Boris says that he has sorted social care. Well he hasn't BUT at least he has made a start unlike all the previous governments. As usual there are no details yet apart from the planned NI increase next year. We will have to wait and see if he follows through on that. His plan at the moment is more concerned with people preserving their wealth rather than how social care is organised and paid for.

In an ideal world all the parties would get together to come up with a long term plan for social care. I don't think i will live long enough to ever see that happening. As it is, Boris has not even bothered consulting his own party about social care.

So we end up with a tory party proposing to raise taxes to pay for the NHS and social care, and the labour party voting against it. Who saw that coming? Now Labour might well think that there is a fairer way to raise the money. Why haven't they told us? You would hope that they had given the matter some thought before Boris announced his so called plan.
