Donation protected
Fighting to get pledged below pension policies now for men and women the same, into Labour's election manifesto for when next Labour government rule parliament by winning general election:

1960s and 1970s born Men and Women MOVING TO PENSION AGE 70 - 75
Tories intend to increase your pension age to 70 going on 75 to men and women born from
1961 to 1978. You start turning 60 next year, 2020.

GREY SWANS DEMAND TO LABOUR - State pension payment age 60 for the 1960s born onward, who already have pension ages 67. Born from 1979 have had pension age 68 since 2007. 

You lost means-tested pension credit, that does not require you to actively seek work or attend Jobcentre to get or keep.  Least chance from age 60 of new job.

UK older working class have highest number of chronic sick / disabled of any developed nation on earth (OECD 2017 report), so with pension age 60 no need to rely on too often sanctioned sick benefits.  


FURTHER for 1970s  born MEN AND WOMEN 
1970s are starting to turn 50, and lost early works pension from 50 to 55 since 2010. 

GREY SWANS DEMAND TO LABOUR - Full works pension payment from age 50 men and women. 

From age 50, little chance of new job if lose your job due to ill health.

Welfare state is gone and ageism in job recruitment begins from age 50 (ageist views are very high nowadays).  


ALL PENSIONER AGES, OLD AND NEW - MEN AND WOMEN - 
UK LIVING, BRIT EXPATS with FROZEN PENSIONS, WINDRUSH GENERATION and GURKHAS
 
- £250 per week state pension for all pensioner ages, men and women, 
same money regardless of National Insurance record,

- £23,000 income tax allowance from age 60 to all pensioner ages.


FOR ALL WORKING AGE PEOPLE FROM AGE 16 

- 12 per cent pay rise by you no longer paying worker National Insurance contributions, for all working age people. 

- Self Employed no longer paying your various National Insurance contributions. 

- Boss no longer burdened with 13.8 per cent employer National Insurance contribution per worker,
so you can pay the £10 per hour living wage as a minimum from age 16.

With that and 12 per cent more money in peoples' pockets, increased wages to spend into your business. 


WHY LABOUR?
High rumours of 2nd early general election in summer next year, 2020, but might even be this autumn (?)

Polls and political betting have high odds of Labour winning.

UPDATE
Booked a cheap  bed and breakfast room, close to centre of Brighton, so can park up me old car on their drive for the 6 days and get to the Conference and Momentum venues on my mobility scooter, so saving on high parking fees and the most eager traffic wardens in England.

Paid £65 admission to Labour Conference for the week (reduced rate for the unwaged retired).

Booked a cheap room on the way down, the previous day in Oxford. Don't need to stopover, coming back, as don't have a deadline as when getting down to Brighton obviously. The drive down is half of England, for this knackered old bird. 

Staying the full 6 days, means more chance for Admin GREY SWANS to do static demo outside and inside at fringe events and conference, as well as Momentum events during the same time in Brighton.

And meet up with the other pension campaign groups at the same time.

And recruit men and women into Grey Swans born all pensioner ages, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, especially who live in and around London, so can do Grey Swans static demos. Grey Swans has Facebook group page.
