Life Expectancy Plateau.

This is a disturbing report, not least because GB comes out worst in Europe. Of course in comparison to when I was young, people live very much longer than was the expectation then. There are a lot of factors involved, but one which is very important in the current political climate is the fact that the economy now favours the rich over the poor and years of austerity have led to a reduction in the quality and quantity of public services right across the piece. It stands to reason that the vulnerable young and the infirm old who do not enjoy a background of affluence, suffer most.

So another thing for Labour to address when it becomes the government.
