Britain is ‘sick man of Europe’ finds new report into nation's health

“The term the ‘sick man of Europe’ is often used to describe countries going through severe economic turmoil or social unrest. In Britain today, it has become a more literal reality,” the authors wrote.

We lag our peers on:

  • Health outcomes
  • Number of people with a long-term condition is rising
  • People are spending longer in poor health
  • Health is worsening throughout the life course

All bringing real challenges for children, adolescents, working-age adults, and those who have retired.

That is, the nation’s health challenges have reached historic proportions.

Britain seems stuck in a doom loop of poverty. I have a plan to raise billions to address that

But how to fix it? Three seismic shifts have unfolded over the last decade.

First, the welfare safety net has been systematically shredded, with the government abandoning responsibilities taken for granted since 1945.

Second, charities and food banks, which have taken over from universal credit as the last line of defence, are exhausted and justifiably angry about having to pick up the pieces with insufficient resources. They even fear their desperate relief efforts could provide cover for the government walking further away.

Third, unsure how they fit into a poverty-free, pollution-free future, the corporate sector has in the last decade donated less, not more.

Yet the many business leaders who are now championing a greater sense of environmental and social responsibility know they can, and should, play a bigger role.

British nuclear missile test fails and crashes into sea

A recent Royal Navy test of the missile that carries Britain's nuclear deterrent failed within seconds, it has emerged, raising new questions about the deterrent's viability at a time of elevated #nuclear tensions.

First revealed by the Sun newspaper, the US-manufactured #Trident missile was launched from the #submarine HMS #Vanguard off the east coast of the US.

However, instead of flying the planned thousands of miles before coming down in the southern Atlantic Ocean, it crashed into the sea near the launch site.

Save NHS dentistry and make it fit for the 21st century

I’m Tom Thayer, a hospital consultant. I treat patients left with horrifying mouth injuries after trying to pull out their own teeth out.
Everyone who needs an NHS dentist should be able to get an appointment.

But overstretched and underfunded, there are now fewer and fewer #NHS #dentists available. A recent survey found nine out of ten practices are no longer taking on new NHS patients
