Close to the Next Election

To kick something into the long grass is to deliberately delay some issues with the hope it will end up being forgotten about.

That's NOT the case here at all.

It's a mess of being made over decades, you cannot sort a mess of that length and complexity in months.

However what I will concede is just how many reviews, commission, inquiries does this lot need to arrive at ANY action.
It is ridiculous.

Things do need to be done now and at the very least in the immediate future as to adult social care.

However again, it's extremely rich and in fact hypocritical for current past Con supporters screaming at this delay..
Utter hypocrisy.
Where was their hysterical screaming when even in 2019 Johnson said he had a plan ready to go on social care.
When he hadn't a solitary thing and did nothing either.
Except put up NI to the groans of his successor which was then reversed by the next successor.
With NOTHING done re adult social care at all.

There's no way however in my view, this lot can come back in Summer 2029 and not have addressed significantly the adult social care problem.
So this procedure in place needs speeding up considerably.
I'm pretty sure many Labour MPs and members will be more demanding it is too.
