“The Tories’ pledge to introduce a cap on social care costs by 2020 has been officially abandoned.
David Cameron promised to bring in an upper limit of about £75,000 on the amount people must pay towards their own care.
But a senior Government source has said the cap will not be introduced until well into the next decade at the earliest.”

When is a pledge not a pledge? When its a Conservative pledge.
Particularly if it is a pledge to help anyone who is not ultra-rich. (You can bet anything you like that a pledge to lower the tax bill for the ultra-rich will never be abandoned – because they would lose their party sponsorship.)
