Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick is pressuring Prime Minister Andy Burnham to pledge no tax hikes for adult social care, proposing instead to fund reforms by slashing foreign aid and migrant benefits—calling new taxes a “death tax.” Burnham, while reviewing current budgets and not yet ruling out tax increases, insists his goal is to stop people from selling homes to pay for care, and has sped up a major social care review due next summer. He’s also prioritizing better pay and training for care workers using existing funds. Jenrick argues that hiring more British staff and cutting waste is the only way to fix the system without burdening taxpayers.
