A PM’s Personal Fight for Social Care | Manchester News

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

New PM Andy Burnham shares a deeply moving moment when he visited his father in a care home—just six days after taking office—and reveals how his dad’s dementia, possibly linked to pandemic-era cancer treatments, fueled his mission to overhaul Britain’s broken social care system. He exposes the crushing financial and emotional toll on families, vows to end exploitative costs for vulnerable patients, and admits his own political setbacks made him tougher. His personal story is now the engine driving bold, public-facing reforms. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
