My mother and grandmother were all retired at 60 yet here i am still not retired at 64yrs old and won't be until I'm 67. Crippled with arthritis and diabetes amongst other health problems from a working life of manual labour since age 16 and even worse by the time my daughters get to retirement age/
In 2026, the UK state pension age will rise to 67 from 66, fully implemented by 2028.
Rich retire whenever they want. The poor die at work, receive low pension, have shorter life.
Low wages = low private pension. Neoliberals want to cut state pension, inflict more misery on millions.

State pension age to increase to new threshold for millions of people
An increase in the age is on the horizon after it was announced more than a decade ago.

British public: The cost of living crisis is crushing working people.
Nigel: What if minimum wageworkers make even less?
Many of the companies paying workers minimum wage make billions in profit every year. Why do the Reform Party want to squeeze the working class instead of taxing the super rich?
