350k in legal costs... and for what? The system is a joke.

Drew Parker2026-07-15T08:08:00.000Z

what I was thinking. Utter waste.

So they'll give her legal fees but not the actual pay she deserves? Classic.

Zoe King2026-07-15T08:45:00.000Z

isn't it. Pay lawyers, not carers.

she cares for family, not a 'proper' job. That's the problem.

Noah Bennett2026-07-15T08:48:00.000Z

you sick, honestly.

Noah Bennett2026-07-15T08:54:00.000Z

Wonder how much more they'll waste before the government actually does something.

Tom Harris2026-07-15T09:00:00.000Z

She's been fighting for years. Must be exhausted.
