John Redwood has just claimed that the new rules will force employers to put up the wages of care workers. That doesn't make sense.
Central government has cut funding to local authorities, who can't afford to pay more for care workers without cutting the number employed.
In any case, there's already a shortage, but that hasn't forced wage increases, which employers could do now, if they wished or could.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
