Our Director of Policy shares some real jaw-dropper moments she faced in parliament sessions, the top things politicans have said to her about carers:
"Carers have a duty to look after their relatives. If they don’t want to do it, that’s just tough."
"People with disabilities don’t need DLA unless they’re the most severely disabled people."
"We don’t actually need to put money into supporting carers - they’d do it anyway."
Read on the policy blog for other top jaw-droppers and her responses and do tell her what else would you add to this list?
