@EdwardJDavey Caring you say ?

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

Don’t bet on that one mick!

[MichaelWhite @michaelwhite]

Steady on Essex Pat, you’re in an echo chamber with idiots like Don Monty. Burnham has done nothing to alarm you and his social care plans may help sad old gits like Don Monty. Most real Essex Patriots don’t think like you - as you’ll learn in the 2029 election

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

Don’t make me laugh!
They’re both a pair of state fed loony’s.

[MichaelWhite @michaelwhite]

Well, it’s ok to disagree, Geoff. That’s the point. Max made the only sensible choice in 2024, IMO though disappointing so far. But it may - may - prove a winner . Try this from a Tory grown up:

Oh my god

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Whether you choose construction, coding or classics, or maths, manufacturing or mechanics - Labour will build an education system where you’ll get the skills you need, and be given the respect you deserve.

You can all have your own rough sleeper carer!

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

NEW: Andy Burham sets out his plans for a national care service, telling his audience at a care home in London: "You probably have a feeling of deja-vu but don’t this time, because this time we’re going to do it."

1/ Louise Casey will bring forward her independent review into social care options by a year - it will now be published summer 2027: "If we have that independent review then I think we can rise to this challenge with the urgency it requires."

2/ ministers will immediately focus on social care workforce - fair pay agreement for staff will be "a massive building block" towards wider reforms to "lift up" workforce, bringing it closer to NHS standards & creating progress routes.

3/ wants cross party talks on plans: "Yes, I have been here before and yes, I do have some of the scars of that but it’s the right thing to do." PM says all sides have to "give and take" if a solution is to be found. "We're all going to have to listen to each other - something we don't do particularly well in politics. We're going to have to find common ground here."

@PolitlcsUK Nothing for working families who are trying to stand on their own two feet.

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

This bloke?
Dosnt he just make you want to puke!
He’s connived to be in the position.
He now realises the flannel is over
He is making excuses already
Because he has no plan.
He’s just another Labour cunt!

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

This is the issue governments keep putting off. That ends now.

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

The cost!! that’s it!

[Sam Coates Sky @SamCoatesSky]

As Andy Burnham gives his big speech on social care, what are the real challenges? Here’s our deep dive on the issue from earlier this month

Let’s see what we get!

[Nigel Farage @Nigel_Farage]

If Andy Burnham is serious about putting politics aside to solve Britain’s biggest problems, it’s remarkable that he’s chosen to ignore Reform.

He is conspiring behind closed doors with the failed political establishment to foist further tax rises on the country.

The fact Ed Davey and Kemi Badenoch are going along with this tells you all you need to know. This is the uniparty in action.

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

Beat the drum

[Shrodingers Borderline Normal @JeremyCordite]

@iancharris It is but it doesn't make enough money to skim off.

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

It’s called private enterprise of choice

[Eamon @pokeymarley]

@michaelwhite But he employed him for years FFS ….what are we to make of that & him…I’m afraid Hastings et al are fully responsible for allowing Johnson to prosper…

[Mel Stride @MelJStride]

The Government must not cover their social care reforms with yet more taxes.

They're already facing a new £24bn black hole in their spending plans.

And taxes are already higher than at any point in living memory.

The last thing Britain needs is a new tax.

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

She to busy building them new council houses.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I have written to Angela Rayner to demand the immediate implementation of rent controls.

Other countries control private rents. Why can't we?

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

It’s called choice.

[MichaelWhite @michaelwhite]

Third time unlucky for the Mail ? In 2010 Dacre College campaigned against social care reform promoted by health sec Burnham as “Death tax.” In 2017 Tory T May tried again, sunk by Mail as “dementia tax.” .2025 after further paralysis Mail can’t even think of new wrecking slogan

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

We have no country wide industries anymore?
What are doing carrying on with these obvious lies.
Oh yeah your a politician.

[Pat McFadden @patmcfaddenmp]

Meeting apprentices in Derby with @Andyburnham this morning.

We want more young people to have the chance to learn technical subjects from the age of 14 to take advantage of the jobs of the future.

Now… where did my hi-vis get to…?

[Stephen Houghton @SanGrownUn1]

@WasAcop Now would be a good time to Forensically Investigate @DavidLammy Legacy Expense claims up to present time as I find it too much of a coincidence that each year they Total so much but are also consistently between £150,000 & £180,000 whereby as working MP How! #ExtremeExtravagance

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

The man with the way forward!

[Helen Whately MP @Helen_Whately]

Whatever Andy Burnham thinks about welfare (does he think anything about welfare?)…

…reminder here, Labour MPs don’t back welfare savings.

In fact, they just want to tax people more - to spend more on benefits.

[steve dawson @stevedawson17]

I do believe you are just as much a hypocritical bastard as the other hypercritical bastards nothing changed.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Let’s stop telling young people there’s only one way to succeed.
