Who said it

“No Conservative government wants to raise taxes. This new levy will break our manifesto commitment but a global pandemic wasn’t in our manifesto either” - Boris Johnson admits breaking an election promise as he announced a £12 billiona-year tax raid to address the funding crisis in health and social care.

“People are being grossly deceived because it goes to the health service first, not the social care, so it is not as he promised, which was resolving the problems with social care. This is simply a plan to ensure that people, primarily in the south and south-east, will retain more of their capital assets than they otherwise would” Carer Marie Stinson, who spent £65,000 refitting her home after her husband’s stroke, criticises the social care reform plans. “Our democratic mandate to allow people, not politicians, to decide the country’s future is beyond question. And at this juncture in history, it is essential that we consider the kind of country we want to be, and how best to secure it” - Nicola Sturgeon reiterates the Scottish Government’s plan to hold another independence referendum before the end of 2023.

“I live the racism every day, trust me I do. You don’t know what it’s like. To say ‘That is it, that is the end, there is nothing else for you’, that feels personal” - The Rev Yvonne Clarke, who was the first black woman to become a deacon in the Church of England, says plans to dissolve her south London parish feel “personal” as she battles to keep her job and home.
