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

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
