Shameful.

@lukejcr This is a pathetically small plaster over a gaping wound costing young people so much of their wages every year. Why not cap what can be accrued or write the loans off earlier? Triple lock for OAPS but no help for us trapped in this debt cycle…
English

I’m an MP with a Plan 2 student loan myself, so I know exactly how millions feel about interest rates.
Capping them at 6% is a clear signal: Labour is on the side of hardworking graduates and is tackling the cost of living head-on. 💪

@boredblkgrl @everlucive Personally I hate it as an infertility story because she magically gets over it with someone else, it’s not exactly good representation imo.

@TaylorSwiftChar Surely the problem is when the song is out already it’s just not driving as much new traffic to it by having a single? I watched the music video and then what else is there to do?
English

Since "End Game" release I had never watched a Taylor Swift song to have this performance on chart after being release as single.

@PopBase I don’t agree with surrogacy ever but for someone who already has two healthy children it seems especially sinister and egregious. We’re going to look back on this time where wombs were rented with disdain in the future.
English

Meghan Trainor tells PEOPLE that surrogacy is not “something to whisper about or judge” after welcoming baby girl via surrogate:
“It wasn’t our first choice, but we had endless conversations with our doctors on this journey, and this was the safest way for us to be able to continue growing our family. We are forever grateful for that option. […] I want people to know that surrogacy is just another beautiful way to build a family. It’s not something to whisper about or judge. It’s rooted in trust, science, love, and teamwork. Every family’s journey looks different, and all of them are extremely valid.”

@StevenloweLowe @PolitlcsUK Those things don’t work now, and I say that as someone who did those things and has a house - they didn’t work. They’re too inflated, cutting those things doesn’t make a meaningful difference. It’s rent, bills, and lower than inflation salaries.
English

@rachaele1997 @PolitlcsUK How do you think I bought my first house? No holidays for 5 years, no expensive mobile phone, no meals out or takeaways, a 15 year old car, no TV subscription gym subscription etc. people these days won’t make the sacrifices.
English

@StevenloweLowe @PolitlcsUK You’re either about to be struggling on a £14,000 pension or you have £500,000 in savings. If it’s the latter you don’t need state handouts.
Have you seen the data about how long people need to go without any luxury to save for a house or are you choosing ignorance?
English

@rachaele1997 @PolitlcsUK Don’t need to save for a higher pension. My savings portfolio will top £500,000.
Boomers are well off because they were careful with their money when younger. Under 30s now just chuck it away and moan that everything is too expensive.
English

@LarryClaret1 @PolitlcsUK 1 in 4 have over a million in assets. There is no room for younger people to build this wealth as for the most part they can’t buy houses or save due to rising costs of bills, rent, groceries etc. It’s disingenuous to say young people should just wait their turn.
English

The “richest generation” receives around £14,600 a year in gross income - ~£10K below minimum wage for a worker. Currently, just over £3,000 of that is taxable. After the change, roughly £3,600 will be taxed, so based on the basic rate the government will take back about £110 of the increase.
The challenge is that younger people often compare their situation to those who have had decades to build their income and assets. That gap can feel unfair, but it’s largely down to time and experience rather than anything immediate.
English

@ElginWhites2022 @jc84848484 @PolitlcsUK They were paying for a lot less people’s pensions! It used to be 6 workers for every 1 pension, it’s now 3 for every 1 and will be 2 soon. The amount I pay is extortionate to a group where 1 in 4 has over a million in assets.
English

@rachaele1997 @jc84848484 @PolitlcsUK Spongers!!
And whose pensions were today’s pensioners paying for when they worked you absolute moron.
English

@StevenloweLowe @PolitlcsUK Although you are in the top 12% of earners in the UK - people my age are told consistently to cut luxuries, perhaps you might use your remaining working years to save for a higher pension!
English

@StevenloweLowe @PolitlcsUK I am obviously not talking about people who need it. I’m referring to the 1 in 4 of that generation who have over 1 million in assets and STILL get that money and other assistance from the state with no need of it.
English

@supertanskiii I do not support her policies or politics but every time I see ‘Rachel from accounts’ commented anywhere it makes me feel so depressed, no male chancellor would be getting that kind of disrespect.
English

@jc84848484 @PolitlcsUK I’m saving for a private pension, there won’t be a state one when I retire 😂
English

@narindertweets For all the people saying ‘what about when you’re a pensioner’ I’m not selfish so I don’t want handouts I don’t need. The same people screaming about the lifting of the child benefit cap to keep children from starving seem to be pretty happy with this 🙃
English

Lets punish those who actually WORK in this country to help fund wealthy pensioners sat on mortgage free homes and a cruise or two a year.
The British pension system is set up to guarantee the state eventually goes bankrupt. 13m rich pensioners do not need it.
We spend £185b a year on BENEFIT handouts to the economically inactive, way more than any other area of public spending. The £5 a week NI they paid in the 70s in between spending half their life on strike does not come anywhere near enough to fund the massive HANDOUTS they take.

Pensioners will get more money next year thanks to our commitment to the triple lock. We're supporting pensioners to give them the security in retirement they deserve. Labour is cutting the cost of living.
English

@Keir_Starmer You’re giving more handouts to the richest generation in the country, what good are you doing for those of us actually working?
English

@iconpopnews I feel like Noah Kahan is the obvious choice? Or Hozier?

@Keir_Starmer What about all our energy bills going up? Not everyone takes the train but we all use electricity…
