@CABP_News @blueice999uk @TorstenBell Can you imagine? Before the US/Canada border got strengthened this was how it was 👇 Not photo-shopped or AI. The British State Pension increases yearly for inflation (uprated) on the US side of the line, and NO increases (frozen) on the other side. What kind of law does this?

🎥 UK House of Commons — March 12, 2026 Liberal Democrat MP Christine Jardine raised the issue of frozen UK State Pensions today during Business of the House. She highlighted the impact on pensioners abroad — and the burden placed on countries like Canada and Australia. Thread 🧵👇 #EndFrozenPensions #UKStatePension @alancampbellmp

@CABP_News @MarkJCarney @Keir_Starmer It is important that both Prime Ministers work in concert to eliminate the injustice of frozen pensions.

As PM @MarkJCarney addresses Parliament in Canberra 🇦🇺 today, Canada 🇨🇦 and Australia 🇦🇺 together represent the majority of frozen UK State pensioners worldwide. A joint message to PM @Keir_Starmer would carry real weight. Two nations. Shared values. One opportunity for fairness. 🤝 #EndFrozenPensions #CanadaAustralia #Commonwealth #CdnPoli #AusPol

@KronisTamara Thanks to you @KronisTamara for your insightful questions about the plight of frozen British pensioners in Canada.

Thanks to Edwina Melville-Gray, Chair of the Canadian Alliance of British Pensioners, for explaining the circumstances of UK-born Canadian seniors who paid into the system for decades only to find their pensions frozen when they moved to Canada. By contrast, Canada does the right thing and indexes the pensions of our citizens who move to the UK. This issue affects nearly 3000 people in our own community of Nanaimo-Ladysmith. If only we had a Prime Minister who was friends with the king who could raise this issue… I urge PM Carney again to do the right thing and advocate for these Canadians as part of our CPTTP negotiations. I’ve included additional links to Ms. Melville-Gray’s testimony and my speech in the House on this topic below.

TGIF… Tell Gran It’s Frozen 👵 For thousands abroad, it’s not a joke — frozen UK State pensions mean no annual increases in some countries, while others get uprating. Fairness shouldn’t depend on where you live. ✅ Time to end it! ✊🇬🇧🌍 #EndFrozenPensions

@KronisTamara @MarkJCarney Thank you for your passionate arguments demonstrating the discrimination suffered by British pensioners in Canada.

UK state pensioners living in Canada don't receive indexed pensions, but Canadians abroad do. @markjcarney may be friends with our King but he has abandoned our commoners. It's unfair, outdated and hurts seniors who spent their lives contributing. #EndFrozenPensionsCanada 🇬🇧🍁🇨🇦

@SalmaZahid15 @CABP_News Thank you @SalmaZahid15 for recognizing the discrimination felt by frozen British pensioners in Canada.

Thousands of UK pensioners retired in Canada have been denied their lawful pensions by the UK government because they retired here. They were on Parliament Hill today to ask our government to urge the UK government to fulfill its obligations to its citizens. #EndFrozenPensions

@CABP_News @Ninepenneth We salute Anne for her service as a veteran and her continued advocacy for frozen British pensioners everywhere.

🎖️🇬🇧🇨🇦 WWII veteran Anne Puckridge Anne has been a powerful voice for fairness — standing up for 400,000+ 🇬🇧 pensioners in 🇨🇦 and beyond whose UK State Pensions remain frozen. Thank you, Anne, for your courage, service & unwavering advocacy. 💐 #EndFrozenPensions #UKStatePension
