Would be really interested to hear the answer to any of these questions! Will people need to move into state care homes after they hit the cap? Are there even close to enough care places for that? Is the government going to nationalise care homes? Send me your best guesses!
But for those who will be him in a few years, there's no sense of how this will work. If you have your loved one in an expensive private home, will the government continue to pay those costs after £86k? Or will you be forced to move them to a cheaper home? [3/8]
It’s been a year since I joined the politics team at BBC Westminster (Millbank) so I’ve looked through the hard drives and created a bit of a mashup. It's my celebration of working with brilliant, generous and supportive people throughout an incredibly shite period. All BBC.
Just seen Parasite. Absurdly, insanely, astonishingly good. Jaw on floor.
Services should be publically owned so they work better for everybody - but that doesn't mean the railways would be better off being run by Grant Shapps or Chris Grayling. Public ownership has to mean giving the public the power to run services, not just more power for Whitehall.
Maybe this, rather than shuffled ministers, ought to lead the news?
BREAKING: The number of women & girls murdered in England/Wales has increased to its highest level for 14 years. There were 241 female victims of murder, manslaughter & infanticide in 12 months to end of March 2019, up 10% on the previous year and the highest total since 2005-06.
ANNOUNCEMENT: As a family, we are proud of Mike and we stand by him. The stories which shall be released in the press against him are completely false. It's a shame this has become such a familiar routine with the British press, and how eager they are to see Black men fail.
Nerds Assemble!
Bit of a morning announcement for you all: the team for "The British General Election of 2019" is expanding. @p_surridge and @ProfTimBale are joining @drjennings and myself to make sense of this extraordinary, landmark election for @palmacpolitics next year.
Disclaimer 👉 During the General Election there are no MPs and I do not hold the office of MP for Bury St Edmunds. Any references to MP on this page predate the dissolution of Parliament.
