Is raising taxes the best solution to fix the UK’s social care crisis? – BBC Newsnight
Plans to overhaul social care in the UK have been delayed, as there are rumours the government is considering a 1% increase to national insurance to fund the system. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
Plans to overhaul the social care system in the UK have been shelved until the autumn.
Two years ago Boris Johnson stood on the steps of Downing Street promising his plan to fix the social care crisis was ready to go.
The government is also rumoured to be considering a 1% increase to national insurance to fund the system.
What are we prepared to pay to fund social care? And would an increase to national insurance be the best solution?
Newsnight’s political editor Nick Watt and economics editor Ben Chu report. Emily Maitlis is joined by Sir Andrew Dilnot, who led the 2011 review into social care, pollster for Theresa May James Johnson and CEO of the National Care Forum, Vic Rayner.

Thousands of opposition supporters marched through Delhi to India’s Supreme Court to demand the election chief resign over alleged electoral roll fraud.
Monday’s “March for Democracy” was the latest in a series of demonstrations, with thousands of security forces deployed and roads barricaded in the capital. Thousands of protesters were detained over the weekend.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi submitted a petition to the court challenging the process, in which tens of millions of names have been struck off the voter rolls.
Opposition parties allege the revision benefits Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Election Commission and the BJP reject the charge.

Websites have been taken down worldwide after critical weaknesses were revealed in a programming language which powers much of the internet. Governments and agencies are urging websites to address the problem immediately.
The vulnerabilities were found within the PHP programming language. The flaws were discovered by AI, with cyber-security experts saying were the most severe vulnerabilities ever discovered by the technology, which is reshaping the cyber-security landscape.
The US National Security Agency issued a warning for organisations to take their systems offline if they are unable to immediately apply a fix, which has now been issued. The governments of France and Finland were among those ordering shut down of some web services, along with many private organisations around the world. Japan’s prime minister urged people to check if their publicly-accessible websites ran on PHP.
The vulnerabilities were discovered by cyber-security researchers at the firms Calif and Wiz and were part of a program started by the internet firm OpenAI, called Patch the Planet. They discovered the issue after being given access to the AI company’s advanced AI tools, in order to find and fix flaws in web development language.
OpenAi said the discovery was “one of the most impactful security issues in recent memory”. The flaws had gone undetected for more than a decade. It’s estimated that around 70% of the internet could be vulnerable to the threat.
It had been intended to release details of the issue later this month along with a fix, or software patch, for the problem. However details of the flaw were leaked on social media, forcing PHP Foundation, the organisation that supports use of the programming language, to rush out an announcement of the vulnerability and its huge scale.

Undercover: Solicitor offers to help ‘mini-mart owner’ dodge fine for illegal worker | BBC News
A solicitor has been secretly filmed by the BBC explaining how he could make a £45,000 illegal working fine go away.
Mohammad Alias Yousaf – also known as Alias – made the claim to an undercover reporter, who was posing as a mini-mart owner facing a fine for employing an illegal worker.
The Bradford-based solicitor told his potential client he could avoid paying the fine if our undercover reporter could find someone overseas prepared to declare themselves the owner of the mini-mart.
Alias has denied ever providing such advice to anyone or giving false information to the Home Office.
At least £150m is currently owed to the government in uncollected illegal working fines, according to Home Office figures obtained by the BBC.
In response to our investigation, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced a review of the way illegal working fines are issued and collected.

Why do people use social system to bully and threaten people????
We must be able to live OUR lives as we are.
Why do so many people seemingly having rights over other people. Rights to say what happens to them and their children. These people who have never met them. these people who hear or think things and see that as truth when it's not, it's not truth it's a thought, a Chinese whisper. what makes it ok for a person to tell another or take from another what is not theirs to take. Why is someone who studies another's work considered a professional when someone who studies life itself isn't? why?????

What lies by the Tories – National Insurance Tax on low and middle salary earners in Uk ( 25 million people ) to fund socialcare .Quarter of 65+ have over £1 million of property assets and young earners 45 below can not get onto property ladder and renting – Why should the Wealthy Pensioners in South ( Tory Voters ) benefit from Working people in rest off the country North west / midlands /North east .The Care system should be Means Tested paid for by Wealth Pensioners – rather then passing onto relatives/Families -why should rest of us pay for there care when they have Money . Wealth TAX
