eva comrie I don’t usually get political on this but aye defo….everyone I have spoken to in the past week have expressed this. I see the absolute shambles of our NHS and Freya suffers it, she has done for 14 years of her life 😢 I just feel we need people with lived experience & empathy
The best thing about today will be #dogsatpollingstations
Oh yes - I know how bloody frustrating and out of touch with reality politics is for many of us, but please, please go out and vote in the English local elections.
#GMS BBC Radio Scotland Gary Robertson - an outcome on care means nothing when social care is bring decimated, when unpaid carers are taken advantage of, when disabled ppl are treated as 2nd class citizens.

Simultaneously exhausted & restless this week. Not just work related…
I hate being the sole decision maker, hate D’s absence at home…his smile, the way he could make me laugh..even the awful arguments that came with caring/poorer health.
Just feel utterly useless. #widowhood
I'm so glad research is proving what I have been saying for years. Parent Carer trauma is not acknowledged. Instead the label of difficult parent is applied too easily rather than traumatised parent #WhoCaresForTheCarer
Martin Lewis Don’t become old, don’t become disabled and for heaven sake don’t become a government slave because that’s all an unpaid carer is.
I’m a disabled unpaid carer and I’ve already had my pip denied before now because I’m caring for my son.
