@FredThomasUK Or parents could act now without needing any government intervention https://t.co/ov4FeFH6Op

@Edwina_Currie Pension credit income limit £238.00 per week, new state pension £241.30 - limit is deliberately set to exclude most. Only eligible if you're on an old state pension with no serps or don't qualify for the full new pension

@LukeLukesenior @Ogilvie_CJ Transpennine Express - refused a £15m bailout for diesel costs so will need to cut services on an already overstretched, overcrowded and unreliable service

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@SimonCalder Not the most expensive but the most eye watering - £42 for a 10 minute 3 mile jouney from Heathrow T5 to Staines. Did this journey regularly in the past and found that the 71 bus did the same for £1.70

@paulmasonnews As a contributor to a global history of communism, you would be aware that price controls on food and other items were common in the Soviet Union - how did that work in practice?

@cabinetofficeuk What is the point of the consultation when it has already been admitted that it will be introduced regardless of the outcome of the consultation??

@Byromew @scott37johnston @tobyg2026 @PolitlcsUK How far do you think that goes in companies that pay their CEOs in millions? They usually have 10,000s of employees for example Tesco - stop paying the CEO his £8m and the other 333,000 get 50p a week each

@RoseEdmunds @annaroseridgway Retirement planning can be difficult when the government keeps moving the goalposts. Brown destroyed private pensions so now I'll work longer and pay much more for less in retirement and now lets take state pension off people who have tried to save (but give to those who didn't)

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@annaroseridgway @BidSurreal I think telling old people to sell all their possessions and home to live in a £100 p/w single room eking out a miserable existence until they die is somewhat more weird

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@BidSurreal @annaroseridgway I think Anna is positively salivating at the possibility of old people being compulsory euthanised so she can have their house and savings and not pay any tax towards pensions whilst completely forgetting that, while it may be a way off, she too will get old

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@annaroseridgway Yet your argument is to penalise those that saved and invested to have something more than a meagre existence and give to those who didn't. Not thinking this one through are you?

@FullFridge2 @commontruth_ @todd_jak And the main issue with communism is that we thrive on incentives and communism removes that - why do a challenging or responsible job or study to become a doctor or engineer when there is no reward in doing so

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@annaroseridgway Big and bloated? It is one of the worst pensions in Europe and amounts to around half the minimum wage equivalent. You want to remove it from people who have spent a lifetime paying tax and NI yet still give it to those who have contributed nothing

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@Davidpr52119342 @confidencenac A single person with the same housing costs on £21k net minimum wage would get another £56 per week bringing their annual income to c£24k per year

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@Davidpr52119342 @confidencenac Her calculation is solely based on someone paying £800 a month in rent getting that paid in full. For people that aren't paying rent because they might own their home even if it is modest, then that doesn't apply therefore deduct £181.64 per week from her figures.

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@Davidpr52119342 @confidencenac a property that you own (and have to repair, insure and maintain) is equivalent to having a further income of £12k per annum to get to her magical £24k a year figure

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@Davidpr52119342 @confidencenac So out of that list, many people on the basic state pension might at best get some money off their council tax and a WFA allowance of £200 - whilst it is more than just the state pension, it doesn't come to £24k as Cates is claiming. She is trying to claim not paying rent on 1/2

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@tomhfh Yeah let's listen to a backstabbing coke head collecting his non contributory MP payoff and pension and £350 a day tax free for turning up https://t.co/TibGxmFNyA

[Paul S @PSilk1]

@KathyParr101 Apparently believes if you own your home that's equivalent to getting another 13k in income too
