Are social care plans a vote winner or loser? Boris Johnson’s former friend and colleague Nick Boles joins Laura, Adam and Chris from his holiday in Ibiza, to give his verdict on the government’s new tax for social care. He once proposed a very similar system himself.

Today’s Newscast was made by Caitlin Hanrahan with Maz Ebtehaj. Jonathan Aspinwall is the Editor.
