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

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

Then there is a new levy, perhaps set at around 1% of income. This could raise £6 bn+ immediately, actually more than the social care system needs or could cope with right away. But there is somewhere that does need that funding right away... — PolitiTweet.org
