monica lennon would have been such a better leader than sarwar and i’m sad we’ll never get to see it.
“Women against state pension inequality” getting mad that state pension inequality was removed has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen all day
There’s no need to give £10 billion to people who don’t need it just because they say they weren’t told about something that they were in fact told about.
Even if the government had loads of money available — which they don’t — further enriching the wealthiest age cohort is not something they should do. As things stand, they would need to cut, tax or borrow to fund this. No one should be taken seriously unless they can say which of those things the government should do.
I feel like I’m missing something here. The law was changed in 1995, to come in to effect from 2010 onwards.
How is 15 years not enough notice?
Theres an extra detail that is often missed, in 2011 the roll out was accelerated by 4 years and there’s some evidence it may have taken in to 2014 to notify everyone affected so it’s possible you may have been expecting to get a pension in 2016 and with just over a year’s notice find it’s been moved to 2020.
They also increased the age to 66 and now 67 for everyone.
I have more sympathy for those but that’s a much smaller cohort than the 3M figure being reported.
You’re not missing anything, they don’t have a leg to stand on.
Let’s just abandon retirement and have everyone enjoying the beauty and fulfilment of work until they drop. Bah! Pensions are for the workshy layabouts.
