  Ah, this must be another definition of the word 'grilled' that I wasn't previously aware of...

  If you end up in a care home, you’ll still have to sell your house to pay their fees.

  Why does no interviewer ever call out these MPs over Members of Parliament (MPs) in the UK who can claim expenses for utility bills—including gas, electricity, heating fuel, and water—strictly for their official constituency offices or a registered secondary work accommodation

  Not being funny Andy, I gave up work to look after my Father, Mother-in-law and Father-in-law with minimal help from government. Care is not just about sticking parents in homes. Thousands of us do this care work day in day out, where's the help for them???????

  Blaming other countries for our energy and the government time and time again destroyed our energy infrastructure to make room for net zero, all along saying it will be cheaper, they keep going on the same road that's killing this country. Not a word about sorting it out in this government's time in office.

  The care package will not include Residential Care , and thats where the biggest problems are with costs .   The withdrawal of the triple lock will be nowhere near enough to fund what he's proposing .
