"Health inequality gap widening"

Nulab are so obsessed with the fact that better-off people's life expectancy is improving faster than that of people in 'deprived areas', that they forgot to give themselves a pat on the back for improving life expectancy by an average of 2 years over the last decade (at enormous cost to the taxpayer, of course).

Oh ... which is a piss-poor result really, seeing as life expectancy increased by an average of 2.7 years every decade over the course of the twentieth century.

If their track record on education is any guide they'll try and average down to match life expectancy of the wealthy to that of the poor.
I look forward to the policy initiatives, although it might be a problem because I don’t think that I can smoke or drink any more than I do already.
