“Hidden cost of Labour's #socialcare plans revealed”… as something but we don’t know what. So not a big story. The real issue is that worker pay is Labour’s only social care policy. It’s said nothing on huge issues like giving people more access to care. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
"The crisis in #socialcare has forced local authorities to cut costs, and not complying with duties in the 2014 Care Act has become normalised... Systemic change is required." This from a former government cabinet minister. thetimes.co.uk/article/162786…
This is fairly grim reading about a ‘Kafkaesque’ hospital discharge. #socialcare thetimes.co.uk/article/83e91b…
Current state of @Telegraph poll on whether soldiers should be allowed to grow beards. It's on a razor's edge.

Always love a 'do' at @TheKingsFund, lots of friendly and familiar faces.
Brilliant to take @1adass Presidency tonight. Been an amazing year being VP to Beverley Tarka and looking forward to the amazing year ahead.
Flying the flag for social care at @TheKingsFund Annual Reception this evening. Good to see some familiar faces as well as meeting others for the first time incl @swoolnough Always fun to discuss how to fix social care with @blimeysimon and catch up with @mancunianmedic 😊
Also highlights a crucial design flaw in Carers Allowance. There's no taper. You can earn £151 a week. If you earn £1 more you lose *it all*. Other benefits have a taper to encourage people to work as much as they can. Not Carer's Allowance. That's crazy. It can & should be fixed
My @guardian story: Tens of thousands of unpaid carers looking after disabled, frail or ill relatives forced to repay huge sums to DWP or face criminal prosecution over "honest mistake" breaches of carers allowance rules theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Justin Webb @BBCr4today asks Wes Streeting if Labour’s manifesto will include “a detailed plan for funding social care”. Reply - “we will offer a long term plan for investment & reform”.
@blimeysimon I get pay is important for care workers. But surely quality of care is important for individuals?! More training needed before the care worker is sent out into the "field". The person in receipt of the service should not have to provide the training to the care workers.
full report can be downloaded here acss.org.uk/news/academy-p…
This is why the theme of "Geography for Everyone" for this year's @The_GA #GAConf24 is so important. See graphic from new @AcadSocSciences EDI report showing ethnic breakdown of HE students across the social sciences. #Geography is one of the least diverse subjects.
A lovely day exploring Amalfi😊 ☀️ 🇮🇹
@blimeysimon @Telegraph I had an Action Man with a beard
@blimeysimon @TheKingsFund Glad to see you branching out Simon, change'll do you go etc.
@blimeysimon @TheKingsFund The Sex Pistols' lyrics were certainly angry, but not simple or particularly repetitive, and certainly not self-obsessed
@blimeysimon @skillsforcare The question on who pays is an interesting one @blimeysimon as NLW increase from last year is 9.8%, the gov settlement for LA’s was about 7.5% and at the moment, for my organisation which contracts with 114 LA’s and ICB’s is being offered just over 4.5% uplift. Some offering 0%!
Five years' experience in #socialcare now gets you 8p an hour extra pay. Twelve months ago it was 6p. Who says the government's workforce plan isn't working?
@skillsforcare has published our pay report. Link in the comments.
@blimeysimon @danwellings Thanks for the facts and figures.
