10:33 pm
impact and supermarket stores with all the empty shells. but the story actually covers a wide range of different professions that essentially in crisis. in terms of the shortages. and that includes care homes as well and the social sector. this is basically a combination between the pandemic but also brexit is being blamed for it. both with the drivers and the shopping shortages there. also with care workers because we know that a lot of them are eastern europeans obviously used to work quite heavily in that sector. a combination of that. the staffing crisis is something that labour particularly has criticised obviously with the government and hopefully with something that we can resolve, brexit aside.— brexit aside. the government recently told _ brexit aside. the government recently told a _ brexit aside. the government recently told a ticket - brexit aside. the government recently told a ticket was - brexit aside. the government| recently told a ticket was lorry driver companies, hire more british

10:35 pm
pay for social care. of course it's hard to focus on that headline if you look at it in one go and not try to look at the abba people tested cyber soldiers to the right. nevertheless we will focus on that tax rise for 25 million people for social care. in greek care we are told that the government promised to the amount an individual will ever pay in social care costs. might even be known as a social care premium. will it work? i be known as a social care premium. will it work?— will it work? i think that is the only option — will it work? i think that is the only option they've _ will it work? i think that is the only option they've got - will it work? i think that is the only option they've got left, i only option they've got left, really. they try to find a silver lining somewhere in this. this is actually a break in the prime ministers manifesto pledge. we know that within the conservative party when they were all running some 28 social care was something that was brought up as a huge topic during all of the debate. what they're trying to do really is tackle the impact of the pandemic particularly with nhs waiting lists and making sure that social care does not fall

short. also the previous story that talked about staff shortages there is probably going to be quite a lot of investment in terms of trying to train people up. maybe they are here to try and combat the impact of brexit. but this is a massive u—turn for the prime minister but i don't think it's good to be a massive surprise to most people given the impacts of brexit. i think that a lot of people social care aside are going to be expecting in the next couple of years to basically brace themselves for the impact of what themselves for the impact of what the pandemic is going to bring in terms of tax rises. especially with the amount of people that have been on furlough. i think everybody right now isjust on furlough. i think everybody right now is just waiting to see what's nextin now is just waiting to see what's next in terms of the amount of rises that will come for everybody in their day—to—day life it really matters what taxes are called, is in a? ., matters what taxes are called, is in a? . , ., ., ., a? tax rise for 25 million, that something _ a? tax rise for 25 million, that something everyone _ a? tax rise for 25 million, that something everyone will - a? tax rise for 25 million, that something everyone will think| a? tax rise for 25 million, that - something everyone will think they particularly don't want to pay your

10:40 pm
have to reflect that. your thoughts. it is a massive wake—up call. i think with pictures like this whether it's to do with any crisis or climate change, when you see the impact and the human side of it particularly using a child in the image, it really is a reminder that if we don't get a hold of this, it is children that he could be affected in the future. and as adults we kind of bang on about we need to do something about it, without these targets for 2030 and 2035, 2050. but it is a sobering image and it shows that climate change doesn't discriminate. we saw the floods that happened in germany. we see the impacts of climate change in our day—to—day lives. some of us are lucky we don't have severe impacts like seen in this picture. but it really does bring it home that this is something that could affect any of us. and the people that you have children, it affect your children in the future. let’s

10:44 pm
also might not be able to get what you want when you go in the shots on the shelves because of the same reasons as well. it really is coming from every direction. but hopefully this is something that can be tackled from a government level. because it seems as if it's notjust a uk —based problem it's also going to be affecting quite a few countries in europe as well. you've also not countries in europe as well. you've also got to — countries in europe as well. you've also got to pay _ countries in europe as well. you've also got to pay roof _ countries in europe as well. you've also got to pay roof repairs - countries in europe as well. you've also got to pay roof repairs after i also got to pay roof repairs after all the rain. how much more difficult is it to be in the winter with these potential price rises? i think we need to see this against the bigger round of soaring inflation. inflation is something that we — inflation. inflation is something that we used to talk about and be worried _ that we used to talk about and be worried about about 13 years ago. nohody— worried about about 13 years ago. nobody has really been very much concerned — nobody has really been very much concerned about it sense. but as a result _ concerned about it sense. but as a result of— concerned about it sense. but as a result of the pandemic and supply shortages throughout the world with all kinds _ shortages throughout the world with all kinds of materials and labour we are going _ all kinds of materials and labour we are going to see prices rise.
