@CynicalTrader82 Rate cuts were priced in?

@Conservatives Half of Britain's welfare bill is the state pension, what would the conservative party do to reduce welfare spending on that £146bn?

[Sam ¯\༼ ' ◕_◕ ༽/¯ @samstints]

@bbcquestiontime The thing happening at an exponential rate is the aging population, triple lock and state pension already making up 50% of welfare spending. We're sleep walking through a crisis but no politician will touch the subject because pensioners vote in droves.

@Helen_Whately @Conservatives The clip played at the start... "spending more in welfare than taking in from income tax" - but how will you tackle the issues with scroungers on state pension which makes up 50% of welfare spending?

@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives Sometimes you say some sensible things, and other times you sound absolutely bat shit.

@SpeedoE17 @Nick_JIS @TorstenBell State pension is welfare paid for by the current taxpayer. It makes up roughly half of all welfare spending. £146bn out of £326bn.

@Alexarmstrong Who is storing cash in an S&S ISA when you have the option of tax free stocks? Young people would be much better off putting that into stocks rather than see cash savings deteriorate to inflation. If they need cash then the cash ISA still works great.

@NYCMayor There's so many corporate bootlickers in the comments.

@DuxVul @faisalislam Prices will stay the same and supermarkets will just see higher profits.

@SamCoatesSky How much of that is because long term they would vote for Burnham at a GE? I suspect some would like Burnham to win because it could mean Starmer out in a leadership bid. Similar to 2024 when it was a vote for Labour to get Tories out rather than a vote of confidence in Starmer.

@KrisMootoo @AshCrypto Yields are up because less people want to buy US government debt as risk is higher. Its an inverse relationship.

@mr_james_c You listed them separately but pensioners are welfare recipients via state pension.

[Sam ¯\༼ ' ◕_◕ ༽/¯ @samstints]

@2147mill There absolutely is money for the state pension, it's more than half of all benefits paid out!

[Sam ¯\༼ ' ◕_◕ ༽/¯ @samstints]

@SowellSuperFan @isnit0 Do you know how much the triple lock and state pension not being means tested costs the tax payer?

[Sam ¯\༼ ' ◕_◕ ༽/¯ @samstints]

@ButtercupRevo @skengw23 @SukhSidhuDXB It's not that you need the state to tell you what your labour is worth. It's that business needs to be told what the minimum value of anyone's labour is worth. Minimum wage was originally brought in to eradicate exploitation, if not updated it will slip back.
