Letter: What has the Government got against underpaid carers in this country?

Unbelievable! This government takes thousands of pounds off underpaid carers, then they pay failed asylum seekers £3,000 each to go to Rwanda.

Just send them without any taxpayers’ money.

If carers earn over their limit, why can't the couple of pounds that they've earned over their limit just be deducted from their carers’ allowance.

Why stop the entire allowance?

In my view, this government is hellbent on keeping its own people down while making life so easy for these supposed asylum seekers who give extraordinary reasons why they left their homeland.
