@whiddon_tony @TheEconomist Why is it nonsense ?

[marion strachan @minstrawn]

@najvy251 @EU_Eurostat The UK decided to pull out of Eurostat. Switzerland has a myriad of treaties with the EU so I am sure it contributes. Eurostat is a great source of info.
Likewise why UK has difficulty tracking some criminals now across EU. It can pay for access.

@PapusSecond @mikegalsworthy That is from the English bill of rights 1689..

@GrahamB53908119 @mikegalsworthy Where do you get that stat from ? Spain's growth rate is more than double that of the UK at the moment.

@ShipToster69 @PolitlcsUK There are 4million Muslims in the UK. The population is near 70 million.

@t20696678 @sporkfriendly If this is Eurostat data as marked it is old. Eurostat does data for the European Union countries...Please tell me the year of the data for comparison

@Guiseppim @heraldscotland Sierra Leone?

[marion strachan @minstrawn]

@rosscanonman @heraldscotland Scotland had performed England in recent PISA measures. It used to be at the top .

@JaneLovesdogs3 @Jenny_1884 Jenny what happened?

[marion strachan @minstrawn]

@memoirs20s Nothing to do with being British per se.

@FlintonGe Spain has had this since Brexit and I have never been asked to either show m'y return flight or money.. I doubt you would either.

@Jenny_1884 @brightsmile777 Why?

[marion strachan @minstrawn]

@Jenny_1884 @jeanniejuno Why not ?

@FPL_AlexS @marty_meenan @MartinSLewis Interesting when was there a time when people thought the state would totally look after them in old age with state pension and housing etc? I left school in the 80s and it certainly wasn't around in the Thatcher years but maybe it was totally a thing before that ???

[marion strachan @minstrawn]

@veebee2011 @MartinSLewis You appear to have UK pension well below the current 11953 pounds. Also Spanish state pension will now have 37 years to get full pension.(Uk is 35) Also they calculate it differently and it depends on your pay so it can be less than UK pension.

@RedRangerIsBack @carl_stein_ @MartinSLewis Im 55+ and cannot see the present situation as sustainable and don't feel it should go up higher than inflation. Other countries may have higher state pensions but also contribute as much as 43 years . Also I am hoping the fact that people are auto enrolled with work will help.
