An independent review into the state pension age has recommended that the government look at changing the pensions rules to allow manual workers to access their pot early
Good Morning Britain guests have clashed over whether people in manual jobs should be able to retire and access their pensions earlier than office workers. Co-hosts Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway led the heated debate on the ITV programme as former manual worker Craig Phillips and author Alison Edgar weighed in.
Richard then asked: "How old are you now?" with Craig replying: "51, 52 in October", reported the Express. The presenter continued: "And what state are you in now?" as the guest answered: "I've got aches and pains." "One is the fact that if you have gone to university or some form of you know, graduate training, then you're likely to have not started work [as early] because young people who work in manual jobs often go in at 16, 17, 18 at the absolute latest and they get stuck in and they're doing that manual work for a longer time.
"But if there's nobody to build hospitals, or there's nobody to build things because they're retiring early, then we can't do that. That is unsustainable." Richard also pointed out some office workers suffer with their mental health due to the pressure of their industry. Craig acknowledged this but added: "I agree they're under pressure and distress themselves, but it's not as physical, is it?
