The Government wants most people to die before they can receive their Pension. It's an easy money grab. I got my N.I card at 16 and was told I'd work till I was 60. Others were told the same thing. They raiding the pension pots of dead people. Us because we won't get it.
#LizKendall wants you to work until you’re 72. I’m not sure people are grasping the enormity of this. She doesn’t want you to get your full pension (the lowest in the West) until you’ve reached 72 years old. Wake up people. FFS.
Blast from the past: "A leaflet produced by the Department of Work and Pensions has been hastily withdrawn after it emerged that it contained fabricated quotations from fictitious people supposedly talking about their positive experiences of the welfare system."…
A year ago today I had the Labour whip suspended for voting to scrap the 2 child benefit cap. Scrapping the cap would lift 350,000 children out of poverty & reduce poverty for another 700,000. Would I vote again to scrap it? Too right I would.Definitely, I will every chance I get

Liz Kendall complains that almost half the country isn't saving ANYTHING towards retirement. That's because they don't have ANYTHING left over each month after paying their bills, Liz. 🙄
We still haven't spent as much money on small boat migrants as Sunak gave supermarkets during the lockdowns when they stayed open every day hoovering up windfall profits. You're being made to get angry at the wrong people so you don't get angry at the right people.
Entire families wiped out in Gaza, hospitals bombed, journalists killed. That’s not defence, that’s an assault on human rights and international law. And has the potential to normalise the same, over and over again, across the globe.
This evening, the far right are targeting a hotel reportedly housing refugees in Canary Wharf. Here is the crowd attempting to stop an Asian person driving a car past! Credit @AntiRacismDay These far right thugs are actually RACIALLY profiling drivers of cars. But its not…
"I don't think there's anything social democratic, or democratic or socialist in creating, in enabling a young person with mental health difficulties to go into a lifetime of benefits." FFS why do people always have to attack mental illness as the cause for these cuts.
NEW: The court did not find a breach of the law. BUT it upheld 2/3 points inc that foreign interference (inc disinfo) *is* a threat to fair elections (which UK had denied!) Lawyers say hugely significant judgement with far-reaching consequences. AND that an appeal should be…
NEW: Landmark decision on UK's failure to investigate Russian interference to be handed down tomorrow. A five-year legal battle in UK and European courts comes to a head: will we finally - learn the truth about the Kremlin & the Brexit vote?
UK govt to review state pension age (SPA). SPA rising to 67 in 2026-28. Further rises likely. Rich retire whenever they want. Others work till bones ache. Life on low wage and low pension. Many won't live long enough to get pension. It is euthanasia. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Reform's George Finch, the 19-year-old leader of Warwickshire county council, pushes forward plans to spend £150,000 on hiring political advisers despite pledging to cut waste and save money. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
If you don't want them working and earning a living. Then the tax payer better be prepared to start paying them more than a few quid a day to live off. Which is it? Higher taxes or LET THEM WORK?
We're taking action to stop migrants working illegally as food delivery drivers.
Bloody hell. The hyper-aggression again. Is she a misanthrope??
The work and pensions secretary has announced a review of the state pension age, explaining that almost half of the working age population isn't saving anything for their retirement Full story ➡️ trib.al/OMEm1Or
Apparently a Lord said in the Lord's debate on the #UCBill that the disabled "Self identify as disabled" to claim health related UC benefits . What chance do the sick & disabled have when this is the ableist lies pumped out by politicians & the media.
The pension age of 67, proposed for next year, is too high especially for those in manual jobs. 74 would be ludicrous. Many would never see retirement and sickness benefit claims would rocket. Anyone with any sense can see this...so what is their game?
State pension age could rise to 74 amid warning of UK 'tsunami of OAP poverty'. Male life expectancy in poorer areas such as Blackpool is 73 years. What is planned? Inequitable distribution of income prevent people from saving. Govts won't address it mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Every email to the Peers is part of the reason we've got a nudge on the Severe Conditions Criteria NHS diagnosis criteria though and that is very, very important. And we'll go through Hansard with a toothcomb for things useful for future legal stuff so really huge 👏👏👏to all x
The Universal Credit Bill has passed. The Motion of Regret did not. I am heartbroken. We got powerful truths spoken in the Lords which may help later in legal and public fights. But.... What is this thing called Labour. Not something I morally recognise Love to all x
Told you this was coming. Sooner or later, they’re going to try to means-test the state pension. Just like with other benefits, they’ll claim the system is unsustainable and will collapse if they don't 'reform' it.
The Labour government has announced a review into the state pension age. So much for this spiteful and deceitful government claiming to be supportive of ‘working people’.
Farage lied.
We’ve fact checked Farage’s claim made on @bbclaurak show about £1m savings at West Northants Council and it’s not true. Council bosses say the claim is ‘hard to validate’. nnjournal.co.uk/p/not-true-nig…
