Pensions joy or pensions misery for millions? Tracking how @daily_express front pages see the world

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

Wondered whether yesterday's court case might make for a pensions headline - the Mail has gone big on the front page, but somehow it's only made page 9 of the Express.

@RedCircleFP I've not been around for all 10, just decided not to start with a blank slate! The index proper started in March 2017, with a total of 164 headlines up to that date.

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

Afternoon everyone - long time no tweet! We had a rare increase in the #ExpressIndex yesterday - no less than a "Bumper rise for pensions"!

@David_J_Robbins Ours not to reason why... maybe it was just a slow news day?

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

@CashQuestions @NormaCohen3 My only question is why they didn't take the usual "for millions" line for this story.

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

@RedCircleFP On it now!

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

@CashQuestions Sorry, have been in hibernation - on it now!

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

@CashQuestions @David_J_Robbins Upward?

@RedCircleFP Hmm... A purist's view!

I think we've had similar before - 28/01/2015 "Pensioners to keep benefits"

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

Friday's headline was "That's Why Pensioner Perks Must Stay" - would you say that's positive, negative or neutral? #ExpressIndex

@CashQuestions If it's unclear, I'll always check what the crowds think...

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

@CashQuestions It's from 2014 I think (22 April wasn't a Tuesday this year) #OnTheBall

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

@dontdelay @RiddlywalkerB @Innealadair Thought I'd missed one but is that from 2014?

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

Almost missed yesterday's headline - "Pensioner perks facing the axe"

@CashQuestions @HenryPryor Millions means millions.

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

And for those of you who follow the "For Millions" table, this is the fifth "Boost" since the start of 2010, drawing it level with the classics "Crisis" and "Shock".

[ExpressPensionIndex @ExpressIndex]

I can't believe we had another "For Millions" and no-one nudged me?! It's been 131 days since the last headline, but today was a Pensions Boost...

@RedCircleFP @ANGIEBROOKS11 @NJM71 They haven't done a pensions front page for a while hence #ExpressIndex has been static for some time. It'll leap into life as soon as they print a "for millions" headline!
