Rule out a double 'death tax' now to save social care, warns Simon Lambert

Simon Lambert warns that a double death tax must be ruled out to save social care. This follows the revival of Andy Burnham's National Care Service concept, an idea previously labelled as the death tax. Meanwhile, Robert Jenrick has urged Burnham to explicitly rule out tax rises to fund the long-awaited shake-up of social care, as the prime minister has not yet excluded the possibility of increasing taxes to finance these essential services.
