I have never understood why Pensions are categorised as benefits.
It's misleading & misunderstood.
The cost of state pensions to the UK government is approximately £145.6 billion for 2025-2026, including an estimated £138 billion for State Pensions and £14 billion for disability benefits.

Bemused by how skewed @news.sky.com political coverage has been in the last 48 hours, too much gotcha and not enough factual analysis. Nearly fell apart over OBR leak, waffle, waffle, waffle. The only presenter providing quality output was Ed Conway ?because he deals in facts.
