@willglloyd I think Burnham will announce he’ll keep Reeves as chancellor in an effort to reassure the bond markets

@notayesmansecon Is it wise for the BoE to sell bonds given the political climate???

@timothy_stanley This is where Reform will end up in IMO. They’ll be big govt with ambitions to nationalise water + railways, but will be very socially conservative on trans rights + immigration etc.

[rt hon Sir Desmond Swayne TD MP @DesmondSwayne]

Many 10s, 20s & 30s already believe the Government simply won't have the money left to pay them a state pension

We must do right by our children and grandchildren and return state pensions to normal growth, so they still have a viable state to inherit

@DPJHodges The statement would be difficult to believe for any other politician, but for a former Director of public prosecutions and former QC - I find it ludicrous.

No robust questioning Mandy of Epstein links despite the evidence, unable to tell he was lying, and no interest in vetting.

@PolitlcsUK Unless the plan is mass emigration, I fail to see how this will end the affordability crisis.

There is nothing here about boosting supply

[Dominic McGregor @DominicMcGregor]

I’m 32 years old and I want to change the state pension.

With the triple lock, based on historical growth (4.5%) when I reach my pension age.

The state pension will be £30,100 a year.

This would account for £512bn a year.

The current government budget is 1.2Trn.

This would be 3x the current NHS budget.

The triple lock is unsustainable.

Now the debate, no one is saying that pensioners shouldn’t recieve support. That goes without saying.

But there shouldn’t be a non-means tested, non contribution based pension which gives everyone blanket support.

Especially when you consider 1 in 4 of over 60 years are asset millionaires.

My view is, we need to have a means tested only state pension.

Which is reassessed every 3 years.

There is no “pot” people pay into, national insurance is just a tax - there is no ring fenced fund for a state pension. It comes directly from taxation ever annum.

Without changes like this, young people will suffer while older people - who receive their pension and political protection because they actively vote - will continue to have a glorious quality of life.

[Harrison Taylor 🇺🇦 @Harrison_write]

@liamtribb He left us to go to a top 4 club but no one wanted him, so ended up at Bruce-era Newcastle on less money than we offered him, and then basically got released the moment they could get good players in.

I don’t think he exactly went to Southampton out of choice

@Niallfox0711 Since when has the Betway Cup NOT been a major trophy???

[Harrison Taylor 🇺🇦 @Harrison_write]

@OliDugmore @darrengrimes I see your point. BUT I think there needs to be more focus in govt on reducing the cost of living (utility bills, rent, etc) rather than push the burden on businesses.

Currently the MW is too close to the medium wage, so businesses hire people they don’t need to train (not U25s)

@tds122 Smith + Bashir are too young to completely discard, but they shouldn’t make the team on their form.

I like Carse, but think he’s too expensive to be an opening bowler. Like Tongue, he does just have that wicket taking ball in him now and the

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

Note that a graduate in late 20s earning £30k pays a marginal rate of 37%: income tax + NI + loan repayment.

Someone in late 60s earning £30k pays income tax at 20%. That’s all. And they’ll have a c£12k state pension.
