Care plan reforms were easily defensible but no-one from the Tory side wanted to defend them. I'm not saying it was the right policy but it is arguably better than the current situation.
But one whiff of a hostile press and Theresa May went straight from headline to U-turn. From strong and stable to weak and wobbly. |

say it again 99% of people who,d be effected by this policy. like inheritance tax will have taken measures to make sure they don't get caught in the net,even if the bill passed the money raised wouldn't even be a fig leaf to cover the cost of social care, now if someone had brought in a bill saying houses passed on to kids to avoid inher tax would be sold I could see the outcry

May made a basic error in that she. thought that giving an INCREASE, from £23000 to £100,000, in the amount you would keep after care fees would be gratefully received. However, not many voters knew about it in the first place - only the people currently affected. So older people who had saved and bought their own home and their family who would hope to inherit were disgusted. Also all the people currently getting home free were also horrified. No Tory, when interviewed, confirmed the reality of the new calculation. They all referred to the increase to £100,000 from £23,000 of monies retained after paying for residential care. What they didn't state was the value of persons home would now be included in the calculation of care in the persons home. Of the 15 million people over 65, only 300,000 are in residential care. So all needing care in their own home, their house value would be stripped down to £100,000max ( total assets). |

its a shameful and dangerous policy, she deserved to lose the election for that alone.
Would have voted labour only for the fact of Corbyns Sinn Fein/IRA tendencies. |

Her abject performances on the stump and on TV, and her supine refusal to take part in any debates did for her as much as any policy.
