Government wins vote on increasing social care costs for the poorest (not compared with status quo but with what was expected) by just 26 votes, much less than its natural majority of circa 80. Big rebellion. Another embarrassment for @BorisJohnson on another bad day for him

Tory Whips called Ministers back from the Conservatives Winter Ball, charging £35,000 for dinner, to push through votes to make poorer households sell their home for social care while £1mil+ households are protected.

Asked how many people will now have to sell their homes as a result of the government's change to the social care cap, Boris Johnson's spokesman tells me that "I cannot predict personal circumstances."

I wonder what the outcome of the last election would have been if Boris Johnson had said no one will have to sell their home to pay for social care unless they are poor and live in the north https://t.co/YaTJZvjanm

Boris Johnson promised last year that everybody in the UK will "get the care they need in their old age but won't have to sell their home to pay for it."

When Sir Andrew Dilnot, who designed the Social Care proposals, backed by serious and senior MPs like @RobertBuckland, tells the government it should reconsider what it plans, it should listen. These are not serial rebels or attention seekers. ~AA https://t.co/yRkrJrpXst

Under @BorisJohnson’s planned social care charges, someone who owned a £1 million house would be able to protect over 90% of their asset – yet someone with a home worth £70k would lose almost everything.

Beautifully succinct summary by @BBCRosAtkins.pic.twitter.com/M8AC4k3z2U
There are two major obstacles preventing Tory MPs from admitting the truth about Johnson. First: he embodies 'Brexit' (which is also sh*t but they can't admit that to themselves yet). Second: they are psychologically repulsed by the idea of conceding that his critics were right.

6 months just to form the committee.

We need to talk more about the right's descent into political violence. That's the real lesson from Fox contributors quitting to protest Tucker's 1/6 agitprop. At its core it's an effort to destroy democracy. The more alarm about it the better. My latest:https://t.co/7WeSYtMDAi

I think that people need to re-align their understanding of what the January 6th insurrection really means, and especially what it will be used for. It's not going to be a vehicle for overthrowing the government.
