The prime minister's Sunday morning BBC interview set hares running when it comes to the future of a policy once seen as politically untouchable.
The timing of the PM's new social care plan sparked suggestions the government could be about to signal the death knell to the state pension triple lock after 16 years.
Andy Burnham said he will put forward tough decisions to fund a new national care service as part of Labour's next general election manifesto, seeking a mandate to make the changes next Parliament.
