Social care is in desperate need of funding reform but any plan to increase national insurance payments will face criticism, as it is likely to disproportionately hit millions of younger people.

The prime minister is expected to announce a rise in national insurance payments to fund social care, despite this being a breach of the 2019 Tory manifesto.

Both newspapers said national insurance is the favoured approach but there are varying reports of how much the rise could be.

Just keep putting taxes up and then continue to waste money in the NHS and social care black hole. I’m sure the additional burden of excessive immigration is playing it’s part !

Isn’t it time that the Conservatives chose a conservative leader.

This was always on the cards - however the profiteering of care home owners and the lack of effective ring fencing of funds intended for specific purposes must be addressed.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul again then! What about the billions they’ve wasted and continue to waste eg. a poxy yacht!!

It is a mistake - or rather a deliberate ruse - to argue that extra NHS spending has to be paid out of a rise in tax. Spending on the NHS generates economic activity (the NHS buys goods and services, staff spend their pay), which then raises more tax anyway.

BorisJohnson pledged in his manifesto that he wouldn’t raise the rates of income tax, National Insurance or VAT. This is why you should never trust a Tory, scum of the earth and only care about the wealthy. How many more broken promises Boris. Keir_Starmer over to you

online trading tax and delivery tax would be better .

I'd quite like to see the reform plan some time soon tbh!

Conservative Unionist National Taxation Stimulant or C.U.N.T.S for short!!

And yet we spend billions building a pointless railway line and discovering other planets. Let’s fix this one first.

How much money is spent from the NHS funding on translators for non-English speaking attendees? BorisJohnson sajidjavid That incudes Hospitals, Doctors, Dentists etc BBCNews itvnews GBNEWS

How many more lies BorisJohnson? Manifesto says no rise in NI, Tax or VAT!! Typical Tory Lies. Typical Boris Lies!

Manifestos need to be a legally binding document. They can't say they will/ won't do something then go against it. Eventually people need to be held accountable for lying in elections

Ying bastars

We already get stung for additional payment for social care in our council tax bills!! Of course its only those of us that actually work and who pay council tax that have to stump up for this. Enough now. Close all the tax loop holes for the likes of Amazon and google!!!

I've always believed real leaders found solutions to the many problems we face not create even more of them. That manifesto must be falling apart at the seams.

So u won't be forcing property sales then when elderly need care

First I want to see which Tory donors got billions for PPE.

No money for social care but £100bn for trident renewal, £37bn for an app that doesn't work, countless billions on dodgy contracts for their mates, billions for vanity projects like hs2. The working person gets shafted again.

Seems like a no brainer really. If what we usually put in via National Insurance keeps the NHS ticking over through the normal times, obviously there is going to be a massive deficit that needs to be paid for after a pandemic.

So we have to pay more£ NOT to be able to see a doctor

Why when you can afford to send £30M abroad. Why should we continue to fund the governments f*** ups? Better still, tax the big pharma more, I'm sure they've made plenty of money over the last couple of years whilst the tax payers will be footing the bill for the furlough schemes
