Sunak warned of pensions rebellion after hints age might rise to 68 sooner than expected 🔴 A senior Tory MP said there was “no justification” for bringing forward the change and warned it would take the Government into a “political battle”
. Despite life expectancy falling in the UK, Work and Pensions Secretary, Mel Stride, told MPs that accelerating the rise could be justified due to the “pretty hairy” state of public finances.
But Mr Stride’s comments, made to the Work and Pensions Committee, were widely seen as a hint the Government was looking to the state pension rise as a long-term cost cutting measure. Tory member of the committee, Nigel Mills, who challenged Mr Stride on the suggestion that the link between life expectancy and retirement age could be broken, toldit would do nothing for the public finances until “well into the next decade” and was not “worth the political risk” for the Government.
