About this episode

This episode discusses the longevity gap between the wealthy and those under financial stress, alongside an interview with Natasha Clark about her conversation with the Prime Minister regarding social media regulations.

New findings reveal that well-off people can expect to live 20 more “good years” than those with financial stress. Why does this gap exist, what drives it, and what practical steps could help close it? And, LBC’s Political Editor, Natasha Clark, joins James to discuss her interview with the Prime Minister today, during which Sir Keir Starmer told her there is an “overwhelming case” for tighter social media restrictions.
