It’s definitely US Version Hogwarts for pensioners. Why do a safety briefing about not opening your front door when no one has one, because you mysteriously live in an entire wing, each, of a stately home? Great cast. Otherwise appalling.

@johnharris1969.bsky.social It really is a brilliant piece.
I'm in my 26th year of being an unpaid carer. It's exhausting, lonely, impoverishing, stressful & isolating & now @teamlabouruk.bsky.social want to make it even more difficult.
