		CLAIRE RAYNER, the agony aunt and a supporter of the Labour Party for more than 50 years, will accuse Tony Blair this week of "betraying the elderly" as she makes a televised attack on his failure to provide free long-term care for old people.
		Ms Rayner will say she is "disgusted" by Labour's decision to force the elderly to pay for their personal care and claim that the party, which she has supported since the 1940s, is no longer concerned about older people.
		Ms Rayner told The Telegraph that this was unacceptable and that Labour's decision to "ignore the elderly" was "an obscenity".

	Observer \| Tales my mother never told me
		At 14, Claire escaped her parents for the first time by lying about her age to begin nursing, but she was dragged back to the family house, and her cover blown, when Peter and Betty disappeared for a week's holiday, leaving her terrified sister in charge of the others.
		Indeed, despite Claire admitting that she was 'suspicious of family', she stayed in touch with a fair slab of it.
		After all, by 1972 Claire was very well known: she had her problem page in the Sun, a slot on Pebble Mill at One, and her novels were bestsellers.
