@port27500 @Tinebobagain Why ?
I work and have a private pension which my employer pay 9% and I pay 10%
So why cant they do the same ?
Oh because they are promised a final salary pension which far exceeds what private pensions can offer unless you put shit loads in.
English

@brian_kodi @Tinebobagain Of course they get state pensions, as they pay their NI contributions so are eligible like everyone else.
If you want to reduce employer contributions to the public sector, you'll need to accept that public sector pay will need to rise significantly to compensate.

@christines47372 Paid for Labour BOTS out in force today !
Being paid using our tax payers money ?
English

@miriam_cates Oh I get it now - people like Miriam are paid for by Labour to try and divide the population before May elections by spewing hatred and hope that the youngsters will associate it with reform !
PAID FOR LABOUR BOT and probably with our tax money !
English

Opponents of non-means tested state pension claim that those who paid tax during their working lives are entitled to this state handout. But by that logic, wealthy working age taxpayers should be allowed to claim Universal Credit. The welfare state is based on high earners paying a lot of tax while not being entitled to benefits. Why should this only apply to under the 67s?

“Reform’s commitment to keep the triple lock is the final nail in the coffin for the hope of pension reform from the Right. Britain’s young people are now condemned to pay through the nose for the retirement of the wealthiest generation in history.” ✍️👇 conservativehome.com/2026/04/08/mir…

@tsmiggy Gen x - moved into house with one salary and one kid - second hand tv, sofa, fridge etc. One car for 10 years with second kid. Went out once a year max, one holiday in 10 years. Now i earn a decent wage, wife has a job. Went without but young ones want what i have now

They also fail to check facts, before the spout rubbish. When i bought my house the mortgage rate was 15%, everything we had was second hand, no carpets, no washing machine, hand washing nappys in the sink. We got on with it, and did not look for scapegoats. So they can do one.

It’s obvious to me that the recent attacks on pensioners receiving state pension by the younger generations is simply because they’re too thick and lazy to get off their asses and make something of themselves. They expect everything given to them. Scroungy useless bastards.

@helloKi30596224 Your neighbours just posted that their neighbour has blue hair, nose piercings, cries about boomers and pensions, has multiple pronouns and have just bought their 4th Starbucks of the day and can't afford to but a house.
English

@linmeitalks Do I sell up and move onto the same housing estate or move down into a poorer area with no garden and no parking
English

There are boomers sitting in large houses who don’t even want to free up equity or sell their house to help their own children get on the ladder.
This is the level of selfishness we are dealing with.
Thank god for parents like my mother
She would sell her house in Tottenham tomorrow if it meant helping me…. And I would do anything to make her life comfortable- that’s what family is about. An eco system of giving.
These days many boomers don’t want to help with grandchildren or finacial assistance and children don’t want to help their parents - so much selfishness between recent generations and it will get worse.

Why should young people have to pay for someone else’s retirement?
If you live in a million pound house, and you can’t afford to retire, sell the house. Or don’t. I don’t care. You just can’t expect young people to pay for you!
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
No. I don’t think pensioners should have to sell their houses to retire

@WarrenBonathan @Matt56404055206 @LoftusSteve No Luck involved !
Its called NOT being a benefit scrounger and working your arse off to better your life

@Matt56404055206 @LoftusSteve How about checking what people spend their money on first?

@Phil_Jones01 @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet @UKLabour if you were born in the Henry 8th Period then maybe
English

Who agrees @Keir_Starmer is the best British prime minster in our lifetimes? @10DowningStreet @UKLabour

English

@jessasstrophe Because Starmer is from the legal system and was hand picked because he knows how to use it to hide news
English

calling Keir Starmer the worst PM ever when Liz Truss lasted 45 days and crashed the economy is genuinely unserious

Who agrees that Keir Starmer is the worst PM we've ever had?

@GBNEWS Most cars maximum efficiency occurs at around 56mph.
The further away from that you go, the worse the MPG will be.
So if you travel at 20MPH instead of 30MPH you will use MORE fuel.

Britons could face lower speed limits and be forced to take summer staycations instead of flying abroad

@sarah_go_green How much are you being paid by Starmer and Milliband ?
English

Woken up this morning and my car is charged to 100%.
No getting in line. No hikes in price. I fixed my tariff for the year and i can even top up on solar which no one can block!!
We need more energy independence!
Rooftop solar where excess can be added to your car or the grid makes sense!!!
