First explain why the changes were introduced without adequate notice or consultation? If we wanted equality of retirement age the logical answer would have been to reduce the male retirement age to 60 and create jobs for younger people - why should this be a race to the bottom?

Where would the funding for state pensions at 60 for all come from? Almost £100 billion was paid out in SP last year, the system would collapse under your proposal.

The state pension age was 60 all my life. It arbitrarily rose in my late 50's so I cant retire til I'm 66. By which time I will have paid 6 years into my pension without getting anything back. This austerity crap is bogus. They are squeezing us drypic.twitter.com/VNnYlfAJ5j

Nope. If your SPA is now 66, it rose by 5 years before you were 41. An additional year was added in your late 50s, but as you already had to wait until you were 65, you had quite a lot of notice of that change too, really.

It was announced live on TV in 1993, reported on prime time TV and radio news reports, and on the front pages of broadsheet and tabloid newspapers. I don't call that "sneakily".

Frances, I’ve spent my entire working life as a social worker +then as a mental health professional. Pretty much all of my client populations have been at the lower end of the economic scale. There’s no room in that world for could’ve, should’ve, would’ve. Compassion +empathy
