Original Note:
The claim that the UK has the "lowest pension in Europe" is misleading and fails to take account of differences in pension systems. The claim was also made in November 2007, during the Brown gov't and after ten years of Labour Party control under three Blair gov'ts. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2007/nov/13/statepensions.personalfinancenews https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn00290/ https://fullfact.org/online/uk-france-germany-pension-comparison/ https://fullfact.org/economy/uk-france-pension-comparisons/ https://fullfact.org/online/pensions-countries-comparisons/ https://fullfact.org/europe/pensioners-eu-uk/
