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.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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
