Well it remains to be seen what plans, if any, the government have for social care. We will have to wait and see what they will come up with in the next few weeks. The system, or rather lack of it, does need reforming. As is usual with this country, it would appear that the government have not agreed anything with the other parties. In fact they don't appear to have consulted their own party members.

How Johnson quelled Tory anger over manifesto-breaking tax rise

"Foreshadowing a tricky autumn for Johnson, a minister acknowledged anger at the prime minister from his own MPs could be at its highest level yet. “Nobody knows what the PM stands for other than winning elections, so their loyalty is only to his success,” they said. Another frontbencher said: “He’s developing very early what Margaret Thatcher did quite late on in her premiership – an inability to distinguish what is popular. He’s not as loved as he thinks he is.”


I have never been able to work out what he stands for. He seems to want to be liked by everyone and seems to say whatever it is that he thinks people want to hear. I cannot believe a word that he says. It might turn out to be true but then again it might not.
