Social Care is affordable in the UK. Just not Privatised Social Care. Currently a Social Care Worker is paid £12.60 an hour. The Council is charged £33.20 an hour. A huge amount of this is profit which goes completely untaxed. As you can see this will NEVER be affordable.

🤔 Re Burnham's speech, why can't the govt (via some sort of publicly owned fund or bank) just start building up stakes in publicly listed utility companies over time and thereby renationalise them in instalments spreading the cost over time? In short, use the market to kill the market, by stealth...

The depressing thing about these polls isn’t movement (or lack thereof) of parties – it’s that UK politics now appears to be “doing a USA”, in the sense the voters are evenly split between “massive shitheads” and “everyone else”. I just hope when a GE rocks up that Ref/Con still despise each other.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.
