Andy Burnham today faced fresh demands to 'end the worry' and rule out an £18billion 'death tax' to pay for his social care plans.
The PM has said social care must be reformed with 'urgency' as he makes tackling the crisis in the sector a key part of his premiership.
At a press conference earlier today, Mr Jenrick vowed that Reform would 'fight a universal death tax' as an 'unfair' and 'cruel' levy.
He also branded it 'insulting' that Mr Burnham had snubbed Reform leader Nigel Farage for Wednesday's cross-party talks on social care changes.
He told reporters: 'Have other opposition parties held a press conference dedicated to social care and this response?
