It’s awful. Presumably the idea is to reduce the time between retirement and death, thus reducing UK state pension payouts (already the lowest in Europe).
The male life expectancy in West Dumbartonshire in 2022 was 73.
Which means an average guy there will have two years of retirement before they die.
Retirement after a lifetime of work should be something to look forward to and to be enjoyed. Pushing it to 71 is despicable.
