Calling care work "low skilled" is an insult. I have visited an old peoples home, seen the elderly needing 24/7 care, some with dementia, Alzheimer's, some paralysed from stroke, don't know where or who they are, don't know where to toilet. I couldn't do it. Neither could you

Politicians who refer to foreign care workers as 'low skilled' should be forced to work in an understaffed care home for a week

Care work is not a low skilled job. It's simply under-paid and under-recognised. Stop this nonsense and start recognising those who look after our most vulnerable, whereever they come from. On behalf of us sane people - thankyou to all overseas care workers RT if you agree

I cannot believe I’m writing this. But Keir Starmer today resumed British spy flights over Gaza to collect intel for Israel. This Shadow R1 left UK base on Cyprus at 3pm and spent 5 hours over Gaza. The plane’s capabilities include “target acquisition” for military strikes.

FYI: PIP (Personal Independence Payments) is not an out-of-work benefit. It exists to help people pay for the extra costs that come with disability. Cutting disability benefits won’t help people who are already working, and it won’t help people back into work.

In my work, I meet people across all political beliefs. I’ve never met anyone who—when faced with the brutal reality of our benefits system—wasn’t horrified. There is no system handing out free money. What exists is a system that degrades, impoverishes and punishes those in need.

❌ The notoriously dangerous Cheltenham Festival kicks off next week – from the 11th-14th March. This 'festival' has claimed the lives of 76 horses since 2000. ⁠This isn't a 'sport' the nation can be proud of, but pervasive and persistent animal abuse.⁠ https://t.co/13dNWmsMvt

The monster Netanyahu 🇮🇱 announces a full blockade on Gaza 🇵🇸 “No free lunches….as of this morning all goods & supplies into Gaza 🇵🇸 will be prevented.” Collective punishment & starvation as a weapon of genocide. Expel Israel 🇮🇱 from the UN now. https://t.co/pn8ToOgzQg

DOOCY: Would Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza if they left during the rebuilding? TRUMP: It would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good, where they wouldn't want to return (A reporter can be heard yelling, "It's their home, sir!")

Is there another workplace in the UK where drinking is not just tolerated but actually encouraged and subsidised? If they can't do the job without alcohol, they need treatment. Mandatory, randomised drug and alcohol tests should be the norm.

A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country.  We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.
