And now LBC are complaining that the rich won't pay as much if there is a cap....

Not sure why sitting people in the corner and forgetting to feed them costs £50k a year?
Prison care costs less than that.

and you a contractor?

Obviously the reason is that the Government pays one or two home care mega-corporations say £2000 a week per caree, and these companies then hire zero hours contract temps, probably unqualified, and pay them a minimum wage of a tenth that to actually do all the work.

FTFY

No change

There is no cap. A cap will be part of the consultation already mentioned. ;-)

How stable is it to make a U-turn at that kind of speed?

It is strong

[BlasterBates]

Theresa May caved in, in a "strong and stable" way.

Bodes well for the Brexit talks, where I think we can expect quite a lot of unexpected "strong and stable" U-Turns.

Shows how competent they are when they publish a manifesto without seemingly any market research beforehand. How hard is it for them to pop down the nearest Conservative Club and see what the reaction is from their core voters.

I re-iterate my viewpoint that they don't want to win the election. Let Labour worry about how to deal with brexit.

Cameron didn't hang around after the vote was to leave, and May is now wanting to find some other mug to throw the hot potato at. Sometimes the puppet doesn't like the strings they attach, even though they only use suckers.

Thing is, May does not want to depend on old Tory voters who she will help to die out with reduction in winter allowance, so she is betting on robbing the very people who elected Tory Scum and who voted for Brexit in order to give some handouts to "worker" class voters of Labour.

Poetic justice really.
