Many GB News readers have been in uproar over a recent proposal to raise the state pension age to 71 in the near future. Last week, The Longevity Centre recommended the state pension age was raised to this level by 2050 to maintain the number of working age Britons per retire amid growing life expectancy and falling birthrates. This proposal was criticised by a pension expert who claimed it would have severe consequences on British workers aged 50 or under. Members of the public have agreed, opposing the suggestion of hiking the state pension age to this degree in such a short space of time.
