Who were of pension age thought the Labour Party was inept. This was the highest percentage in over five years. Nos. 10 and 11 are now dealing with an issue that will only worsen.
The ONS projects that the proportion of people over 65 will increase from 19% in 2022 to 27% in 2072, reflecting the aging of the UK population.
