When I started paying National Insurance contributions in 1976, the deal was that I'd get a pension providing for a basic standard of living in a then-unimaginable 50 years' time. But now I've finally got there, it's just half the minimum wage.

@lukerobertblack Keep off the roads and out of our schools and hospitals , the generations that you so despise paid for them not you .

The state pension is a social security benefit funded by today’s working population. This is a fact, whether you like it or not.

@DonnaLouise1212 Khan and Starmer will never 'call them out' they WANT anarchy. Starmer wants Britain to collapse. This makes way for the 'New Normal'
As for Jihadi Khan he wants all whites out of 'his' london.

Not happy with smashing up & looting shops, these feral little b*stards are now smashing up police cars. When will our knee bending leader stand at his podium calling out these little twats. Wheres the full force of the law?

I have a strong distaste for the class war and reverse snobbery that is so prevalent in the UK - but Rory Stewart is a classic example of someone who mistakes his accent for ability, and confidence with competence. An absolute half wit.

@TiceRichard Tory incompetence is the reason we have the treasonous government that we have .
English
Tory stupidity knows no bounds
They blew up coal power plants, reduced North Sea production, introduced Net Zero, Carbon taxes & the Energy Profits Levy
Now Tory hypocrites want to copy Reform & reverse all their terrible energy mistakes
Never forgive
Never forget
Jamie Jenkins@statsjamie
Remember 2021 when the Tories literally blew up our energy security? 💥🧨 We used to have coal as a guaranteed emergency backup for when the wind didn't blow. Now, in 2026, we’re forced to beg for expensive gas imports or pray for wind. Utter lunacy.

@Olgachristie Have you noticed that all the people that moan about our pensions are perfectly happy to use the infrastructure, schools , roads , and more , that we payed for with our taxes
English
Yes they have. Why do you think people have to have a certain number of years of NI contributions to claim the full pension?
Miriam Cates@miriam_cates
No one has ‘paid into’ the state pension. NI payments are spent by the government of the day, not put into a pot with your name on. Using these terms just perpetuates the myth that the state pension is a contributory scheme. It isn’t. It’s a non-means tested universal benefit paid for by current taxpayers.

@cornwall70001 But topping up a pension via pension credits is means tested , and is based on the joint income of you and your partner. So if your partner is younger and still working you won't get your pension topped up . As for cold weather payments 🤣
English
Then explain why I’d get a reduced pension if I didn’t pay enough NI contributions.

@falklands_utd Argentina could take the Falklands with a rowing boat while Starmer is PM

On this day in 1982, the Falkland Islands were invaded by Argentina.
Never take your freedom, sovereignty and democracy for granted.

CHAOS IN CLAPHAM CONTINUES

Unacceptable.

@ehannah0 @Keir_Starmer I can't get involved with other wars because I am PM of GB , but I can send billions to my buddy in the Ukraine while our pensioners freeze to death 👿 .
Ps , I am just off to a meeting with my EU buddies to ask how much it will cost to let me lick their ar@e
English
Just in case you’d forgotten @Keir_Starmer,
17.4 million British people voted to leave the EU.
You might not like it, but that doesn’t give you the right to undermine our democracy
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
