One option is uncapping the council tax social care precept. Currently capped at 2% annual rise, it’s been less unpopular than feared (I hardly recall any constituency letters & colleagues generally agree). But soaring council tax bills to pay for soc care would change that. — PolitiTweet.org

As Chx, Philip Hammond managed to fund the £20 bn rise in the NHS annual budget, which I negotiated with him in 2018, without raising taxes. But given post-pandemic public finances £7+ bn is is likely to be too much for any Chancellor to find down the back of a Treasury sofa. — PolitiTweet.org

Another option is to remove exemption for pensioners to pay NI. Logical as they’re the biggest winners from more ££ - but only raises £0.5 bn a year, & also breaches a manifesto promise. After Philip Hammond's attempted changes to NI this would be 'brave', in Sir Humphrey’s words — PolitiTweet.org
