UK State Pension Age Set to Rise: What Retirees Need to Know
The UK’s state pension age, currently 66, will climb to 67 between 2026‑2028 and reach 68 by 2044‑2046. The shift follows decades of reforms aimed at matching longer lifespans. A third review, led by Dr Suzy Morrissey, is underway to test the latest data. Weekly pension payments are also slated to rise to £241.05 from April 2026. Future tweaks remain possible as life‑expectancy trends evolve.

Is it illegal to download a game that was given away for free?
In my recent exploration, I delved into the legality of downloading games that were once given away for free. It turns out, once a game is no longer freely available, downloading it without paying could potentially be seen as illegal, unless the original developers or distribution platforms explicitly allow it. The key lies in the concept of copyright laws that protect the creators' rights to their work. However, the enforcement of these laws greatly depends on the creators' vigilance and willingness to prosecute. So, while you might not get caught, it's definitely a grey area that's best to avoid.
