   Here's the thing, the government are raising the pension age as they are useless with finance. How comes businesses make billions in profits but all our governments have ever done is sell anything that might bring in money, like the electric and gas and water companies all originally state owned. Now they want extra money to give to Ukraine. I think it's time for us British people to do a french number on them.

   What an insult, the French have gone mad with their pension going up to 64, while in the uk your corrupt government are forcing you to work an extra 3 years to pay tax while they are all guaranteed to live in luxury when only working a maximum of 20 years or less ? Wake up FFS

   I think it should go off what you do for a living if you're working in an office I think you should work longer if you work outside manual labour you should retire earlier more chances of getting arthritis etc

    Raising the age servers 1 purpose. Dont bother saving for retirement. If you had build up a nice stash of cash to have a comfortable retirement, you would have gotten a pension and had your cash ontop. Now you have to goto the unemployment office at 60, they will see your bank acount and freeze it, then spoon feed you your own savings till your 70. Person B who blew it on good times, will get the same for free. Whos the mug.

    I think you'll find the plan is to push the date out beyond death. The pension scheme is a pyramid selling scam and there aren't enough new suckers with a falling birth rate to fund it. So the pyramid is reversing. Its mathematically impossible to pay people what's been promised. Poor people with no money tend to destabilise society specially if you lie to them and rob them. Its apparently not illegal if the goverment does it.

    I'm 39 and believe this is the right move even if it's not great personally. Reality and the UK population pyramid all but demand this. Yes, lifespan isn't increasing now at the same rate, which only proves this inevitable move should have been done a decade ago. Put another way, if this isn't done, other comments below that state pension will be worthless will absolutely be true. This move offers a glimpse of hope beyond the current demographic and economic reality.

    Raising the retirement age is indicative of failed economic policies brought in by failed politicians and public servants. A successful country with successful policies lowers its retirement age. Better policy and law makers needed…

    Look at some of the jobs that people do and do you think that they can keep on going for 70 in a factory those I know barely get on in it.
    Why when there is more productivity then we should retire at the same age and some for longer as we are a rich enough country to afford the basics.

    British idiots let the government make people work until they die. The French retire at 62. They would have heads on spikes and call for revolution for this crap. But us Brits, just let the Tories take the piss.

    Government ramps up killing off pensioners from exhaustion so they don’t have to pay out what has been paid in all their adult life. Genocide! They’re literally working us to death!

    I'm 35, being paying into my workplace pension for 13 years and am now convinced I am shooting myself in the foot, despite the nice employer contributions.
    The first thing that will happen is means testing will come in and people with private pensions will get nothing back from the state, regardless of tax paid over decades.

    This is penalising the most important people from the engine room of the U.K. the hard working private sector workers, while the people that have their pensions subsidised by these hard working people, are retiring early the public sector workers, the over bloated public sector is a major reason for governments borrowing money and the national debt.

    There will be no such thing as a pension by the time most of us retire… The economy is being wilfully destroyed by our 9lobalist governments so that they can say "we need to reset the economy with a digital currency and you all need digital IDs to use it".
