@cynthmc @ExploringAlway @PolitlcsUK Not talking about you. Talking about the ones that stop working the second they're entitled to state pension and all the trimmings. Country needs more people like you

@daholstead @ExploringAlway @PolitlcsUK I’m 65 still working and been working full time ALL my life since I was 11 with a paper round then in cafes at weekends and then part time after school to full time when I finished so don’t class all us oldies as spongers

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham says he's looking at raising the personal tax-free allowance from £12,750 "It has dragged more people in - pensioners - and that particularly has become a growing issue"

@SteveOwen16 @PolitlcsUK No it’s not. Look it up ffs

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK NI is specifically for NHS and Pensions you gimp

@SteveOwen16 @PolitlcsUK So embarrassing. National insurance and tax go into the same pot for government spending you fucking lightweight

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK Thick knobhead, tax doesn't pay your pension. National Insurance does. Which I have paid since I've left school and am still paying now. You are a stupid stupid bellend

@freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK It’s the department with the biggest budget 🤷‍♂️

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK That is fuck all when you look at what is being spunked elsewhere.

@freddyaspinall @grumpyalget @PolitlcsUK Probably but he was being a dick so

@daholstead @grumpyalget @PolitlcsUK Bit of a dickhead comment that.

@freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK It’s not just 12.5k though. It will be way higher when you retire, also it’s your free public transport, winter fuel allowance etc. this is the problem. It has gotten beyond generous

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK We had a deal! We never complained about paying in to the system, knowing that money was going to pensioners. I’m 54 and by the time I retire I will have paid into the system for over 50 years. I think I will have earned my measly 12.5k a year

@grumpyalget @freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK Nah just to smug pricks 🙂

@daholstead @freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK Such a lovely guy ,your mummy must be so proud of you or you extending the same wish for her.

@freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK True but almost 60% of the DWP budget is spent on pensions. Gotta deal with that as a priority

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK Look at how many are on Universal Credit as well!

@grumpyalget @freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK It’s alright. Good thing is you all die soon

@daholstead @freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK So sorry mate,we apologise but keep paying

@freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK Look at the uk tax burden now compared to what it was and look at how many people are pensioner age compared to any other time.

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK How do you work that out?

@SteveOwen16 @PolitlcsUK Paying next to nowt in tax only to sponge state pension and all the trimmings when you became old and useless

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK Stupid cunt I've worked all my life

@markswfc4life @PolitlcsUK Tax burden is at a historical high. Current pensioners paid a lot less in to the country to get way more out of it. It’s really not that difficult to understand

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK So someone who’s worked all their lifes how on earth have they contributed less 🤡

@SteveOwen16 @PolitlcsUK Scrounger

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK Eat shit you cunt

@ratisnmykitchen @PolitlcsUK I’m saving my arse off because I have to. How many pensioners are now just sponging off the state I wonder 🤔

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK Are you not saving for your retirement ? I am sure when your old you will be more than happy for your pension at 68 oh wait that depends on if you are saving 😉

@AWeeWumman @PolitlcsUK I probably pay more a month in tax than you did in an entire year when you were working

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK Pensioners like me contributed for 50+ years from age 15 to 65+ then continued to contribute through volunteering, babysitting. Etc. I doubt if you contribute half as much.

@SteveOwen16 @PolitlcsUK Fuck you, get a job or die already

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK Fuck you

@markswfc4life @PolitlcsUK Should they fuck. They’ve contributed way less to get way more and leave it on their children and grandchildren to pick up the bill. Fuck them

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK Those who have worked hard and contributed all their lifes should be on par with anybody who contributes now, ya fucking muppet.

@freddyaspinall @PolitlcsUK Have they bollocks. They take more than they ever put in

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK They’ve already paid their share you fucking knob

@crochetjenny @PolitlcsUK They’d hardly end up homeless. There’s far too much wealth hoarding in this country

@daholstead @PolitlcsUK I doubt they'd be eligible, plus there's very few single dwelling properties available and not many being built.

@LunarPharos @Andrew_20_11 @PolitlcsUK The state pension should not rise faster than real term wages. It’s absolutely wild that anyone thought that was a good idea

@daholstead @Andrew_20_11 @PolitlcsUK That’s rather strange. Are you acting out of reason or emotion? Are we to cut benefits for the elderly today simply because we won’t receive the benefits we deserve in the future? It is not the elderly who are to blame for all this, but the government and the times we live in
