Chancellor Jeremy Hunt squirmed this morning as he was confronted with his 2013 pledge to cap "unfair" costs for social care - the day after he shelved it in another devastating delay for families.
Mr Hunt, who yesterday delivered his controversial Autumn Statement, announced that a long-delayed plan for care homes, an £86,000 lifetime cap on how much anyone would need to pay for care - was delayed for two years.
It had been due to kick in from October next year, with the move prompting widespread criticism.
