Can anyone recall something May's done which has been good and successful? Genuine question. Struggling to think of anything. I'll take any successes she had as Home Secretary. Her failings are many and clear it seems and chickens are now coming home to roost on her and the rest of her government's record. Sadly: Maybe it's time for a Macron style new party?

I see May et al are doing well on their deficit reduction plan and those cuts in corporation tax are having the desired effect on receipts. Can you expand on this sarcasm? (Genuine request)

The analysis is that this will make the upcoming budget less promising than perhaps previously expected and it will be a case of more medicine to make us sicker. It's a bit like Munchausen by Proxy.

It is about the overall health of a population not just the classic definition of a "disease". (i.e. malaria) If you like but that makes your first statement wrong. The figures quoted for life expectancy are mortality rate as they include death from all causes including malaria.

Like what? Dunno, however epidemiological studies, such as those based in economic analysis, can demonstrate relationships of significance between two or more related phenomena. For example, there is no absolute proof that smoking causes lung cancer, however there is an incredibly strong correlation between certain lung cancers, smokers and certain carcinogens, that are present in cigs. So, yes, you can use an economics based analysis to show strong correlation between different factors that might appear at first to be unrelated.
