The new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, successor to Keir Starmer, has invited the leaders of the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats to talks on reforming social care in England. Kemi Badenoch and Ed Davey are set to discuss addressing the long-term funding crisis, which Burnham has described as one of the main priorities since arriving at Downing Street. forum24.cz ↗
The Prime Minister has previously warned that without rapid change, the healthcare system could face serious pressure, and pledged to use his political capital to push through reform. However, the new proposals run into the question of money. British press reports have indicated that health officials are preparing a possible levy of 1.8 percent on earnings to fund social care. At the same time, the Conservatives and Reform UK are refusing to support a plan based on higher taxes or further borrowing. svet.sme.sk ↗
Budgetary pressure is also being increased by developments following the war with Iran. Analysts warn that higher oil prices and inflation could narrow the government's room for maneuver ahead of the budget and force it to choose between raising taxes and making cuts. One think tank warned that Burnham has no room for higher borrowing, even though he has announced several measures against rising living costs since taking office. BBC News ↗
Alongside social care, the government has also presented a plan for technical education from age 14 and wants to better align schools with local labor markets. Burnham also received Volodymyr Zelensky as the first foreign leader and confirmed the continuation of British support for Ukraine. Further developments will depend largely on whether the Prime Minister can secure a broader political agreement without opening a new dispute over taxes. STVR (Spravy) ↗
