Doubly enjoying this. Hammering France and I’ve saved $20,000 not heading out to watch us lose to Spain😂😢

Burnham’s promise to ‘expend quite a lot of political capital’ on social care will raise hopes that have been repeatedly dashed before in recent years. Theresa May’s botched ‘dementia tax’, Boris Johnson’s pledge to ‘fix’ social care, Matt Hancock promising to give it parity with the NHS, Labour’s 2024 manifesto which ended up offering glacial change. The sector told me during Covid-19 that perhaps its value had finally been recognised. Six years on… no major reform has come.
