Want to retire into your 70s? A Government review of the state pension age could see all of us forced to work longer. They're targeting ordinary people to plug funding gaps, instead of the mega-rich. I've signed the petition against these plans, will you? 38d.gs/ckvr
I signed this petition As one of #50sWomen, I know that any rise in #StatePensionAge is discriminatory, increasing the wealth gap between men & women #Women still shoulder the lion's share of #caring at both ends of adulthood, reducing #pension wealth act.38degrees.org.uk/act/pension-ag…
Our members broke down how special tax breaks for the ultra-rich only deepen inequality. The path forward isn’t complicated: tax the rich and build an economy that works for everyone. Read more from @JStein_WaPo at the @washingtonpost here: washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…
You may have heard that millionaires will move if their taxes are raised. We’re here to tell you that’s a myth, and this tax flight fear-mongering hurts working people and blocks progress. This week’s Closer Look breaks down why it’s time to tax the rich: patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives/m…
There has been a staggering 150% surge in UK billionaire wealth since 2010: ▪️2010: £250 Billion ▪️2025: £620 Billion The Government should not be making cuts. It should be introducing a Wealth Tax on the very wealthiest in our society.

To make matters worse not only was the treasury NI supplement gradually withdrawn from 1981 onward, in 1983 Geoffrey Howe started auto credits for men at 60 continuing for next 37 yrs until 2018, excluding #50swomen whose SPA was raised from 2010 onward. #discrimination #CEDAW
Treasury supplement not paid in full since 1981-2014 & not paid at all for 24 yrs 1990-2014 thus producing a deficit of about £271 billion in total over 33 years. Now govt want to tax the #statepension & raise the #SPA. Government needs to own up to their crimes of embezzlement
I've put down a parliamentary motion supporting the proposal from tax experts for a Wealth Tax. A 2% Wealth Tax on assets over £10 million would raise over £24 BILLION a year. That's the fairer alternative to cuts we need. Over 30 MPs have backed it so far!
Adding extra working yrs will increase #Pensions #wealthgap even further, as tax relief currently supports men more There are also health inequalities & caring responsibilities to consider Gender neutral policy does not have neutral OUTCOMES #50sWomen know x.com/KrisGibson13/s…
"The design of pension systems can have an impact on #genderpensionsgap" 👉In 2017-18, >71% of #pensions tax relief went to men 👉3m♀️ don't earn enough to have #autoenrolment 👉#autoenrolment widens gap between low &high earners #50sWomen #FullRestitution researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-…
You might think when pension design was going to be changed so significantly for 3.8m #50sWomen only, govt might have addressed equality of OUTCOME as well as equalisation of ages. No! "#Equalisation of #StatePensionAge without consideration of #equalities principles" Dr Scutt
Yes, you’re absolutely right. The very concept of state-funded later life is under attack. Under relentless attack. They got away with it with the #50sWomen and that has opened the door to dismantling everyone’s right to retirement as you say.
8/ We paid in. We did our part. This isn’t a handout our pension is deferred pay, not a benefit. We earned it. #StatePension #50sWomen #TripleLock #CEDAWinLaw
4/ Women born in the 1950s were hit hardest. Many were forced to work up to 6 extra years, with no proper notice. No time to prepare. That wasn’t choice it was betrayal. #StatePension #50sWomen #TripleLock #CEDAWinLaw
7/ Now you suggest we work until 71 I genuinely hope you’re still standing strong when you get there. Many of us already aren't. #StatePension #50sWomen #TripleLock #CEDAWinLaw
6/ The triple lock doesn’t make us rich. It helps pensions keep pace with inflation. Remove it, and millions fall into poverty even faster. #StatePension #50sWomen #TripleLock #CEDAWinLaw
