Lewis Goodall spoke to Defence Secretary Wes Streeting after the first week of a new Labour government.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham “has the courage” to fix adult social care and will make a start next week, a source has said.

Mr Burnham believes the issue of how adult social care works and is funded in England has been “neglected” by previous administrations.

The Prime Minister is also expected to make interventions on youth unemployment and devolution in the coming days.

A No 10 source said: “Andy is going to run towards problems that have been neglected, giving people hope again.

“He has the courage to fix the most difficult issues that have been ignored for years and seen as impossible to resolve."

They added: “He doesn’t accept that they are. They can’t be ignored any longer. The Prime Minister is determined to show that governments can make people’s lives better if they choose to. He wants to get Britain believing again.”

Unlike NHS care, social care is not free at the point of use and high costs sometimes mean people are forced to sell their homes to pay for what they need.

People with savings worth more than £23,250 are not entitled to help with the cost of care from their local council.

Mr Burnham has already pledged to “use some of my political capital” on the issue.
