The End of the NHS: Prioritise prevention or prepare for its collapse
The British public live longer, yet unhealthier lives than previous generations. Many people in the UK will experience decades with serious chronic illness, much of which is preventable. While the ability of our NHS to sustain life is admirable, a long history of ineffective public health policy has created a toxic recipe for extremely long-term illness that will soon finish-off a health service already on its knees.

This week, the snow and ice returned to Ukraine. On the Black Sea, a once-in-a-century storm sent what was left of the Russian navy scuttling for shelter. Even the Crimea’s recently constructed defences were swept away. In war, winter means new challenges and new dangers as hypothermia and ice stalk the trenches and cripple equipment. The injured die in the field, cold, alone and in silence.
