Don't forget to click on their promoted links - it costs US hard cash when you do that

Remember the Brexit leaflet.

If you need care, you need to pay for it. So that means either a 5p or so on income tax or some other means of ensuring people have a means of paying..

But Dilcott had considered this and was coming out with a viable way to do it.

This is the only area in life where you're on your own when it comes to arranging and paying for a major life-changing event.

Remember the Brexit leaflet.

That was government spending. This is party spending.

And for the avoidance of doubt: those cows are far away

It's the people in the middle who will be squeezed which is where everyone is complaining.

If you are very rich like the Duke of Westminister you will put everything in trust and avoid paying.

If you are poor so have no assets the state has no choice but to pay.

Reports of the expected U Turn coming in already ...

Could this be a Yes Minister Sir Humphrey type crafty ploy to announce some dire sounding policy, only to obtain kudos from relieved voters when a subsequent U-turn is announced withdrawing it? Seems possible, although it would rather spoil Theresa May's self-declared "strong and stable" image.

Also, a common factor in these yoyo policy announcements and U-turns seems to be Philip Hammond. So doubtless he's for the chop after the election!

Fingers crossed. Can't stand the man, proper Tory Wet, Spitting Image would have had a field day with him.
