4.3 million people could be out of work due to ill health by the end of this Parliament, ushering in an era of “disease and bankruptcy” for Britain, according to a new report from The Institute for Public Policy Research. Camilla and Kamal look at the report’s recommendations, including higher taxes on unhealthy foods, and ask if more nanny statism will really drag the country out of a health crisis.
And Ed Davey has given his big speech at the Lib Dem conference, and used it largely to take aim at fourteen years of Conservative rule rather than holding Labour's feet to the fire.
