Just when you thought the DWP couldn't be any more sh*tty towards unpaid carers than they have been, they've threatened those considering appealing the fines levied against them, that an appeal might open them up to even greater penalties....
This is inhumanity and a compassion bypass that is becoming truly staggering.
Unpaid carers should be cherished & supported not punished - the DWP should be thanking & helping them, not taking them to court!

@ChrisMayLA6 When I worked for a supermarket I was constantly asked to do more hours when starting a shift. It's hard to decline any extra work if you're worried about your job
Carers allowance is so inadequate people are forced to watch every penny on top of their exhausting care giving.
Carers do a FANTASTIC job, and SAVE so much money with the neverending loving care they provide, so the 'State' don't need to. They should be respected and appreciated not demonised.
so this Guardian article:

is based on a +972Mag report:

WHICH EXPLAINS THE #AI HYPE OF THE PAST 7 MONTHS
#techbros are not only hyping AI in their war against #unions & USA's working classes; they do so while profiting from #Gaza #genocide
BTW:
how can AI identify 37,000 HAMAS combatants if they supposedly only had 30-40,0000 by Oct 7?

and as the CIA has always low-balled them at 20-25,000?
