@nowak_paul @JonAshworth More labour free money from an economy in freefall…

Today millions will get sick pay for the first time, and from day one Paternity leave from day one Ending the two-child benefit cap will lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty. Union campaigning & a Labour government making a difference. Progress made. More needed.

@BellaBaddie__ Watch me!

Be honest for a second: could you travel alone for a month with no friends, no partner, just you?

@albieamankona @SBarrettBar So in other words disincentivise hard work, enterprise, self responsibility and saving, if you are going to be penalised for having any nest egg at the end of your working life, whilst those who have done f*** all with their lives get all the benefits????

I am not “the Tories”, I am Albie Amankona and I speak for myself. Watch the full clip and at no point do I say “vulnerable pensioners” should lose the triple lock. The opposite, I say those at the lowest end should have their state pensions increased whilst those with large with assets and/or private pensions should not receive it. Like the 25% who are asset or cash millionaires. Matt Goodwin levels of inaccuracy in your QT Steven dearest and I expect more from you.

The Tories are in a death spiral I see ... Pretending Britain isn't broken and hurting vulnerable pensioners to preserve our bloated Socialist state is pure madness. The party deserves to go.

@natelonmusk Fact….many of the people in the wealthy areas are black.

@WW3finalboss Europe is many things, but a unified country it never has been, nor ever will be.

Europe should unite and be a country! Do you support this? Yes/No 🇪🇺

@annaroseridgway That is sending a message to all people to never save, invest, be enterprising, or build up any kind of nest egg because once you reach retirement ages you will be penalised in favour of those who have gone through life doing sweet f*** all.

25% of pensioners are millionaires. 55% of welfare spending goes on pensioners. Why don’t we: 1) means test the state pension, millionaires don’t need benefits. 2) increase the amount we give to the pensioners who need it the most. 3) stop the unsustainable triple lock.

@soniasodha @DarrenJohnson66 I am quite relaxed about loosing ten triple lock, but it’s your generation that will suffer the most once you reach pension age.

It's time to retire the triple lock. It's unfair to expect a generation who face much higher housing & education costs than their grandparents to indefinitely fund the state pension to outpace wage growth. comment.press/triple-lock

@albieamankona Well that’s any hope of a Tory revival down the toilet then!

For every £1 boomers pay in tax, they will receive £1.20 in benefits. The state pension should be scrapped. No ifs, no buts, scrapped.

@KirstieMAllsopp @AlanJLSmith And as for the cleaning fee, anyone would think the owners weren’t already getting a shit tonne of easy cash for the holiday rental.

@AlanJLSmith As a holiday let landlord I’d say that 8 hours is unreasonable, but dishes in the sink is rude, so they were probably hacked off and weren’t looking to have you as a repeat customer.

We just rented a property for a weekend break – the owners charge me for an extra 8 hours cleaning above the standard cost. They sent me images supporting their deduction. We left it clean and tidy - ok some unwashed dishes in the sink and a bottle outside. Is this fair?

@KirstieMAllsopp @AlanJLSmith I always try and stay in a hotel/local b and b. Supports the local economy and none of these hidden sneaky extras.

Pensioners are set to receive a £525 boost People on benefits with more than 2 children will get an average of a £6000 boost Why are we mad at the pensioners?

@OverlyBritish @linmeitalks Then we had better make the country more prosperous then….although that looks unlikely with all the death wish economics being spewed out by much of the left currently.

@Robbear66 @linmeitalks In 30 years pensions are predicted to be 8% of GDP, like £340bln+, if the triple lock continues. This would be more than the entire welfare budget rn (incl. current pension costs), it would be 1/4 the current budget. If the triple lock continues pensions will be abolished.

A Lifetime of memories don’t pay the bills. UK welfare spending is set to rise by £18 billion to reach £333 billion this year (£153 billion is state pension). This bill is projected to climb to over £400 billion by the end of the decade, exceeding current income tax revenue. HOW DO YOU PROPOSE WE PAY FOR IT?

@LibertyCappy Indonesia but not Malaysia?????

I agree with Japan being added but why in the world was South Korea excluded?

@MattGubba Well said!

There’s a lot of anger right now between young and old over pensions. Young people say it’s unfair. Older people say they’ve earned it. Both are right. And both are blaming the wrong people. The real problem isn’t pensioners. And it isn’t young people either. It’s the system. Let’s be honest. It is FAR harder to get on the property ladder today than it was in the 90s and early 2000s. Not because of interest rates. But because of access to credit. Before 2008: 100% mortgages. Sometimes even 110%. Minimal checks. Easy approvals. That’s what let people get on the ladder. It also helped push prices to insane levels. Now? Huge deposits. Strict income checks. Low borrowing limits. The drawbridge has been pulled up. No amount of “skip Netflix and coffee” is getting someone on £38k onto the ladder in the South East. That argument is nonsense. But forcing pensioners to sell their homes after a lifetime of work? That’s just as wrong. So we end up with both sides fighting each other… While the real issue goes untouched. There are only two ways out: More access to credit Or lower house prices (Or both) And here’s the uncomfortable truth no one wants to say: More people = more demand More demand = higher prices If we don’t deal with that, nothing changes. Blaming each other won’t fix this. Fixing the system will.

@linmeitalks It’s their home FFS!!!!

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.

@DPJHodges Muslims just biding their time before they have their own party and MPs.

One thing the local elections will underline. It’s not just that the Labour vote is imploding to the Greens and Reform. The Muslim vote, previously a bedrock, is also going to fracture and get hoovered up by a rag-tag coalition of independents. And that’s an existential moment.

@drgerke1 Yes let’s send a message to anybody who makes any money is best off investing their gains outside the UK rather than within our country. Usual half baked socialist nonsense.

Yes - the limit should be 1

@DDBMons @shivmalik That may well be true. But the reasons behind this are due to structural/demographic social/economic changes. Don’t fall for this divide and rule by blaming it all on older generations, whom did not have it easy either. Life in 70s Britain was certainly no picnic.

@Robbear66 @shivmalik Great story… younger generations that just worked hard now can’t afford homes. I work a job that could easily afford a home in the 90s and 2000s, ha no one with less than 10 years seniority owns a home now unless they’re in their 50s and had another career prior to current job

Dear boomers, can you afford to buy the house you live in currently with the wage you used to earn before you retired? If you can’t, then that’s the whole housing problem in a nutshell. It really is that simple to understand.

@rathor7_ Oh shut up!
