Burnham to seek cross-party consensus over urgent reforms to social care

Andy Burnham is seeking cross-party consensus to implement urgent reforms for the adult social care crisis in England, which he claims governments have failed to tackle for decades. The prime minister has invited Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch to discuss resolving this intractable funding issue. While both parties are expected to be represented, Farage was not invited. Burnham intends to prioritise problem-solving over point-scoring to establish a viable long-term strategy.
