Is the can finally going to stop being kicked down the road on social care?
Andy Burnham has promised to correct what he has called a ‘dereliction of duty’ by a generation of politicians.
But how does he plan to succeed where so many before him have failed, can he pull it off and who is going to end up paying?
On this episode of the This is Money Podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert discuss how to solve a problem that has defeated successive governments and created a reverse lottery where the unlucky losers can see their wealth wiped out.
Meanwhile, there was no move for the Bank of England this week, as interest rates were held again, despite fears that the recent spike in energy prices could prompt another inflation shock. What does it all mean for our money?
Plus, would you haggle at a high street store? Our man Toby Walne did, so what happened?
And finally, is Britain’s beach hut boom over?
