Promises? Let's not forget: - Promised no tax rises, then put through tax rises. - Promised lower energy costs, then championed the highest electricity costs in the world. - Promised to "smash the gangs" that arrange transport for illegal migrants. Then saw record numbers of illegals arriving on our shores. - Promised to freeze council tax... Mine went up by a record 5% in a single year. - Cancelled the winter fuel allowance. Then wasted our money on 2947361948 other things. - Is still leading a war against British farmers, whilst also giving away £500 million to foreign farmers. - Promised better opportunities for our children. Then introduced VAT on private schools, causing many of them to close down and those kids to struggle to find public school placements. - Told the USA that we still have free speech, whilst arresting thousands of people (more than Russia!) every year for hurty posts on the internet. - Promised to secure our borders. Our borders seem as porous as ever. - Promised to put more cash in your pocket. This is the highest cost of living that I've experienced in my lifetime. - Promised to grow the economy. Then shafts businesses with even more tax, being sure to prevent any growth. - Promised to make our streets safer. Then released loads of prisoners and watched knife crime reach new levels. - Lied to WASPI women. - Promised to uphold democracy, then cancelled a load of local elections. I could go on.

That £82k over 40 years (from 1986) would be £200k in 2026 when compounded inflation is considered (at an under-estimated 3% inflation) They're drawing on that amount now, at current rates. But so many people still insist that inflation is good...

For the retired people in the comments claiming "I paid more than my fair share". Actually, most of you didn't. You're being subsidised by me, my peers, and the children we won't be able to have.

@DannyBee595 @isnit0 They are contributory. Public sector workers defer wages as a trade off for the pension. I earned in the public sector nowhere near what I'd have earned in a similar job in the private sector.

PSA: Pensioner Spending is the single largest line item here - *£160bn*. More than half of all benefit spending. More than NHS England, or all NHS Providers. Want to pay less tax? Reduce the benefits we give to people who’ve had an entire life to prepare and save.

@Theo_Griffiths None of the older people wanted you to stay inside either. But yet there's still a refusal to accept the fact that we should never have locked down in the first place. If we get another man-made lab leak we will do it again, I guarantee it.

I'm slap bang in the middle of the pension argument. I've been working for 25+ years and I won't see a pension for another 25 years. Personally, I wasn't really expecting a state pension because I can see the rug getting pulled at some point. The fact is that people 50 years ago were promised a state pension. They have been told that the rises in NI every year were there to ensure that they got their pension. For people to suggest we should somehow end the state pension is just unfair. That's not to say that it isn't a problem. That's also why there has been legislation enforcing private pension enrollment as an effort to move the pension burden away from government. The issue is that we are at the crossing point where people are paying both a mandatory private pension contribution and NICs towards a state pension they'll probably never see. Perhaps the solution is to move NICs into private contributions somehow? The problem for the government is that NICs are just seen as another tax and it doesn't want to risk losing that lovely tax revenue. But like all taxes the government doesn't feel particularly obliged to spend them in the way you would like or how you might expect.

Taxes DID pay into a state pension. They don't now, because the country doesn't live within it's means. This bizarre belief that inflation is fine has got us here. It isn't the fault of the older generation that this is the case. The youth are advocating for MORE government in our lives, not less. MORE social security, but only if you've not retired. MORE financial support for the workshy, adding more and more to the national debt. What do you think will happen when the current generation of workers hit retirement age and they've never had a job, have zero assets and expect the state to continue to support them? Will they get financial aid as long as it's not called a pension?
Ben@BWoodzy99

Your taxes (including NI) didnt pay into a state pension they paid for day to day spending, you have no automatic right to one The current non-means tested triple lock pension is both unaffordable and immoral. Time to get a grip.

I grew up in what I thought was a free country, known as Great Britain. Wind forward 50 years and it turns out half the Scots want to be independent and if one says anything slightly off-colour, one can expect a police visit. An absolutely shameful deterioration. Britain is led by absolute imbeciles. No-one of any moral fibre even wants to try to lead Britain. Having said that I have great hopes for Rupert Lowe. He will certainly garner substantial support here in Upton upon Severn.

