Video 2: the impact of the cuts to social care:
This brief video, made for Reclaim Social Care, outlines the impact of the cuts to social care. It ends with a plea to avoid voting Tory – sadly, that aspect is redundant now. The Tories have pledged more money for social care and that is likely to make a difference. But not enough to change things significantly on its own. And as the IFS says, austerity is “baked in” to a swathe of Tory plans.
