I’m 32 years old and I want to change the state pension.
With the triple lock, based on historical growth (4.5%) when I reach my pension age.
The state pension will be £30,100 a year.
This would account for £512bn a year.
The current government budget is 1.2Trn.
This would be 3x the current NHS budget.
The triple lock is unsustainable.
Now the debate, no one is saying that pensioners shouldn’t recieve support. That goes without saying.
But there shouldn’t be a non-means tested, non contribution based pension which gives everyone blanket support.
Especially when you consider 1 in 4 of over 60 years are asset millionaires.
My view is, we need to have a means tested only state pension.
Which is reassessed every 3 years.
There is no “pot” people pay into, national insurance is just a tax - there is no ring fenced fund for a state pension. It comes directly from taxation ever annum.
Without changes like this, young people will suffer while older people - who receive their pension and political protection because they actively vote - will continue to have a glorious quality of life.
Good Morning Britain@GMB
More than 12 million pensioners will see their state pension rise 4.8% today under the triple lock. But the government has been accused of doing too little for working-age households so is it time to scrap the triple lock?

@liamtribb He left us to go to a top 4 club but no one wanted him, so ended up at Bruce-era Newcastle on less money than we offered him, and then basically got released the moment they could get good players in.
I don’t think he exactly went to Southampton out of choice

The fact 4 prem teams have never won a major trophy is disgusting. Get some proper clubs in that league man.

@OliDugmore @darrengrimes I see your point. BUT I think there needs to be more focus in govt on reducing the cost of living (utility bills, rent, etc) rather than push the burden on businesses.
Currently the MW is too close to the medium wage, so businesses hire people they don’t need to train (not U25s)

@PippaCrerar Terrible decision. I’d be shocked if this has been endorsed by the Security services

BREAKING: The construction of vast new Chinese embassy complex in east London has been approved, despite concerns about security and impact on political exiles in capital.
The decision brings to an end - for now at least - saga that has been running since 2018 over site at Royal Mint Court near Tower Bridge.
But residents of Royal Mint Court plan to mount legal challenge to decision within weeks, amid concerns they could be forced out of homes, potentially delaying project by months or years.

Note that a graduate in late 20s earning £30k pays a marginal rate of 37%: income tax + NI + loan repayment.
Someone in late 60s earning £30k pays income tax at 20%. That’s all. And they’ll have a c£12k state pension.

Govt hitting graduates by freezing repayment threshold. Hitting students by not increasing support in line with inflation. Hitting universities, a successful export sector, by levying a tax on income from foreign students. thetimes.com/article/9e7169…

@joecarlsonshow If Netflix wanted to be in the box office movie business, they would have done it already.
They’ve had the distribution rights to plenty of high profile films that would have made money both in theatres and streaming - they have chosen to be fairly exclusive in the latter.
English
If Netflix buys Warner Bros. Warner Bros and Paramount pictures will still exist and compete.
If Paramount buys Warner Bros. The same company will own two studios, which will combine to one studio, then they will cost costs to pay down their huge debt. Ultimately leading to one fewer iconic studio.
It is better for competition for Netflix to buy Warner Bros than Paramount.

Why should a pensioner on £13,000 pay no tax, while a part time working Mum on £13,000 does?
When the working Mum almost certainly has far higher expenses to cover.
Explain.

NEWS: The Chancellor @RachelReevesMP confirmed to me tonight in @itvMLshow that those whose only income is the State Pension will NOT PAY INCOME TAX - not just they won't do self assessment, there will be no tax to pay during this parliament. This is important as the pension triple lock means the State Pension must rise by at least 2.5% each year. So from 2027 someone whose only income is the full new state pension will earn more than the personal allowance (the amount earnable each year before you pay tax) - so tax would be due. Here is a transcript. ML: Rebecca, says ‘does my 85 year old father, who's living with dementia now have to complete a tax return as his state pension will take him over the personal allowance?’ RR: So if you just have a state pension and you don't have any other pension, we are not going to make you fill in a tax return. ML: Of any type or? RR: Yes. And so I make that commitment for that, for this Parliament. You're right. 2027 looks like the time that it will, cross over. We are working on a solution, as we speak, to ensure that we're not going after tiny amounts of money. ML: but people will have to pay the tax. They just won't have to do a return or will they not have to pay the tax? RR: in this Parliament they won't have to pay the tax. You know, further out about to make any commitments, on that. But we're looking at a simple workaround at the moment. ML: Okay. So I hadn't actually got that from budget. So that's really good to have clarity that they won't be paying the tax. This is far more than was said in the budget speech which was just about not doing an assessment. I went on to ask about edge cases "those who have £50/yr of income" and she said she couldn't make the same promise in those cases, it was only for people with no other income.

@INorBY2020 @WASPI_Campaign Born 4.5yrs apart = 6 extra yrs to wait for a pension? Sure, it’s shit but you’re not special and you’re not unique. Tuition fees tripled between 2010–2012 with <2yrs’ notice.
Govt policy changes, get over it
English
@Harrison_write @WASPI_Campaign #50swomen born just 4.5yrs apart deserved proper notification and advice to plan for an extra 6yrs. There was none in 1995.
English
Following reports in the media and from MPs that Ministers will be announcing compensation for #WASPI women today, we await with bated breath.
WASPI's calls for compensation are backed by hundreds of MPs across the Commons, alongside an overwhelming majority of the public.
This is an opportunity for the Government to make good on their previous promises to deliver compensation for WASPI women.
Any Government statement today will take place after 15.30 in the Commons, so we will know more details later this afternoon.

We were threatened with legal action by the Six Nations/Autumn Nations Series team so we aren’t taking that risk. Ideally, the main channel would’ve had video essays all through the Autumn, but that’s not possible. Doing a studio video means we can analyse the game at all.
English
@INorBY2020 @WASPI_Campaign The 6-year SPA rise affected specific cohorts, but the change was announced in 1993 and legislated in 1995; that’s 15+ years’ notice.
The State Pension isn’t a “personal asset”, it’s a government benefit, set and adjusted by Parliament. No one “lost” money, just the entitlement
English
@Harrison_write @WASPI_Campaign A hike of 6yrs over 4.5 birth yrs was too harsh, made worse by lack of notification and private pension opportunities, no auto-enrolment established or pension advice.
How was it fair that #50swomen bore the brunt of Gov failings to the tune of £181bn?
English
@INorBY2020 @WASPI_Campaign And I think you’re missing the point that the core message has been public since the 1993; pension ages were equalising. That’s 15+ years of notice. Not perfect comms, but it’s hardly a govt secret now is it???
It feels like your personal gain might be blurring the facts a bit
English
@Harrison_write @WASPI_Campaign You're missing the point that Gov can't get it's own leaflets correct in 2019 yet you think we were adequately informed in 1995 with no internet, social media, catchup tv, few and incorrect news articles. previous Gov Ministers have admitted failings but you know best? 🤔
English
@INorBY2020 @WASPI_Campaign You’d had the 70s equal pay, sex discrimination, and employment protections acts that brought de jure change. What other levers should the govt have enacted???
I’m also struggling to see how this should be now my generation’s (as the taxpayers) problem?
English
@INorBY2020 @WASPI_Campaign Besides - where do you think women and men should have a different state pension age???
English
@INorBY2020 @WASPI_Campaign I find it pretty hard to believe that someone who missed the budget where the rules the change, subsequent acts of parliaments, leaflets, and letters - would get their information from MP booklets.
Plus the WASPI campaign was in full force at that point
