An interesting article by Chris Glenn and Charlie Cooper appeared in the Independent on 15th August, and the ‘i’ on 16th August.
In the Independent, the article ran under the headline ‘Exclusive: Lib Dems to offer ‘perks’ to Britain’s unpaid carers’.
In the ‘i’, the headline had been softened to ‘Britain’s army of unpaid carers wooed to secure pivotal votes’ – which perhaps more accurately reflects the article’s suggestion that all three main parties are considering how to appeal to the UK’s carers.
A bidding war amongst the three main parties is probably good news for all carers… provided pre-election promises of higher benefit thresholds, an annual carer’s bonus, free hospital parking etc. are actually kept!
