Politicians and news agencies don’t talk about this enough. We need more working age people otherwise pension age will just keep going up and up.
It would also cripple the pensions system. If the number of people actually working and paying taxes to support it, pensions would have to be reduced or folk would have to work later in life before retiring.

Twelve Jobs Nigel has earned over £1 million in additional income since the general election.
To understand the scale of it, since the July 2024 election he's earned roughly £100k more as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion than Starmer gets as PM.

I was quite surprised, given the amount of negative press that would have you believe that this government is the worst we’ve had yet.

Today, Parliament debated child sexual abuse. Not a single Reform UK MP turned up. The party that constantly rants about “Pakistani" and immigrant gangs - yet when it comes to an actual Commons statement on child rape, they couldn’t be bothered.

This doesn't mean the state pension is unaffordable, or that it's a Ponzi scheme - it's covered by taxation on a "pay as you go" basis in the same way as every other state pension scheme in the world.
