@aranotang.bsky.social#Pensioners lost £500 a year that was never paid back. The #PrimeMinister plans to remove the #TripleLock loading the cost of #SocialCare onto old people. This won’t come close to covering social care #costs & pensioners shouldn’t foot the bill for a #service that benefits everyone. c.org/DDGSyLfvq7

@europeans.today#Labour plans to keep the state pension #TripleLock until 2030, then change how it works as part of a wider social care settlement.
What could that mean for #Pensioners, and for Labour’s electoral risk?
@cspa-uk.bsky.social🏛️ From pension reforms to landmark campaigns, CSPA has been standing up for civil service pensioners for over 70 years. Take a look at the key moments from history.
@tim-cliffe.bsky.socialHOPE AGAIN ?
What they never include with these mealy-mouthed slogans is, for whom?
Certainly not #pensioners.
Certainly not #Palestine.
Certainly not protestors jailed as #terrorists.
The French had a solution for the ruling classes... it involved a blade.
@enviroman.bsky.socialSharon Graham is right on this. "Instead of going to try and pick the pocket of #pensioners, we need to move over to the other side of the equation and think about things like wealth taxes way before we try to stop something like the triple lock,"
#BBCNews Why are we even considering scrapping the #TripleLock? #Pensioners contributed all their lives, as a percentage of pay, so inflation-adjusted. It's crazy that #StatePension is paid from current money. We need to set up and pay #pensions from a Sovereign Fund and respect our senior citizens

@morganvine.bsky.socialThe #triplelock... For me, it's too often pitched as #olderpeople taking money off younger. Thanks to @resolutionfoundation.org for inviting @independentage.bsky.social on to their podcast to discuss. Have a listen: open.spotify.com/episode/3U2J...
@oneoflokis.bsky.socialJeez! Look at what #Refprm are intending to do! They say the #statepension is a #Ponzi scheme, but now #Refuk are planning to rob #pensioners with a Ponzi scheme of their own!😏

Seriously?
Who, in UK government, cares?
#Pensioners are being arrested for saying they don’t like state-sponsored #Terrorism, #Rape, #ChildKilling, #Journocide …

💬 Key global update — what is your view on this?
@rmblaber1956.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyMy comment refers to what Andy #Burnham has had to say about #pensioners just above the #threshold & #incometax, & has nothing to do with anything Nigel #Farage has or hasn't said.
@edtrainsociety.bsky.socialFT can explain why high #netmigration or border churn of mostly #temporaryvisa holders is important?
#Ageing #population, more #pensioners vs fewer #workingage #taxpayers; rising #oldage #dependency ratios -> #budget stress.
Net migration temps pay £billions VAT tax = net financial contributors?
