There is an apparent concession by the government that it will be ringfenced for social care. But we all know that anything they say isn't worth a bean. Presumably they will just reduce the un-ringfenced part of the department budget to compensate...

NI is an absolutely shit tax

^ also this all day.

I can imagine this will be a cast iron ring fence.
I can also imagine any existing social care funding will be cut back 110% of whatever the NI rise will generate.
Fuck the government

It's not possible to ring fence like this. Any government can always change the law. It's bollocks

(Sorry, you are probably well aware, it just fucks me off as well)

Yup. I agree. Hence: Presumably they will just reduce the un-ringfenced part of the department budget to compensate...
