Tories Target Pensioners' Savings to Fund Social Care

The transcript discusses the political strategies of David Cameron and Theresa May regarding pension policies. Cameron's policies aimed to secure the grey vote, while May's plans involve pensioners contributing more to their care, potentially losing universal benefits. The controversial policy swaps a cap on social care bills for a floor, allowing pensioners to retain £100,000 in assets. This has caused alarm among the elderly, as it resembles an inheritance tax for those needing substantial care. The video explores public reactions, particularly in the Northwest, and May's strategy to appeal to working-class voters despite potential backlash from traditional Tory supporters.
