Care workers are treated like dirt by the Tories. No wonder they’re quitting
We thought this window-writing was by a child in care. It seems it might have been by a carer instead.
Here‘s another crisis the Conservative government has created for itself:
Desperately needed social care staff are quitting their jobs to work in the tourism and hospitality sector because they are ‘burnt out’, the sector has warned.
Exhausted staff are leaving the key worker roles to fill shortages in other sectors, as pubs and restaurants struggle to find enough staff.
Urgent action is needed to stop a “tsunami of unmet need” rippling across essential services this winter, the care regulator has warned.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) says health and care staff are “exhausted and depleted” and working under intense levels of pressure.
The vacancy rate in care homes has steadily grown to reach 10.2% as of September – meaning in a year’s time one in 10 care home staff will not be in that job, the CQC said.
And what’s the Conservative government’s response? Make those who are left work harder.
It’s shocking – and ridiculous at the same time. Watch Peter Stefanovic’s video to grasp the full meaning of what Tory minister Gillian Keegan was backed into saying:
“If I understand this correctly faced with a care quality commission report talking about an exhausted and depleted workforce you’re saying work more hours”
That was just the start of the biggest car crash interview of the week. Watch in disbelief pic.twitter.com/R3UBXj2R1z

For fairness, here’s more of that interview, without interruptions:

I wouldn’t be surprised if every care worker who saw those clips – or the full interview when it was screened – quit their job at once.
It is clear that they aren’t valued and will simply be worked until they drop – and then blamed for the holes in the care system they leave behind.

Male slave owners forced their female and male slaves to ‘work harder’ until they died! Same principle applies to the cruel and callous fascist tory dictatorship! We peasants are all expendable and we can all die from overwork because this is how the fascist tories maintain their power and wealth!
But don’t worry – gullible tory voters will continue supporting our fascist tory dictatorship!
