  Try living in 12k a year. Lowest pension in developed countries.

  And when are the government going to introduce a much needed wealth tax? It is needed in these times.

  Must be talking about civil servant pensions and they don't even come under the new capital gains tax

  The triple lock isn’t fair but why go after pensioners over the billionaires? Their tax rates are highly unfair. Windfall Tax BP, they have made disgusting amounts of money.

  And it was, no doubt, my 50 years weekly wage NI deductions that paid for your father's state pension ? With respect.

  If it's a choice between triple lock pension and a care service that's free at the point of entry and gives dignity to those at the end of their lives, I'd pick the latter.

  The disgusting aspect of the state pension scheme is that there is no state fund allocation to an untouchable account and contributions are used by politicians as current revenue. A ponzi scheme if ever there was one.

  James and Burnham go after pensioners first, not a word today about going after billionaire tech guys with fair tax rates, or windfall tax massive profits made by oil and gas companies, no, pensioners first, like Starmer and winter fuel payments, same old same old.

  How many people actually think they would receive less than the £241.30 current weekly rate if the pension triple lock is removed? Anyone brave enough to be honest?

  Sometimes I feel like we could use a type of Car Speed limit on Socialmedia for everyone. Then again I don't want that since all I do is watching stuff passively all the time for like 5-7 hours a day. So maybe establish a Certification for educational stuff that can be seen past the limits.
