He said on R4 Today that he needs Cross party talks with Tories and Reform to find a "Grown up policy". Presumably he thinks the LP policy it was elected on was childish?
When will this government understand its accountable and start to show leadership and responsibility by making decisions rather than heading off into the spurious long grass on no-excuse of ‘consensus’!?
Sadly they don’t yet have a plan which is why they think a new commission makes sense.
It does, accept that the delay is causes will break a decimated sector yet further.
Well you've got your wish on the absence of a "rushed shambles" front. All he's done is kick the issue into the long grass, with a commission that won't report until 2028. Wes is proving all his critics spot on. Hopeless.
Labour's government lacks the cash to sort the issue? Starmer axed vowed income levy hikes on the rich and rejects a wealth tax. The NHS allocates up to 1 in 3 hospital beds to medically fit people without care in the community. Millions will still wait for treatment. Disgrace.
Heartfelt empathy for BBC Rafio 5 Live callers with parents abused by £2,000-3,000 a week "care" homes. Judge the government on its compassion for the most vulnerable. The pensioners' slashed fuel aid and WASPI sellout. The two-child benefit cap. Not broken, finished Britain, under Labour.
Really complex and difficult issues so we’ll just kick it down the road and if we manage to get re elected we’ll look at it again. Absolutely shameful.
Labour has a perfectly good costed plan for a National Care Service from 2019, but it rolls back privatisation, rather than creating more of it as Streetings investors require.

A liar, coward and a tory.
He's been a shadow health secretary for years. Why doesn't he have a plan???
Tories had 14 years..
It does, accept that the delay is causes will break a decimated sector yet further.
I’m optimistic Labour will sort it out.
More disappointment from Labour.
Keep going Wes.
