The Bear, on the continuing failure to address the social care crisis & its impact on the NHS:

'Flu is here five weeks early this year. The politics are decades out of date. Unless something changes very soon - loudly & unapologetically - this winter will not be the worst we’ve ever seen. It will be the winter that snapped the NHS in half'!

And if the NHS really does 'snap' this winter, Labour will not be able to place all the blame on the Tories!
