The Bigger Picture: Insupportable state pensions, BIS warnings on state debt and NHS dissatisfaction
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University explains why the state pension age will have to rise, and rise quite soon, even though no vote-hungry politician is brave enough to admit it. Will any of them listen to the head of the Bank of International Settlements, who has warned governments to rein in borrowing to prevent a world debt crisis? And he looks at the collapse in public satisfaction with the NHS, not just in England but also in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Where, he asks, is the political will to admit that the 1948 NHS system is no longer fit for purpose and think afresh?
