Why is their defence of anything that is questioned "world class or world leading " when it clearly isn't

Trying to fix this fucked Mayday's chances up

PM set to back tax rise for 25 million Brits to pay for care reform

The Prime Minister is expected to announce as early as next week that National Insurance must be increased to tackle the crisis in elderly care -breaking a pledge in his election manifesto.

Another manifesto pledge broken.

We pay whilst his mates steal our money.

So the elderly care crisis gets fixed by making only younger people pay more (rather than rich pensioners paying more tax).

Pandering to wokery - Dowden, as well as being a grown up is supposed to be a Govt Minister yet has to resort to playground style name calling to make his point - maybe he understands only too well how dumb that audience is

Of course the poor must pay after all it is them that will need it. Can’t expect the rich to pay for it can you? Why do you think it has taken so long? If it was benefiting the rich it would have been sorted years ago.

I’m just going to take the simple view…..it’s because they are lying con-men.
I may be wrong about that ……………
But I’m not.

This is a party more than a decade into its reign that has doubled the national debt (pre-pandemic); given a vast increase in homelessness; the lowest state pension in Europe; the collapse of social care; soaring violence on our streets; the highest death toll in Europe, despite being an island; broken promises on housebuilding; 29m views of its leader's lies; cash for lobbying; unlawfully awarded contracts; peerages for donations and now the debacle of Afghanistan and empty supermarket shelves. When will the nation wake up?

The fragmented nature of this dis-united Kingdom and the first past the post system, means that two thirds of the country could wake up and it wouldn't make the slightest difference.

When the parliamentary lines were redrawn it made it more difficult for Labour or the Liberals to gain seats in the house.
The conservatives promised us Brexit and now we see there true colours, pension’s and social care will be hammered but the electorate don’t want to pay for it. Its easier to increase tax on the rich messing with the old and the sick is wrong

There is, allegedly, £21 trillion held offshore in the British territories and one in four major UK companies paying zero tax. If tackled, there would be no need for Joe Public to be leeched from once more. Until everyone pays their fair share, we are not in this together; social care should be a right, it is not something that should depend on your wealth.
