Many care workers are struggling to cope, with the average salary for a care worker being around £15,000 which is about half the UK average.

Older people in England who have to buy their own care spent more than £7 billion in the 12 months since Boris Johnson took office.

Age UK says that one and a half million older people in England now have some unmet need for care, one in seven of the entire older population.

People are now nearly three times more likely to be a victim of fraud than to be burgled, and nearly 19 times more likely to be a victim of fraud than to be mugged.
