    She seems to live up to her name though. One day she may do x, the next day she may do y and today she may do something totally different altogether. Strong and stable lol.

    Of course given that the cost of capping costs will be 6billion quid (if we go by 2015 estimates) then perhaps she may wish to review some other pledges unless she has the money down the back of tbe sofa...

    Trusted on the economy I wouldn't trust em with my 6 year olds pocket money.

    Massive U turn regarding what might have to be paid. But be wary of the wording " will consider introducing a cap"
    not " we will introduce a cap".
    As Jim Royle might have said " Strong and stable my ar*e".

    Car crash.

    But it's a subject that needs addressing, probably and hopefully on a cross party basis.

    interesting though that the £100k thing is inheritance tax by any other name.......just targeted at one particular subject.

    Are you able to provide a critique of all party manifestos or do you just go for whichever isnthe guardian headline?

    Impossible to critique the Conservative one as they have not costed anything but a brief run through.

    Don't think I've quoted the Guardian

    Steal food from children.
    Rob from the dead (maybe)
    Hunt foxes.
    Reduce immigration (without explanation of how you cover the 6 billion costs)

    I didnt remember any link between the brexit vote and school meals, fox hunting and imposing massive inheritence tax increases by a back door.

    indirectly there may well be a huge cost to the country in leaving Europe and not the ridiculous £350million a week boost that some were dumb enough to believe, Didnt the brexiters promise we would be better off though so how have people voted for massive tax rises

    If you give the extreme right wing ******** power then you get extreme right wing policies..

    You'll remember at the time I warned about the implications of giving the extremists power. You'll also remember I was ridiculed on here not for the first time

    And not for the first I have been proved to be correct

    The Conservative Party have a paid advert that comes at the top of search results for "Dementia Tax" on Google. It would be unfortunate for their advertising budget if lots of people clicked on the link...

    Google also has interesting results for the search term "U Turn".

    The decrease in immigration numbers though linked is separate. 2015 figures from The Obr show that if the conservatives hit their target it will cost 6 billion quid. There's nothing to explain how we intend to pay for this.

    I actually agree with it, it's essentially an inheritance tax. The young people of this country shouldn't be burdened with paying for people who have the means to afford their own care. This is redistribution of wealth

    Haven't the people impacted already paid a lifetimes worth of National Insurance contributions?

    Aren't they being asked to pay twice?

    Why not ask cancer patients etc to make similar payments?

    If "No Deal is better than a bad deal", and "No Deal" means direct to WTO tariffs (12%) for all imports. A "No Deal" solution will cost every household in the country (per week based on average UK family spending 2016):

    £10 petrol (£70 per week 2016 +12% WTO tariff + VAT and fuel duty on top)
    £5 food (£70 per week, but 50% is UK which will have extra fuel costs on it)
    £4 fuel/power (£1344/year dual fuel)

    So, irrespective of anything else, a "No Deal" Brexit solution will cost the average family in the UK an extra ~£80 per month just for petrol, food and fuel. And I think we can all forget about the £20/month each that we are currently paying for our EU membership fees that our tax bills won't be reduced by.

    With an estimated six million JAM households in the UK, that is going to be a serious problem for a lot of people in the next few years.

    The average person's lifetime national insurance contributions amount to three fifths of bugger all.
