Labour wants to fix social care – but who will pay for it? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Grasp the nettle”, “rip the plaster off” – whatever metaphorical cliché you choose, Andy Burnham is serious about fixing social care. The Prime Minister used his big pre-conference interview with the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg to set out his vision for an NHS-style system for universal social care, free at the point of use and paid for by “everybody”. This issue, the PM stressed, was too important to ignore, to put in the “too difficult” basket and kick down the road as countless past politicians h
The battle for Britain's youth vote has begun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Assuming Andy Burnham does not call a snap election before the Representation of the People Bill makes it through its final stages, the next time British voters head to the polls for a general election they will be joined by 16- and 17-year-olds casting their very first ballots.

In the case of Thelma & Louise, a new adaptation directed by Trip Cullman at the Young Vic of the legendary 1991 film, the answer is some nice songs and a bit of line-dancing. It’s fun. It’s slick. It has heart-warming moments and the cast – especially the leads, Amy Lennox as the trampled housewife The
The anomalous delight of More Or Less (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does the loneliness epidemic, falling UK life expectancy, Andy Burnham’s “Manchester miracle”, the size of Wales, the moon’s impact on crime rates and the history of the modern calendar all have in common? No, these aren’t the inspiration for a newly imagined Britpop album – they’re all topics covered on the last season of Radio 4’s flagship statistical thriller More Or Less. When the BBC first came up with the idea back in 2001, it was envisioned as just six programmes, presented by the ec
