The Conservatives have just announced that anyone needing long term home care will face the prospect of losing the right to pass on any assets over £100,000, including their home, to their family.
The Liberal Democrats have announced that they will invest nearly £7 billion in schools and colleges over the next parliament. The funding would reverse cuts to frontline school and college budgets, protect per pupil funding in real terms and ensure no school loses out from the National Funding Formula. It will be paid for by reversing the cuts to corporation tax.
The NHS and Social Care would receive an extra £6 billion a year from the Liberal Democrats to plug funding gaps in these services. It would be paid for by putting a penny on income tax.
We do not need another Conservative Prime Minister lurching from crisis to crisis, we need a general election.

This Conservative government has brought the NHS to its knees and patients are paying the price.
