Yes agreed. 👍 I see that happening as well. Not good at all. It’s no longer possible for many vulnerable people to tell the difference between Ai Propaganda. CareWorker with kids, elderly and ppl with a disability. They do tend to believe literally everything seen on Television at face value. 🙈🤷♂️😢

"Careworker is not just a job where we struggle to fill vacancies, it is a job that requires you to accept an arrangement not dissimilar to construction workers in Dubai, we need to make this more appealing to British people."

Great Rally in Toronto with CUPE National…..There are Families across Canada that are still waiting for $10-a-day childcare — and childcare workers are still waiting for fair pay. #FixIt

What about a careworker doing night shifts, alternating with her husband who's working some days from home, to share childcare. When are they supposed to fit in 'voluntary work'? Never mind the £1000s they're paying in fees as part of the visa process!

Also, to the current right wing complaint about legal immigration, a) what caused it to rise? Tory’s.
B) labour is helping get careworker wages and conditions improved, so helping those Brits open to that work get a decent deal; but it still won’t be enough to wipe your grandparents diarrhoea up

The other key difference is that Dorries was very wealthy by the time she entered politics, so you might question whether she was still a 'working class' person then.
Whereas Rayner worked her way up the political ladder from being a careworker trade union rep.

When I got my shoulder fixed I was in a sling for 3 months. I had a careworker who turned up at 6.30am every day, helped me shower & dress, washed my hair, made my bed, chopped up veges for meal prep (stir fry & spagbol saved my life), vacuumed, brushed & tied up my hair.

My Mum's care worker helps her shower & get dressed every morning. She works 0700 to 8.45pm, 3 hrs off during day.
Has every second weekend off, but that's still 12 days in a row. Staff shortages have meant she missed her weekend off: is working 26 days straight.

like why not call it what it is.
tho tbh that would include the majority of women in the subgroup 'unpaid careworker'(who will be affected by poverty in age at massively increased numbers bc they sacrificed income for childrearing and care without having much protection against being discarded)

I am a careworker in a film. I don't carry a pen in my breast pocket because I'm too menial for writing and I always just leave a tray of slop food in a position well out of reach from the person I've not helped get out of bed.
I’m a journalist in a film. I have a staff job and all my interviews are in person
Hello, I'm a copyeditor in a film. Just kidding, copyeditors don't appear in films; I'm a blurry extra typing busily in a weirdly well-lit "cool" office as the heroine walk-and-talks past.

If you take away a wheelchair user's electric wheelchair money, you now have someone who needs a careworker *and* a wheelchair.
Screaming at them "f**k you, lazy cr*p. Get your arse in to work and pay for it all yourself you worthless piece of sh*t" isn't going to change this.

Her mental health was very badly affected by separation from her husband throughout that time and he was desperately worried about her. He couldn't get a visit visa to come to the UK. And she was working a full day as a careworker and then working a second job in the evening, again care work.

Indeed, and that's what I try to say in my careworker-as-profession stuff, though not as well as you. My fear at the moment is that acknowledging desire for choice and agency (cf. Giddens) is now outweighed in Labour by a brooding sense that people need to be forced to cohere in communities.
