Creating the conditions for ill health by denying minimum income for a healthy life. It is government policy that people who need benefits, Universal Credit, will have only 70% of the money they need to live healthily.

@DuncanLamont2 @prospect_clark @Bloomberg @Telegraph @thisismoney @TheSun @guardian Great article. Do you have a similar chart for rental to income ratios? Always seems overlooked in these discussions and has decoupled from house prices in recent decades. Ta

@piercepenniless I read that article and then read this https://t.co/N13AJtQakM and also wanted to scream. It is unimaginably bad

@dan_tomlinson_ @prospect_clark I think some acceptance that increasing economic inactivity is a reflection of a general retreat of the state and of austerity not just welfare policy is important. It isn’t surprising that this is a problem in the UK and US but very much less so in Europe.

@michaeljswalker I don’t think fully recover is right. Recovered to late 1970s levels, but in the meantime most other countries have cohntinued to see increases in life expectancy with the result that former Soviet states have LE of 15-20 less than western Europe , us and South/central America

@ChardineTaylor Completely agree these announcements have been goin on for years and are shameful. The logic of not giving your money to someone in need who is *right in front of you* and giving it to a charity is so warped.

@thomasforth Mean infant mortality in the UK in 3.9. Mean infant mortality for the least deprived ventile in the US is 4.0. The highest payers have worse outcomes than the average in the UK. This is similar for lots of health metrics. Not sure it fits your graph.
