Work until you drop - State Pension age should rise to 75, Tory think tank says

[RonnieBird]

I did say that. Perhaps I should have been clearer.

Point is that the unfulfillable promises of successive governments and their dishonest attempts to give the impression that they're doing all this stuff is the reason why they're trying to penny pinch on legitimate expenditure such as pensions.

If you spend the tax money on mad projects you can't also spend it on important things

[Taunton Blue Genie]

With people living longer and the age demographic increasing, the percentage of over 65's (18% now and projecting to rise to 24% in 2036) it's difficult for a government of any colour to resist raising the pension age.
