We need @RishiSunak & @SteveBarclay to spend time in any A&E to witness the horrors of corridor care

DISGRACEFUL: Example doctor👇 This is what @RishiSunak wants to do to your pension on Wednesday by removing indexation to the LTA (which may never return).

(Yet another) stealth theft of your pension worth between £187k-£303k.

Feeling underavlued? Pls RT if you agree scandalous
