Douglas Alexander is using weasel words: £15bn to be saved by cuts in triple lock pension to pay for care by end of the decade BUT which decade, 2030 or 2024? Also ,who will actually provide the care as Labour (like other rightwing parties) is doing its best to stop immigrants coming here?

Burnham made a big noise about people having to sell their family home to pay for care. It's now clear that homes will still be sold to pay for living in a care home which could be thousands of pounds a month. Home care (feeding, washing, toileting) will be covered, at 1/2hr per day? No real change?

If Burnham's new formula for the basic state pension had been used in 2011 then using £102.15 a week in April 2011 as a base, and then applying the higher of CPI inflation or 2.5% each year, the BSP would be about £174.12 a week today: Roughly £10.78/wk less than the current £184.90, £560/year less.
