Susanna Reid’s ruthless questions on social care tied Gillian Keegan in cringeworthy knots
More than four years after Boris Johnson claimed to have a solution to the growing problem of inadequate social care provision, the sector is in an even greater state of crisis.
On Tuesday’s Good Morning Britain, Gillian Keegan was rolled out to defend the Government’s record to Susanna Reid. It did not go well.
Watch Susanna Reid skewer Gillian Keegan over social care
GK: We put in additional tax to specifically pay for social care
SR: The NI rise?
GK: Yes
SR: And your chancellor has just cut NI
GK: Yes.
SR: So you've literally cut away the support#GMB pic.twitter.com/qncVQmvxoI

Nobody could have predicted that 14 years after the Tories got into power, everyone would be 14 years older. Utterly baffling isn't it.#GeneralElectionN0W https://t.co/jnWXd8nIvq

Oh it'll be fine – they're not going to test care home residents leaving hospital for covid so I'm sure the problem will just go away…..
