Tories and Reform UK tell Burnham they will fight any plan to reform adult social care involving tax rises – UK politics
Yesterday Wes Streeting, the defence secretary, told Sky News that, while Andy Burnham spent his first week as PM focusing on cost of living issues, this week the public would see “a prime minister that runs towards big and difficult issues rather than runs away from [them]”. The BBC put the full interview on iPlayer at 6am this morning, and there is a write-up on the BBC’s website here.Burnham is due to give a speech on social care on Wednesday, but he is due to be addressing other problem issues this week as well.
