Interesting article here that provides some real insight into Labour's thoughts around retirement -

Middle-class professionals should retire later than working class people and those in poor health, Labour says -

Alex Cunningham, shadow work and pensions minister, said that the state pension age should reflect people's health, income and the nature of their employment.

Alex Cunningham, shadow work and pensions minister, said that the state pension age should reflect people's health, income and the nature of their employment.

For those who are sufficiently well paid to become wealthy or well off at least, the state pension age makes little difference to a decision to cease work. A Corbyn government would no doubt wish to prevent anyone becoming wealthy by using high taxes.
