  • There is an apparent concession by the government that it will be ringfenced for social care

    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)

  • Any government can always change the law

    Or the government writing the ringfencing legislation can just write it so it’s so full of holes that it’s meaningless - in the interests of efficiency and in case someone later decides not to amend it how they like... This lot have a track record for legislation so bad it’s ridiculous anyway. And that’s when they mean it…
