It's not socialist if the Tories do it.
That said I thought the social care policy wasn't too bad. Someone has to pay somewhere. At least this way you got to keep your home until you die, the flaw to me was that it became a lottery on if you got dementia or not.
And it also highlighted the other side of your example. The Tories took some Ed Miliband policies are suddenly they're decent policies to the right-wing press and they're barbaric to Labour. The Tories essentially proposed a bigger inheritance tax to pay for social care and suddenly Labour were outraged.
