@Woodywudpeck There are loads of us on the old state pension. Qualifying years were more but the payment is significantly lower than the new state pension.
Only can claim pension credit if on a very low amoutn
@TerraOrBust Labour never understand that you can't spend money you don't have.
Every time one of them speaks more money flies towards a pet project. I agree with money for the rough sleepers but really other areas need large cuts.
Otherwise we will be under punitive IMF rules.
@miriam_cates It wasn't the pensioners who spent the money it was the government.
When a state pension was first suggested the intention was to ringfence the money. But of course it was a lot of money and the governments decided to use it.
They should have invested some of the taxes.
@vandermarins Delta's rib injury is going to be a problem. She was in pain after dancing the rumba.
No way she is going to be able to do lifts. Rib injuries take some weeks to heal.
Sham because she is a brilliant dancer
@EJWoolf Travelled across Guildford early this morning to visit my husband. I won't say there were queues at the cash machine but there were certainly 2-3 people ar each.
That time on a Saturday morning don't usually see anyone.
@SupportReformUK They might have done in 1970's- 1980's during the cold war.
After all they told us to build a nuclear shelter under our kitchen tables with cardboard!!
@Elizabe36752311@petemorristwit But zero explanation as to why this is necessary. I always thought Keir Starmer did too much stuff at the podium but Andy Burnham believes he owes us no explanation
@Alicejtzl@petemorristwit No I won't leave my home either. Safer and warmer there even with no heating.
Did notice today only my early journey into Guildford that there were small queues at cash machines. Usually dont see anyone.
@TonyCoffey15 I get why they do the cliffhanger at the round table but I think it loses cohesion for that episode especially as its nearly a week until the next episode.
Also some of the challenges are too complex which doesn't make for good viewing.
@leizenomis Well thr Traitors managed to murder in plain sight but the other thing in plain sight in this series is the misogyny.
Blunt and Sheen shout their mouths off continually, never getting anything right but the women have to stay in their lane,
@mikeparry8 Anything in your freezer will only have 24 hours. Otherwise you should be ok if you have a gas hob or camping stove but electric will be first to go.
Look at foods that don't need cooking, it won't be the time to fuss about diet.
Also all need to have some cash in.
@RachelD1892 What makes me laugh is the cans of soup to eat when at the same time you need a wind up radio because there's no power.
Guess they think we all have gas hobs ๐คฃ
