Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson attends a media briefing in Downing Street, London, Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021. Johnson has announced a tax increase to pay for the rocketing cost of the long-term care needed by Britain’s growing older population. Johnson told lawmakers in the House of Commons that he had made the “difficult but responsible” decision to hike taxes in order to raise 36 billion pounds ($50 billion) over three years for social care and the overstretched National Health Service.
