This week Paul Scholes shared his experiences of caring for his son alongside his professional role and it resonated with us. In our economy - that devalues and isolates care - the challenges he faced are shared by millions, but not everyone has the resources he has to fall back on.

Whether you’re up for the school run, taking Mum to a doctors appointment or helping a neighbour with their shopping, we all want to care and be cared for.
But in the economy we have millions who care are struggling to survive, left to worry about how to care for someone and look after themselves..

We need to stop talking about a housing ladder - it's bad for people and it's bad for policy!

We've added unpaid labour to the mix and find that it would take unpaid carers 45 years to reach an income matching a FTSE 100 CEO in a single month.
These figures are staggering and show that across different relationships with work our economy exploits so many of us for individualised gain.

Today's research from the @highpaycentre.bsky.social reveals the stark inequalities within our economy.
They find that FTSE 100 company CEOs earn 106x more than their lowest paid employees meaning it would take employees almost 9 years to earn what their bosses earn in a single month...

✨ Radical reform to Carers Allowance to value care (and cancel unfair debts)
✨ Reversal of plans to cut PIP for the thousands who need it
✨Introduce a wealth tax to enable us to invest in our public services and infrastructure
What would you like to see happen?

Liz Kendall says proposed PIP cuts will save the welfare state, but we think it's a sign it's already in trouble.
It's time to return to foundations that enable our systems of support to thrive; investment over cuts, support over conditionality.
What could a compassionate welfare state look like?

We've moved beyond rationality leading conversations says - @simonduffy.bsky.social. It's no longer enough to be right, having a good policy isn't enough. We need to tackle the forces at work that undermine the good ideas that should work.

"If you don't think care matters - maybe you're a man?" - Emily Kenway makes a compelling case for why care might be so overlooked by the powers that be.
This work is so needed, and the challenge to the prevailing system is vital.

One half of the dynamic Care Full duo absolutely rocking it.
@hannahwebster.bsky.social tells us how care has been consistently and purposefully forced out the political conversation, and the people who provide and receive that care left in poverty as a result.

📢 New analysis of cuts 📢
We estimate unpaid carers are at risk of losing between £1.2bn – £1.7bn in income as a direct result of changes to PIP eligibility announced this week.
The green paper fails to fully engage with the scale of its devastation with much of this on top of £5bn announced 🧵

A social security system fit for the 21st Century is one we invest in. But the changes proposed today will take vital income away from those who need it.
Government must be open to fairer approaches, starting with progressive taxation options many in Parliament and beyond are already calling for.

On the back of #IWD we're reflecting on an occasion transitioning from socialist origins to a corporate entity. With the theme of 'accelerating action' can we afford to take such a politically neutral approach to the world we want to build?
