WHEN Boris Johnson became Prime Minister in July 2019, he stood on the steps of Downing Street and announced that he had prepared a plan to “fix the social care crisis once and for all.”
After waiting 775 days we are finally about to see it. Though it is not what many had hoped for, least of all Conservative Party MPs. Tory backbenchers are in uproar over reports that the Prime Minister plans to raise national insurance to pay for increased funding for social care.
This would clearly break the Conservative Party’s 2019 manifesto commitment not to raise taxes. That is the pledge every Tory election candidate made to the British people. Now many of them are worried about the consequences of Boris’s betrayal.
