Multi-millionaire Iceland boss wants to axe pension triple lock.
Full UK state pension (received by 35% of pensioners) is less than 50% of minimum wage.
Millions can't save for private pension
2m pensioners live in poverty. 110000 a year die in poverty.

General Sir Richard Barrons spelling out the narrative thats being pushed: the sick & disabled, kids in poverty, pensioners, they all need to suffer so we can have more bombs.
In the UK, sitting peacefully opposing genocide is deemed terrorism whilst burning houses, rioting and targeting minority groups is considered ‘protest’
I didn't realise last night
@BBCSportScot coverage involved Kenny miller who is currently working in Isreal as Maccabi Tel Aviv manager
Bbc are now really taking the piss even inviting a pundit on our screens who works for a club that celebrates genocide
Many MPs tell us that the current state pension age is 'unsustainable'. Which is odd, really, given that they can claim parliamentary pensions as soon as they turn 55.
😡😡😡”The analysis done by private firms was sometimes so poor that NHS radiologists had to read scans again, raising questions about the benefit of outsourcing.”
The government promised “the biggest wave of insourcing in a generation”. They must deliver it now.
Kit Malthouse, a mainstream British *Conservative* MP:
"If that is what Ben-Gvir and his henchmen are willing to do to British and European citizens on camera, what does he think they are doing to Palestinians off camera?"
Privatisation of the NHS.
NHS spends record £241m outsourcing scan analysis to private firms.
Private sector focused on profit extraction, not service. Money buys less. Public purse depleted.
NHS capacity not expanded. Why would it train staff?

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust.
We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.
No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.
In 2021, Tory govt froze annual personal allowance (PA) at £12,570.
Labour continued with it. If PA increased in line with inflation, it would be £16,048 for 2026/27.
As a result, someone earning £20,000 will pay extra £696 income tax in 2026/27 alone.

BREAKING :
The UN accuses Israel of committing EXTERMINATION in Gaza.
EXTERMINATION.
Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
“Israel is responsible for extermination, murder, using starvation as a method of war..”
—The UN Human Rights Council
The U.S. is starving and killing babies in Cuba, and the media is staying silent about it.
The U.S. is starving Cuba like Israel is starving Gaza.
This's a criminal act of collective punishment. This’s a crime against humanity. And no one is talking about it.
Netanyahu, está muy enojado con la publicación de este video de Lamine Yamal, y el Barcelona.
El Mossad, hace maromas para bajar el video contra los genocidas del mundo.
Israel, está molesto con la difusión de este video. Hay que difundirlo.

Islamic prayer room in Blackburn was fire bombed today.
It’s on every live news channel, with reporters at the scene.
No wait, who am I kidding, none of them have mentioned it.
Tory Govt froze UK income tax personal allowance (PA) at £12570 in 2021, continued by Labour.
Inflation adjusted PA would be £16048 in 2026/27.
Millions of poor forced to pay income tax.
Capital gains & dividends taxed at lower marginal rates than wages

I’ve just been in Scotland.
The writer Aldo Leopold once said that even the smallest ecological education leaves you walking through ‘a world of wounds’ which nobody else seems to see.
Scotland’s beautiful hills and glens have for the most part been stripped and scarred and left utterly desolate by generations of landowners, land managers and dreadful politicians.
You can drive in any direction for hours and see nothing but sheep and more sheep on denuded hillsides, pockmarked with vast, artless blocks of monocultural conifer plantation deadzones.
Even where there are few sheep, red deer numbers are artificially inflated for the canned shooting industry and the deer do just the same as the sheep, leaving nothing but cropped grass from the top of the hills to the bottom of the valleys, a gigantic bowling green with contours.
Developing countries which have suffered a loss of trees and nature on anything like the same scale have the rest of the world rushing to offer assistance in restoring it. Think Madagascar, or Nepal, where things are fast now being turned around.
Many of the pockets of natural woodland that remain in Scotland are totally infested with head-height invasive rhododendron.
Some landowners are turning things around, to the fury of their neighbours, but they remain a small minority. Those places are fast becoming truly magical islands of what once was and what could be again.
It’s even worse under the sea, out of sight, out of mind. Scotland says that marine protected areas represent 38% of its seas. It’s bollocks. Even the most destructive fishing practices such as bottom trawling are permitted with impunity in nearly all of it. Just 1% of Scotland’s seas are actually protected.
This is what happens when you have a population that has lost touch with what nature is, and can’t see the ravages which surround it; governed by politicians who are in hock to a small minority of established vested interests who simply won’t have it any other way.
Aberdeenshire West being Aberdeenshire West. Guys, if you think a man with £22m wealth who is a descendant of the Tsar has much in common with the working man, you’re wrong. You do you though.
Afternoon @wesstreeting
Just enjoying a lovely Sunday lunch in the garden with my family - roses are coming on nicely
Then I remembered that this child killer is still out there working in our NHS
So thought I’d drop you a line
Sorted it out yet?
