A cap on "punitive" costs will form part of the Government's social care reforms, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said. In a move that would reverse the controversial and electorally damaging decision to ditch a cap from the Conservative election manifesto, Mr Hunt said it would be reinstated to help spread the risk posed by the "illness lottery" of conditions such as dementia. In his first speech since he took responsibility for a Government Green Paper on social care, he said the cap would be part of a number of "risk-pooling" measures. Mr Hunt told an audience of health and social workers that funding would be based on "a partnership between the state and individuals". As well as a cap, underwritten by Government, the Green Paper is likely to propose a saving or insurance scheme for young people. The elderly may face tax rises, perhaps in the form of national insurance for working pensioners, or a levy on property wealth.

The mother of murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne has blamed Government cuts for the sharp rise in registered sex offenders going missing across Britain. Sara Payne, whose eight-year-old daughter was killed in 2000 by a convicted paedophile, said the country has become "a sex offender's playground" following years of austerity measures. Her remarks come after Sky News revealed UK police forces have lost track of 485 egistered sex offenders including rapists and paedophiles - a 22% rise on March 2015. Dr Payne, who works with The Phoenix Post campaign group for victims of paedophiles, told Sky News: "The Government have used the austerity argument to virtually deconstruct child protection in this country, until it is exactly what you see before you - a sex offender's playground, protected by an anti-victim prejudice-groomed government, unwittingly force-funded by good and decent taxpayers. "For the sake of the children, it's long past time th

Carpetright is racing to secure emergency funding to pave the way for a longer-term restructuring plan in the latest sign of the crisis engulfing Britain's high streets. Sky News has learnt that the flooring chain, which trades from more than 400 shops across the country, was working on Tuesday night to secure more than £10m from prospective lenders. The talks could result in an agreement about new funding being announced as early as Wednesday, according to sources close to the situation. However, it was unclear what the consequences of a failure to attract the new money would be, with people close to Carpetright playing down the possibility of it heading for administration. Carpetright's hunt for financing comes less than three weeks after it said it was likely to report a loss for the year ending April 28. Last week, it was reported that the retailer was contemplating the closure of scores of stores under a mechanism called a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA

Theresa May risked misleading the public by claiming the Government is boosting police funding by £450m, according to the UK's official statistics watchdog. The Prime Minister was criticised by Sir David Norgrove, chairman of the UK Statistics Authority, for an answer she gave Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in the House of Commons last month. Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions, Mrs May claimed the Government is "not just protecting police budgets, but increasing them with an extra £450m". However, Sir David stated this "could have led the public to conclude incorrectly that central government is providing an additional £450m for police spending in 2018/19". Citing an earlier written statement by policing minister Nick Hurd, Sir David pointed to how £270m of the funding settlement will come from local council tax, if Police and Crime Commissioners and mayors choose to raise the cash. Sir David also criticised a Home Office tweet for implying t

Pressure is building on Facebook's founder and chief executive over the alleged misuse of user data on the network. Mark Zuckerberg's social media site is being investigated by the US Federal Trade Commission, a consumer and competition watchdog. There are also calls from British MPs and the European Commission for urgent investigations. The pressure comes after allegations that data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica, which was hired by Donald Trump's campaign team, used millions of Facebook profiles without authorisation to predict and influence the US election. According to Facebook, academic Aleksandr Kogan, separately from his work as a University of Cambridge professor, made a personality app that gathered data which he then sold on to third parties. Facebook suspended Cambridge Analytica when reports emerged that the data company did not delete information about Facebook users that had been inappropriately shared. In a statement, it said: "The
