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..

Today MPs will vote on the amended welfare bill.
MPs who choose to walk through the lobby and support this bill are paving the way for at least 150,000 people to be pulled into poverty.
Here are just 3 reasons why they should oppose this bill from @katieschmuecker.bsky.social 🔽

Blimey, these Labour proposals on PIP & UC are dire. But listening to Badenoch speak, Tories are terrifying - the idea of "deserving" & "undeserving". Only evidence to present - Taxpayers Alliance! Give me strength. Thankfully not in power, but mustn't be distracted into thinking this bill is good.

Maskell is cutting through to the root of problem, our economic model. We must tax the super rich to enable the rest of us to live good lives.

Crucial intercession from Rachel Maskell, bringing the care, humanity & voices of those who are being used as political footballs.
The price of disability is £1500 per month, support from social security is crucial to prevent real dependence on food banks & charity.

The Welfare Reform Bill debate is hard watching but the amendment from Maskell & her framing that we all matter and are deserving is more important now than ever

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 need UBS: a universal, publicly funded system of essential services, free at the point of use and organised around human need.
This should range from a Public Food Service to free local transport, a revitalised care system and much more beyond 👇

📢 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 🧵
