If you earn over £12.5k - then you pay tax on anything you earn over that If your pension is over £12.5k then you pay tax on anything you earn over that. So - if you get benefits in total value of more than 12.5k (inc housing benefit etc) then you should have to pay tax. That is fairness. All political parties should be looking at this. We cannot continue to have a two tier system between those who do contribute and those that don’t - especially a system that benefits those who don’t

Absolutely INCREDIBLE 🤣 AFTER President Trump announced Iran agreed to RE-OPEN the Strait of Hormuz… … UK PM Keir Starmer announced the UK and France are “leading” a “MILITARY MISSION” to re-open the Strait of Hormuz These people are WORTHLESS 😂🤡 Time to leave NATO!

50% of what you pay for petrol is just tax for Rachel Reeves. She could halve VAT and help you out while prices are so high. Instead, she’s wasting your money on a record benefits bill.

If The Great Farage walked into my boozer in Liverpool he would receive a chorus of..For He's a Jolly Good Fellow & so say all of us! He is loved everywhere. Starmer out! Farage in!

Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever spoken to? Not “seen from far away” — actually talked to, even for a minute. A quick hello, a handshake, a normal conversation… and you still remember it. Who was it?

Starmer says in The Times he’s “ fed-up” with Trump for pushing up energy prices with the Iran war. Well how “ fed-up” must he be with himself for making our gas and electricity 6-8 times dearer than in the US due to net zero, failure to frack or to exploit the North Sea?

If Queen Elizabeth was a Rolls Royce what is King Charles?

No one has ‘paid into’ the state pension. NI payments are spent by the government of the day, not put into a pot with your name on. Using these terms just perpetuates the myth that the state pension is a contributory scheme. It isn’t. It’s a non-means tested universal benefit paid for by current taxpayers.

For those that appear to begrudge pensioners their state pension just remember that the majority of these people worked from the age of 16yrs until retirement paying their taxes. Compare that to today when there are millions on benefits not paying any taxes but will still receive a state pension. Also the state pension is well below the living wage & yet a lot of pensioners are expected to get by with no additional help unlike people on benefits.
