Prime minister faces backbench rebellion over controversial plans to scale back the cap
Boris Johnson has been warned not to take the support of his MPs for granted, as he faces a backbench rebellion over controversial plans to scale back the social care cap, after a tumultuous fortnight at Westminster.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) caused alarm on Thursday when it revealed it would calculate the £85,000 cap on lifetime care costs in a way that could leave tens of thousands of England’s poorest pensioners paying the same as wealthier people.
