🚨 WATCH: Robert Jenrick says younger people want their parents and grandparents to have a "decent retirement" "A lot of people who have pretty comfortable lives seem to want to take away a decent state pension from people who are finding life actually difficult"

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage formally commits to the state pension triple lock if Reform UK win the next election "The people to whom pensions are being paid, certainly compared to a younger generation today, are those who have actually worked and paid into the system"

By 2027, there will be 3million pensioners who pay higher or additional rate tax. These people, by definition, are in the top 20% of all UK earners. Yet they will still receive a £12K a year state pension, in a direct transfer of cash from the poorer young to the wealthier old.
