Well if the young'uns won't work someone has to!

Until the majority rail against it they'll continue to abuse any way that suits them.

I see in one of today's papers that even Tony Blair doesn't agree with Starmer over his tax rises and hurting the British people with them and other rises.  Wonder what gulliver and nicebloke will think of their hero ripping into Starmer and co.

I think we'll have to keep wondering. 
 

Why not say 'stop moaning and just die before pension age'?

I think the stork delivered a Tory to the toolmaker's house by mistake.

Apart from one or two Labourites on here who are honest enough to acknowledge that this government is a disaster, the complaints about the way pensioners are being treated is coming  the Tory camp.  Starmer's not a Tory - he's a dunderhead. 

History tells us that dunderheadedness is prized in Conservative circles.

Pensioners don't vote Labour. What do you expect?

It's only like when the Tories shaft everyone that doesn't vote for them.

Suck it up pensioners. You lost.

tomus, this won't affect any pensioner, but will impact on younger voters of all political colours, including labour voters.

I think tomus must have misread the post.  If not one day they will be a pensioner let's see what they think about it when they have to work a few years more.

From Wicki;

"In 2006, a cross party Parliamentary report recommended a rise of the State Pension age for for both men and women to 68 by 2024 - 2046. This was put in force by the Pensions Act 2007.

However, when the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition took power, the Pensions Act 2011 accelerated the rise of the State Pension age for both men and women to 66 by 6 Oct 2020. 

Under the Pensions Act 2014, the coalition government again accelerated the rise in the state pension age to 67 by 6 April 2028."

No matter who had won the last election, this rise was always going to happen. And, as has already been pointed out, this is not an attack on pensioners but people who have yet to reach pension aged.
