Austerity blamed as life expectancy stalls for first time in 100 years
The London Economic - “This damage to the nation’s health need not have happened. It is shocking,” Sir Michael Marmot said - News
Plus of course, there will come a point where life expectancy will hit a natural high and not be able to get any higher, threw a lack of care or not.Expert in I told you so shocker.
"Austerity has taken a significant toll on equity and health, and it is likely to continue to do so. If you ask me if that is the reason for the worsening health picture, I’d say it is highly likely that is responsible for the life expectancy flat-lining, people’s health deteriorating and the widening of health inequalities"
Easy enough saying it, how about using his expertise to provide solutions?
Of course when the Government release the public spending tap those who despise them will be bleating about a "magic money tree".
Try some interesting factoids about "austerity"........
"Absolute poverty remains at its lowest ever level, 16 percentage points lower than in 1997–98."
"Rates of material deprivation in 2017–18 were a fifth lower than in 2010–11."

I think that endlessly banging on about how bad everything is, just gets boring and depressing for "old-fashioned" labour voters. Of course the Momentum types love it - they want to be in a perpetual protest movement.Austerity has cut life expectancy ... official NHS stats, if it, NHS, wasnt already going to be sold off (to America?) , by daring to provide statistics criticisingDominic CummingsBojo/Tory government policies, the NHS goose looks like its going to be cooked.

Not only is it boring and depressing, it's also self defeating if they are hoping to win back voters who switched to the Conservatives:

Not a good choice of terminology, though in this application Id assume (?) the term 'traitors' should be preceded by the word(s) (working) class? - that said LIsa Nandy is my choice for the labour leadership job- but (IMO) , Labour have some serious distance to go to even come close to Cummings, Bojo, Patel and their right wing Nasty/Tory party
Gut feeling is she is quite a politically bigoted lady who has a rather small minded view of those who voted Conservative - the sort of mindset that will mean Labour doesn't get elected. It's quite a nasty little ditty from her!Not a good choice of terminology, though in this application Id assume (?) the term 'traitors' should be preceded by the word(s) (working) class? - that said LIsa Nandy is my choice for the labour leadership job- but (IMO) , Labour have some serious distance to go to even come close to Cummings, Bojo, Patel and their right wing Nasty/Tory party
it sure was a bit toxic @Gary Baldi
I cant see Bojo being allowed to move anywhere from the right of Ghengis Khan with Cummings pulling the strings TBH @Essexyellows ..... Brexit party standing ( and losing their deposit) in former 'safe' Labour constituencys where 'leave' was the popular vote was a serious factor in the GE result, most 'safe' Labour seats lost were by a margin that was there or thereabouts the votes for the Brexit party.
I saw reading a thread on Twitter about how the left as a political group are stuck where they are because, where the right has stayed in that position on immigration and so forth, but moved left on economics/investments/taxation, the left are incapable of moving right on items like immigration, so are struggling to relate to where the electorate has changed. It's a brief summation on my side, but the wider point concurs with how populism/nationalism has changed things and left wing parties are struggling.
Me watching Rebecca Long Bailey being interviewed by Andrew Neil in 3 memes
Why anyone would vote for her, I don't know. Lied about her past, lied about anti-Semitism and clearly not the sharpest tool in the Labour draw. Continuity Corbyn without an intellect. I can see why is called Rebecca Wrong-Daily.
BoJo did the right thing - for all of the angst, clearly they knew they would lose more than they would gain. He had is moment in the summer and just about came out of it ok on that interview with Neil. Once bitten, twice shy?And good old Bojo swerved being interviewed/ savaged by Andrew Neil in the run in to the GE, while other party leaders didnt if memory serves. At least she, Long- Bailey, had the 'balls' to face him
Gotta agree, she didnt come out of it too well, Neil does very thorough research, and is like a dog with a bone never lets his interviewees off the hook, from his probing questions - no wonder Bojo bottled it, guess there would be no fridges to hide in if Bojo did face him ?
Kier Starmer didnt do too well either IMO
Lisa Nandy ( who would be my choice as next Labour leader) fared slightly better than the other 2 candidates , IMO
Remember, that campaign was a case of he had little to lose and not a lot to gain by doing it. It was the right call. After all, there is no legal obligation to have an Andrew Neil interview at a GE is there?
That presser the other day was what he wants. Experts to the left and right, let them talk. If he had done a presser and tried to get through it and made a mistake, people such as yourself would be all over him for doing it - understandable.
