Richard Tice wants to force people into social care work under threat of losing their benefits. What could possibly go wrong?

Not everyone is suited to working in social care.

You certainly won't fix the huge problems that currently exist in social care without addressing causes: low wages, overuse of zero-hour contracts, burnout, perceived low status of work, chronic underfunding, etc.

Stupid arse. I haven’t sat down to watch telly in years. I use all my energy to clean my house and take care of my child it takes me 5x as long as someone without my conditions. 99.9999% of people on benefits aren’t sat round watching telly cos they cba working https://t.co/h49LOXQQ2Q

Please explain how as a disabled person I work in social care? Absolute fucking fool.

If I’m being honest I probably need some social care but none of us can get anything so there’s 2 disabled people and a pensioner with cancer all caring for each other here. https://t.co/SBRWXtBpVO

I’m all for people working. But I’d rather a foreign worker who WANTS to work in care looking after my family than a Brit who has been forced to care for them.. https://t.co/KOs4vJFbfK

Care work is too important to use as a stick to beat the unemployed. Every one of the amazing carers who helped me look after my mum was from the developing world. I would never have put her in the hands of unwilling conscripts, forced into work they weren’t suited to.

Here an idea for Dicky: everyone moaning that immigration is too high should demonstrate their patriotism and go work in social care.

So it turns out that one of the benefits of Brexit is to illegally force people into care work. #r4today https://t.co/78DsGQNLx3

Perhaps Mr. Tice should reassess his priorities.

Wish he had this much energy for increasing the living wage or tackling employers paying poverty wages
