Watch live as Boris Johnson announces controversial social care plans

Prime minister Boris Johnson is addressing MPs on his plans to change Britain’s ‘broken’ social care system.

The PM will defy critics in the Cabinet and announce a £10billion tax raid to bail out the NHS and reform social care.

Mr Johnson will insist it is the only way to end ‘catastrophic’ care bills and said: “We must act now to ensure the health and care system has the long-term funding it needs to continue fighting Covid and start tackling the backlogs”.
