Good news: we're not raising the retirement age.
Bad news: it's because we've shaved several years off your life expectancy.

@kityates Poorer, less free, sicker and likely to die younger. Britain has never had it so good! Well a very small percentage have never had it so good.

Using The Mirror as a source isn't exactly helping your point.

Those are NRRs for men in % of pre-retirement earnings, 2016

In 2019/20 it was at 80-89 for NL, not 100, for instance.

It seems like democracy made the right decision for the wrong reason. It's time for a new way.

We have no clue what life expectancy is with SARS-CoV-2 in the mix. Viruses--even those portrayed in the media as being mild--can do unexpected things. Some people with untreated HIV die between 4 and 6 years after exposure whereas others are seemingly outwardly healthy until year 12 or so. Newsclippings show that some scientists initially thought those relatively long lived HIV carriers had dodged the bullet.

The bullet caught them eventually.
