Liz Truss, yes her again, has repeated some more ‘radical’ ideas.
She said the state pension age should be raised to 80. Life expectancy for men is 80.7 and decreasing.
It wasn’t the first time she mentioned it though, the state pension age could have been raised to 81 if former Prime Minister Liz Truss had her way, when she was in charge of the country (yep, the COUNTRY).
Britain’s short-serving leader reportedly floated the idea during a conversation at a Westminster garden party.
Farage
It comes as Nigel Farage’s “fantasy” policies will lead to a Liz Truss-style economic meltdown, the prime minister warned.
Sir Keir Starmer argued that Reform UK’s pledges would cause mortgages, bills and rent payments across the country to surge.
His account wrote on X: “Liz Truss’s fantasy economics crashed the economy. My Government was elected to fix the mess. Now Nigel Farage wants to repeat her mistake. You can’t trust him with your job, your mortgage, your pension, your bills, or your future.”
Analysis from the Institute of Fiscal Studies suggests that farage’s party’s aim of hiking the personal allowance to £20,000 a year could cost between £50bn to £80bn a year.
