The thing is 2010 had some things going for it fiscally. Or at least low hanging fruit to have an ideological attack against.

State pension age was already rising for women from 60 to 65, then men got lumped in to 67. Obvious attacks on benefit claimants through stricter ESA, and the introduction of PIP. The bedroom tax.

Nowt of that left it’s time to take the tough decisions and tell people it’s a pyramid scheme and they’re the lucky losers carrying the can.
