In Scotland, there is free personal care for all adults in need. This covers help with personal hygiene, continence, diet, mobility and simple treatments. The upper threshold for residential care is £35,000. In England, social care is fully means-tested and the upper capital limit is only £23,250.

Labour. The party who think that pensioners should pay for everyone else whilst the very wealthy avoid any tax hikes. But, hey, of course Scottish pensioners should pay for English social care. The broad shoulders of the union? What next? Compulsory euthanasia for everyone at retirement age? 🤔

Implicit in this argument is the idea that UK is some kind of standard to aspire to not the basket case it really is, economically and politically, where millions regularly go hungry and the RNLI is attacked for saving immigrant lives. There are huge gains to be made from independence.

Most of Burnham's promises were for policies to be introduced after the next GE, the national care service, reform of the voting system, closer ties with the EU, all put off until after the next GE - political code for ‘never’. It was a very traditional Labour speech, the jam is always tomorrow.

Pensioners in Scotland, Wales and the North of Ireland having their pensions clipped to fund an English care system. Of course it has to be after 2030 as the 24 GE manifesto specifically pledged to retain the triple lock. What do pensioners outwith England get in return?

Well, well, well - if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions. It would appear that migrants are not, in fact, the fiscal drain we’ve been told they are by years if we go by the £4bn to £6.5bn shortfall that’s been caused by the precipitous drop in numbers under this government. Funny that.
