Yes, there was a typo, should have been 2006-7 and 2017-21...2 blocks of 5 + 4 = 9 years.
Good news is rare, so I'm happy for the moment.
Next thing to worry about is the likelihood that the State Pension will shortly be means tested......yes, the idea
has been floated !!

I believe those articles in the express were referring to those who are rich & were designed to stop people voting in one direction & cause them to regret it if they already had.

And nobody gives any thought to the practicalities of operating such a measure nor the administrative expense of doing so. Makes good click bait headlines though and sets social meda off.

Well I won't start worrying until it gets into a more sensible range of paper.  Especially NOT in one of those that tell us (as if it is brand new) that we will get fined if we break some law.
