MPs are challenging stereotypes around older people stockpiling wealth as younger generations struggle. A report from the Commons' women and equalities committee is calling for action to tackle age discrimination. They criticise depictions of baby boomers - those born between 1946 and 1964, as either frail or enjoying a life of luxury at the expense of their children and grandchildren. Nicky Campbell asks listeners: Are boomers to blame?
