Boris Social care plan is bollocks if you have £100,000.00 of assets you could end up losing 80k of that. If you have £500,000.00 of assets you could end up losing, checks notes, 80k of that. This could simply come down to your post code. A 2 up 2 down costs a lot more in London than it does in the Red Wall (as was). You could quite easily have a retired postman in London who’s worked the same hours, same years, earned the same money as a postman in the Red Wall, both purchased their terraced homes in the 80’s, paid similar money at the time for them (relatively speaking) yet the property super boom in London means that the London postman pays less of a percentage of his total assets. Hence the he worked harder argument is bollocks.
