Time for a new Beveridge for the age of ageing
Just been sent details of this which seems quite topical given some of the commentary saying we need to impoverish pensioners to pay for the young as a consequence of brexit, let alone the bigger questions around welfare reform more generally.
‘Towards a new age: The future of the UK welfare state’ argues that governments are ‘sowing the seeds of the welfare state’s demise’ by failing to deliver reform.
The book, published by the International Longevity Centre (ILC-UK), contains 20 essays outlining the challenges and reforms necessary on housing, health, education, the labour market, and pensions and welfare.
It’s got a free pdf download (which I have downloaded but haven’t read yet).

Sad, definitely sad - and a long wait at the carousel.

Got those post-Brexit jet lag blues floating through my body, my mood is slipping and a-sliding and my spirits sag….
