Viral social media posts have made a number of claims about how pension contributions are saved and spent. But their sums are wrong, and they misunderstand how the state pension works.

If Brexit hadn't wiped £40 billion off UK tax revenue, maybe the government wouldn't be clawing back taxes from farmers' inheritance... So I just hope everyone protesting against it, also protested with us against Brexit... Especially as 69% of farmers say Brexit has hurt them.
