Burnham says Starmer's tax lock means free care must wait
Andy Burnham said on Sunday Labour's manifesto pledges not to raise income tax, national insurance or VAT made free social care hard to deliver in this parliament. He will instead put an NHS-style care service to voters at the next election, with Louise Casey's review filling in the details. He admitted it might make him unpopular but said somebody had to grasp the nettle.
