media captionThe Labour leader says it is 657 days since the PM announced he had a "clear plan we have prepared" to "fix" social care.
The lack of a clear government plan to fix social care is "unforgivable", Sir Keir Starmer has said.
In Tuesday's Queen's Speech outlining the government's policies for the next year, there was a promise that proposals would be brought forward.
Boris Johnson made a pledge when he became prime minister in 2019 to "fix the crisis in social care".
But the Labour leader said it was "an insult to a whole nation" to have not acted sooner or given further detail.
