Unpaid #carers desperately need more than just a tweaked version of Carers Allowance. My plea @NicolaSturgeon is that you look at unpaid carers as a group whose lives could be greatly improved through the Min Inc Guarantee work.

Thread: Pretty historic moment as we see First Minister @NicolaSturgeon putting #BasicIncome in the @theSNP manifesto today.
Watch what she had to say today 👇

Article about my little family & life as a #loneparent full time #carer to my profoundly disabled son Brendan Bjorn. The headline speaks to burnout. That's what happens when in-home nursing respite is refused. Some get it. Some don't. WHY? #carersincrisis irishtimes.com/life-and-styl…

It’s true I’m economically inactive. I don’t get paid for the full-time ‘job’ I do. Supporting two people to stay safe & live their lives at home. I’m no different from so many #unpaidcarers. I refuse to believe that this has no value. It’s just government doesn’t recognise it.
Priti Patel has claimed staff shortages under the government's new immigration system could be dealt with by training the 8.5 million who are economically inactive
But @BBCRealityCheck finds that many of these people are students, carers, sick or retired

“One woman who fled her home says she was asked by her housing officer to get a letter signed by her abuser stating that he had raped and attacked her.” This is a really important read on the horrific lack of housing in England for women fleeing abuse. theguardian.com/society/2020…
