@ricwe123 THIS is what I really DO NOT understand about anyone who wants to rejoin the EU, simply so they can avoid a queue at an airport????
The EU is run by nazis and out and out fascists

That particular moment when EU Commissioner Thierry Breton openly warned people there would be consequences if they didn’t vote the way he wanted, basically threatening anyone who dared to go in a different direction.
This is the rotten core of what the EU really is......

@albieamankona If we can waste millions abroad and for illegals, we can afford to be fair to pensioners, who, as you say, financed their forebears
English
Nobody has a “RIGHT” to a state pension.
It is a benefit paid for by the tax payers at the time you receive the benefit and it is subject to the same checks, balances and affordability criteria as every other benefit provided by the state.
Whoever told you national insurance was invested in a personal pension pot for you, lied. It’s a tax, like income tax, VAT et al.
Neil Clark@NeilClark66
These very nasty attacks on the state pension are unrelenting, particularly from this former Tory MP and @GBNEWS presenter. These people want it either scrapped altogether or only available to the very poorest. But all who have made the requisite National Insurance contributions have a RIGHT to a decent state pension. It’s a moral issue too. The elderly deserve a decent life in their remaining years. Indeed, looking after the elderly properly is the hallmark of a humane and civilised society. The anti-state pension activists are truly despicable.

@GlobalDiss THIS is exactly why we should NOT rejoin the EU, to be dictated to, on every level.
What a ridiculous, and criminal, statement.. "If they vote the wrong way"

🚨🇪🇺 WATCH THIS: Von der Leyen WARNS Italy
UNELECTED EU boss openly says if Italians vote the “wrong way” they’ll face SANCTIONS like Hungary and Poland
This is DEMOCRACY?

@RmSalih It happens both ways. I have to travel on a different bus to work after an altercation with a black kid sexually abusing an older white woman. He threatened to kill me when I stood up for her.
English
"You stupid p#ki, n#gger pig."
Just got on a bus in Whitechapel, East London, and this drunk, racist white guy started abusing the bus driver.
No one said anything so I started filming and then a brother told him to get off the bus and accidentally knocked my phone out of my hand while barging past me.
The racist then got off the bus sharpish and walked away.
I don't go out in London late at night very often but when I do there are often issues on public transport with people being racist.
This is completely unsurprising to me as I see it on X every day, I see it on the mainstream media and in politics.
White radicalisation in particular is a huge problem in this country. Racist, white people seem to get brave when drunk and their true feelings come out.
Anyway, let's get this guy identified and arrested as no one should be subject to racial abuse these days.

@JeremyVineOn5 @AnnabelDenham1 @AliMilaniUK @theJeremyVine why is no one talking about the money we send abroad, and the cost of illegals, FIRST
English
"We've got no growth."
"We've got stagnant productivity."
"We've got sticky inflation."
"We've got a housing crisis."
@AnnabelDenham1 argues against the triple lock because young working-age people need economic relief.

@NeilClark66 @GBNEWS before we even consider taking ANYTHING off UK citizens, we should stop borrowing money to send abroad, anywhere, and throw out all the illegals

“It’s as if a form of wilful blindness has taken hold of some on the right, preventing them from seeing the state pension for what it has become – a universal basic income for those over a certain age.”

@SandyofSuffolk personally, i think the tax threshold should be the minimum wage. What is the point of a "minimum" wage, then taxing it
English
The tax threshold needs to rise to £15,000.
If it doesn't, every single old age pensioner will be paying tax on their state pension next April.
Only Reform will raise the tax threshold to £15,000 in their first term in government, raising it to £20,000 by the end of their term in office.
You know what to do folks. Vote Reform.

@LOVillaJavea also 69+ and working, my taxes covering most of my state pension. Paying tax on every penny of additional income, which I NEVER would have imagined under a Labour Government
English
I’m 69 and a quarter and I’m still working. Do those 9 million think they have no responsibility to add to the economy?
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
About 9 million people of working age (16-64) are economically inactive They are the problem Not the pensioners who have worked their whole lives getting a measly £12k state pension that’s nowhere near the highest in Europe How about we spend less time picking on those who have worked - and more time calling out the unfairness of those who don’t. express.co.uk/news/uk/219153…

@romfordgeeza you are not, every penny of my other pensions is taxed (something I didn't expect, so still working, and paying tax on every penny extra)
English
I had a boomer telling me to just cut small expenses and buy a house.
Like skipping coffee will magically produce a $100k down payment.
I told him my small expenses are things like internet, phone, and apps that literally run my life.
He goes, In my day we didn’t need all that.
Yeah… in your day houses cost 2x income, not 10x.

@LBC not harsh enough, obviously or they would not drown on the beach

@jonbrooks £4,750.. and set a record for the street.
My deposit meant that my mortgage was £30 a month.
I am one "boomer" that appreciates what we had. My parents made me save 10% of my wage, and with interest rates high, it paid off, being a home owner at 22.
English
Asking older generations how much they paid for their first house.
$15k-75k.
Incredible.

"retreated" ??????
FFS, we are the laughing stock of the world because of our glorious (liar) Starmer
English
I’m proud of our UK Armed Forces, who left these Russian vessels with no doubt.
Their movements were not covert as Putin planned.
Their attempted secret operations were exposed.
And they have now retreated.
Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧@DefenceHQ
This satellite image is of Russian naval base Olenya in the High North, along with their spy ship Yantar and specialist GUGI submarines before they departed port for UK waters. These vessels are designed to survey underwater critical infrastructure during peacetime, then sabotage in conflict. In response to nefarious activity by Russian GUGI submarines and an Akula Class submarine, the Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP deployed our Armed Forces to track and deter any malign activity by these vessels. We worked in partnership with Norway and other allies responding to increased Russian activity in the Atlantic, north of the UK. A @RoyalNavy warship and @RoyalAirForce P-8 aircraft ensured the Russian submarines were monitored 24/7. The Akula Submarine subsequently retreated home having been closely tracked throughout and we continued to monitor the two GUGI submarines, in and around wider UK waters. Our Armed Forces left them with no doubt that they were being monitored, that their movements were not covert as Putin planned and that their attempted secret operations had been exposed.

@JackieD86388657 not only walk in, we would put them up in 5 star hotels

Putin could invade Britain tomorrow and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it, that's how bad things really are
Russian soldiers could arrive here in small boats and just walk in without being challenged
Would you be worried or relieved?
I know how I would feel about it
