@kokeshimum Some people are still working 55 plus hours a week, even after retirement age, so just because you didn’t or your family didn’t, doesn’t mean others aren’t!

Why the fuck should my son have to work 55 plus hours a week when I didn’t and neither did his grandparents or great grandparents ffs.
Stop fucking pretending that boomers and Gen X was out there working 80 hour weeks. We fucking weren’t.
Rush@exRAF_Al
Why does Gen Z feel incapable of getting a second job, or part-time work? If he only has one job, he can work fifteen hours extra a week stacking shelves and save that for a house - and stop blaming other people for his inactivity.

RICH PENSIONERS SHOULD NOT COME BEFORE NEW FAMILIES!

Anybody who argues that the UK can't afford to pay state pensions but can afford to lift the two-child benefit cap is either as thick as pigshit or one of the beneficiaries.

@justaphag6 @Anjelae9 Oh dear, tut tut! That’s the Green Party for you!

@Anjelae9 @MccallCarole made up climate change 🤣🤣 this is the issue with people who are systemically uneducated. unable to grasp basic science or scientific concepts. how make decisions relating to the country when you can’t even fully understand them. and the state made you this way. what a world
English
@justaphag6 @Anjelae9 And you’re going to make this all happen next week are you, these things take more time than you’ll ever have, but it’s a very naive concept, join the rest of us in the real world!
English
@MccallCarole @Anjelae9 Smaller properties, which would be built by a mass of new contracts. An end must be put to NIMBY mentality. Ethical companies would be used to build new green housing, where the contract price reflects the cost of the work. not the cost then an extra £8 billion in excess to keep.
English
@justaphag6 @Anjelae9 And just where do you suggest they go? If they have family close by, and worked hard to save for their homes! What if there aren’t enough smaller properties in the area, you would just make them up and leave! Absolutely nuts!

As US military Aircraft are forced to "fly around" European airspace to Iran-
What would those European countries (and NATO Allies") do exactly, if the Americans just flew over them anyway?
Think about it.

@GMB But you don’t know what Lord Sugar does with his pension, perhaps he gives it all to charity, we don’t know!!

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?
English
@NewsonTed How much are you putting away each month for your retirement? Serious question!
English
Spending cuts means reducing public spending for everyone. Benefits, migrants, over generous state-pension schemes.
We've got to cut the size of the state to get debt under control, unfortunately that means taking responsibility for your own retirement planning.
English
To the pensioners who were howling at me discussing scrapping the triple lock last night I have just two things to say:
Shouldn't you be nicer considering that my salary pays your pension?
The state pension is a safety net, not a way of life. You've had years to save privately.

‘It’s incomprehensible to me.’ ‘That is a lie!’ Dennis Reed and Ted Newson go head-to-head over whether the triple lock should be protected for pensions. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

@Ericthered587 Can’t believe a young man could be acting this in the 21st century! I’d hate to think a son of mine would behave in such a way!

@MAFSshatposting I know we in UK are behind in viewing, but that guy Tyson is awful, he has a dreadful attitude, if he was my son he would be thinking completely differently!!!

Where the fuck did they dig Tyson up from?
The 1820s?
Get in the fucking sea with your 'masculine energy' and your Andrew Tate online courses.
Worst type of cunt.

@triffic_stuff_ What about the trucks that deliver, they use diesel, price goes up of everything! But she doesn’t give a rats ass!!!

Rachel Reeves on BBC Breakfast: "No need to do anything about energy bills anytime soon, it doesn't get cold until the Autumn anyway!"
According to her, pensioners don’t use the heating for 6 months of the year so no biggie!
Absolute genius. Oil prices surging from the Iran chaos, bills about to smash records, but don’t worry we’ll help when you’re on the verge of freezing to death in winter. 🥶
Must be an April Fools wind-up. 🙃

@DMS2864 @SpeakerJohnson @Keir_Starmer I don’t think you understand the concept of our King, he can’t dictate to Parliament, he’s a figurehead only, he can advise but that’s all!

@SpeakerJohnson Sorry he can't vote for The Save Act and that coward won't defend his own people against the tyranny of @Keir_Starmer. You can welcome him but we the people are going to boo him.

It is my distinct honor and great privilege to invite His Majesty King Charles III, The King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to address a Joint Meeting of Congress.
Our two nations share one of the most consequential partnerships in history, and together we will mark the historic milestone of America’s 250th year of independence.

@ReemAmirIbrahim You are extremely naive, have you put your own parents out of their home to help pay? Surely you can’t be so uncaring, have you ever lived on just the state pension, try it and see?!
English
Yes, homes are sentimental. But if you're living in a million pound house, you cannot expect 20-something year olds who only dream of owning a house and starting a family of their own, to pay for you.
It simply isn't fair.
English
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?
English
@DavidSm06669251 I’m trying to understand why diesel is so much more expensive as it doesn’t have to refined as much as petrol?
English
Interviewer: Petrol is up 14%, diesel is up 27%. People are worried.....
Govt minister: we've set up Fuel Finder so people can download an app to find the cheapest prices.
I tried that, my cheapest price is 20 miles away. Another politician who qualifies as a total tw@t.
English
@Labourheartland So how come everyone’s energy bills have been steadily rising! Stop lying!
English
“You’re making an extra £20 million a day while businesses go to the wall, and the government’s answer is to tell people to download an app to check petrol prices.”
You couldn’t make it up.
Labour’s James Murray replies tells you everything about modern government.

The arrogance of Washington is staggering. Pete Hegseth openly mocks the UK Royal Navy on live television, sarcastically demanding they step up to fight Trump's disastrous war. The American empire is completely alienating its closest allies while begging for help.
English
@JeremyVineOn5 What about transport companies, no trucks moving, no food deliveries!
English
Should emergency workers be given priority for petrol?
A possible fuel shortage could mean that some petrol stations would be reserved for doctors, firefighters and police.
Are you worried that you wouldn't be able to get hold of petrol when you needed it?
English
@Bounce_BackLoan Get the diesel bill down for delivery trucks!!!!! 😡😡

Breaking: Keir Starmer moments ago, surrounded by his adoring fans, tells the nation your energy bills will come down on Wednesday by an average of £100 and will stay down until the end of June. Do you believe him...
