It's all there in the official mortality stats.

There are now 567,000 people aged 90+.

There are 14,500 people aged 100+.

These totals are relentlessly increasing.


There may be a lag on these totals, but life expectancy is currently
decreasing, so ultimately the growth will reverse. Who knows how
temporary this is, but Brexit and NHS privatisation will probably not be
good for life expectancy.
