Older people who helped make this country what it is, and who are now seeing their life savings wiped out to pay for care, deserve more than a paltry 9 words in the Queens Speech.
Mr Johnson needs to wake up to the fact we cannot build a better country as we emerge from this awful pandemic without a decent system of social care. After the horror of what happened in care homes during COVID-19 this should have been the Prime Minister’s top priority, not once again kicked into the long grass. Our elderly people deserve better.
