Labour's Social Care Commission proposals are a recipe for delay and should be boycotted by charities and the opposition parties until a realistic timetable is agreed which ensures radical change in this Parliament. Listen to our reasoning on this video. youtu.be/-TeiuO6-HHI

The Triple Lock increase has been completely wiped out by the massive rises in household bills and the majority of older people are now having this state pension rise taxed, because they have small private pensions. This Government looks increasingly ageist as it turns its head

Social Care Reform, Government foot-dragging continues! Promised to start in April, the Casey Commission on the social care crisis shows no signs of getting underway. Preliminary meetings with the Opposition parties due in February have not taken place and the membership of the

Labour must change its whole attitude towards older people if the party wants to stop losing. The most mentioned issue on the doorsteps was scrapping the winter fuel payment and we have also been betrayed on social care reform and WASPI compensation.
