That Starmer fella...

Starmer bravely walking back on another one of his leadership campaign promises: https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/labour-says-calling-for-free-social-care-would-just-give-tories-a-stick-to-beat-us-with/

But yesterday (Wednesday), a Labour spokesperson refused to say why the party had gone back on Starmer’s support for the NILSS motion; refused to say why the references to free social care were removed from the social care composite motion document; refused to provide the source for Debbonaire’s claim that free social care would cost £100 billion and more than the NHS budget; refused to say if the party agreed with her that calling for free social care would give the Tories a stick to beat Labour with, and that it would lose the party the next election; refused to say what the party’s message was to disabled people and allies who were fighting for free social care; and refused to say why Labour was not willing to fight for disabled and older people’s right to free social care.
