1/2

The NHS is in crisis. We support extra investment to help turn it around, but without fixing social care, no amount of funding will solve the problem. I urge the Prime Minister to ensure the Spending Review finally delivers for social care and family carers.

We're delighted to see Patrick Butler and @joshhalliday.bsky.social‬ honoured and recognised for the contribution these @theguardian.com journalists made to uncovering and sharing the Carer's Allowance scandal. #paulfootawards #carersallowance #socialcare

@supergrasshq.bsky.social are still the best band in the world by the way

Happy 100th birthday, Chocclette biskitz

Fancy

It’s definitely springing! 💛

In beautiful #Edinburgh to cover a @centreforcare.bsky.social report launch at parliament on the value of #unpaidcare. Great to have a wee bit of welcoming eye contact from this chap when getting off the train.
