The Guardian has published a new editorial cartoon by artist Ben Jennings responding to a pledge by Andy Burnham to overhaul England's social care system.
The cartoon appears in the newspaper's opinion section, which regularly features illustrated commentary on current political developments from its stable of cartoonists.
Details of Burnham's specific proposals for social care reform, and the particular angle taken by Jennings in the illustration, were not included in the brief listing accompanying the cartoon.
Social care policy has remained a persistent and difficult issue in English politics, with successive governments and prominent regional figures proposing various approaches to funding and reforming a system widely described as under strain.
The publication of the cartoon reflects the continued public and media attention given to social care as a policy area, even as specific reform proposals continue to be debated.
