So the retirement age of 60 was set in 2006. Who was in government then?

What does it matter who was in government? They have been talking about this for many years.
The NFPS was never agreed to.

Overview of the offer
Following extended constructive discussions with the firefighter unions, the Department for Communities and Local Government has published a Heads of Agreement on the core parameters for reforms to the firefighters’ pension scheme.

This wasn't actually a heads of agreement, because nothing was ever agreed. So even the title was wrong

I didn't say for a second that they are. However they aren't going to come up with information that is simply wrong. They are mounting legal challenges against the government, and they would be laughed out of court if they did.
Unlike propoganda that the government puts out to discredit anyone who is in dispute with them, the FBU don't want to take industrial action, it is a last resort. The web site is there to give members the FACTS.