@CliffordF55 @OldCodgerLeague @NeilMcCoyWard I get what you're saying, but if the revenue is the same then I would take the 9% low volume as there's less involvement, less of a supply chain, less after-sales costs etc. But yes, cheaper workers = cheaper prices.

So the minimum wage just went up and the government is very proud of itself. Here is what they are not telling you. Your wage goes up. Your tax goes up. Your National Insurance goes up. HMRC takes its cut before you see a penny of that £1,500. Now your employer is paying more for every single person on their books. They are not absorbing that. Nobody absorbs that. So prices go up. The coffee you buy on the way to work costs more. The lunch you grab costs more. The haircut costs more. All of it costs more because the people serving you are now on higher wages too, and their employers did exactly the same thing. So you got a pay rise, and everything got more expensive at the same time. Almost like it cancelled out. If they actually wanted workers to keep more money they would cut their tax. That's it. That's the whole idea. But that would mean the government collecting less. So instead they raise the minimum wage, taking a cut on the way in and benefit from the price rises on the way out through VAT, and call it a historic day for working people.

Clearly never ran a business or employed anyone. How is this Thatcherite BS? The private sector is what fuels our economy, it's what grows your pension and advances technology. By making it more expensive to employ someone, prices have to go up, so cost of living increases. It isn't a difficult concept. Products are so expensive from decades of inflation, made worse by increased costs to employ people. Do you think products just become more expensive due to greed? Competition takes care of that and when it doesn't the government steps in to stop monopolies.

@NeilMcCoyWard Dumb Thatcherite BS. If you keep wages down, then no one can afford to buy products, can they? If you don't want workers paying taxes, then call for a wealth tax and upper tax bands on high incomes.

@ReemAmirIbrahim What about the £55 billion that goes to public sector workers on their luxurious pensions? They all get the state pension too!, So that's another £55bn ontop of your £150bn each year.

The state pension costs working-age Brits over £150 billion a year. Is it fair for young people to pay the highest tax burden in British history to fund every single pensioner? Especially when 25% are millionaires?

@JonathanRo11063 @PeterMcCormack Because parents don't have any accountability anymore. You're not even allowed to teach your children what's right and wrong, the state took that away from parents a couple of decades ago. If you can't educate your own children then you can't stop them carrying knives.

@PeterMcCormack The group chat fell out with me this morning because I suggested the parents of anyone under 18 caught stabbing should do the prison time as well as the child. Why are we worried about kids running amok and the parents who created them arent? Theyd think twice if mom was jailed.

I will always make decisions that are in the national interest. It’s why we aren’t getting dragged into the Middle East conflict, and why we are fighting to protect your living standards. And while opposition parties have responded by dividing communities, we respond with hope and pride. Pride in our communities, and the hope of a country that’s better for our children. That’s what we’re fighting for. Vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.

My wife's boyfriend spends most of zer time in the bath now, since zer bladder has been destroyed by snorting ket. Society needs to make much greater accommodation for people with ket bladder, such as mandating urinals in every shop and on every street. Zer bladder can only hold 20ml. End the bigotry against people with ket bladder.

🚨AUTHORITARIAN BRITAIN: Police Throw a 75-Year-Old GRANDMOTHER with Double Hip Replacements Into a Van & REFUSED Her a Chair for Offering Peaceful Conversation Britain’s police priorities are shameful. 75-year-old grandmother Rose Docherty was arrested in the street for silently holding a sign: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” She stood peacefully offering consensual conversation to anyone who approached (particularly on coercion, an issue close to her heart) without approaching or speaking to anyone. Officers threw the frail pensioner, who has had double hip replacements, into the back of a van, then held her in a cell for two hours and refused her a chair. This thuggish treatment of a peaceful elderly woman, while violent mobs often face lighter responses, shows how far free speech has fallen in the UK.
Skint Eastwood@Skint_Eastwood1

🚨Police FINE Woman for Silently Praying in Her Head – Welcome to Britain’s Thought Police" British police issued a fixed penalty notice to a woman for silently praying in her own head outside an abortion clinic. She wasn’t protesting. She wasn’t speaking. She wasn’t even moving. This was the third time the same force had targeted her for the exact same “thought crime.” She had already been arrested twice before for silently praying and cleared in court both times. Now they’re back harassing her again. When cops start policing what’s inside your mind, you don’t live in a free country anymore, you live in a police state.
