He's a lad

Triple-lock gone, 1.25% up our ribs, but he won't raise taxes.

Just as a point of info.

I pay €1023 per month in NI for myself in France.

€440 for my employee.

Should have been a percentage tax on the estate IMHO. What is it, a 72k cap? 72k is naff all of a house in Brighton, but a wacking great lump of the same house in Huddersfield.

 

And another thing- who here thinks any of this will reach the front line care workers? The hell it will. They'll still be on minimum wage, topped up by our taxes so that they can just about afford to exist. Yet another Tory subsidy to big business (and care is going to be very big indeed).

Are front line health care workers on minimum wage? I think not.

Nurses and allied professionals no, healthcare assistants - yes.

[Mick Dempsey]

So no then.

So no then.

Healthcare assistants are on the frontline

My wife was a healthcare assistant for 6 years- very much more on the frontline back then compared to now as a Occupational therapist. Healthcare assistants are well under valued for what they have to do.

My point is that staying in a nursing home costs upwards of 2k a week, whilst the people wiping the arses are on a pittance.

 

Big profits for the owners.

I can think of other terminology for him…
