Reform UK leader Nigel Farage condemns Andy Burnham for not including his party in cross-party talks on social care which included the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. "They don't want to hear a fresh reforming voice. It's the club in Westminster," Mr Farage says.

00:00If Andy Burnham says he wants to reach consensus across the political spectrum,
00:03how can you ignore the party that just won a huge victory on May 7th in the English local elections,
00:09that has led most opinion polls for the last 18 months?
00:13No, look, this is the Uni Party.
00:15This is the Westminster establishment who failed on social care time and time again.
00:21They don't want to hear a fresh, reforming voice.
00:25It's the club in Westminster.
00:26What I will say is this, that this Prime Minister has said throughout that he wants to devolve power,
00:34that big decisions over people's lives need to be taken as locally as possible.
00:38Yet what this social care plan does is the complete opposite by effectively nationalising and centralising adult social care,
00:48which is currently carried out by local councils all over the country.
00:52And so I can't quite work out what Mr Burnham really believes in.
00:56Does he believe in devolution or does he believe in centralisation?
