Vicky Spratt says housing crisis is a major reason why Starmer ’s plans don’t add up.

Care work is often talked of as low-skilled’ by politicians and think-tankers.

One in four ( 23 per cent ) of care workers and home carers were not born in Britain .

Labour is focusing on cutting immigration because they are worried about the rise of Reform .

The reality is that care work is too often unstable and does not pay people enough to live well because private rents are so expensive and social housing is in short supply.

In 2022 , approximately 19 per cent of the UK ’s population was aged 65 or over.

By 2072 , this number is projected to nearly double to 27 per cent .
