  1. Listening to Rest is Politics talking about ageing population. Apparently when the old age pension was introduced, there were 12 working people for every retired person, and now that figure is 2.5.

    Controversial opinion: we should not be afraid of raising the statutory retirement age as life expectancy increases. In exchange, the state should commit to ensuring life expectancy is neither a postcode or demographic lottery.
