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.

The time to have started preparing was about 15 years ago, but the fucking bastard Tories didn't prepare. They cut the armed services to shreds over 14 years, hollowing everything out. Don't anybody dare try to blame Labour, who were always going to be playing catch-up from day 1
Many MPs are loudly demanding cuts to the benefits budget to fund defence. Have any of these advocates suggested cutting MPs’ own generous expenses, subsidies, pensions, perks & benefits first? Or is austerity only for everyone else?
#bbc another piece of bias views on "this week in westminster". Remember the cause fir the chaos in Defense was the 15 years of under investment by the Tories (many are now in reformuk). Also undetinvestmenr in policing, immigration, etc . So can we have some balance!
Dear @KemiBadenoch
£100 Bn general waste by the Tories.
£148 Mn owed by Michelle Mone.
£1.6 Bn stop the boats barge
£21 Bn handed to covid fraudsters
£471 Mn in total paid to destroy PPE not needed/in storage too long.
=
£123,219,000,000
What have you to say about that?
Any Tory crowing that Labour hasn't invested enough in defence really needs to sit down given what they did to defence spending and military cuts in the 14 years they were in office.

Scotland’s wind farms will pay £1 billion to connect to the UK grid.
Meanwhile, projects elsewhere in the UK will be paid to connect.
Scotland generates the energy. Scots should see the benefit.
ALT Graphic showing a wind turbine against a blue sky. Large text reads: “Scotland’s wind farms will pay £1 billion to use the UK grid.” Additional text reads: “While projects in the rest of the UK will be paid to connect.” The graphic highlights concerns about how electricity grid connection charges are applied, contrasting costs faced by Scottish renewable energy projects with incentives available elsewhere in the UK. SNP “It’s Scotland’s Energy” branding appears at the bottom.
Defence spending needs to be increased.
Agreed.
How about getting some of these millionaires to pay their f*cking taxes. Instead of sniping from the sidelines.

Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.
Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.
It’s completely unforgivable.
£715 MILLION to deport just 4 asylum seekers to Rwanda.
That’s £178 MILLION per person.
A catastrophic failure.
A monumental waste of taxpayers’ money.
Yet no public inquiry. No accountability. No consequences.
Why can’t we ban politicians responsible for this level of incompetence from ever holding public office again?
it’s financial vandalism.
MP attendance petition hits 10,000.
Same week: Report that Farage missed 77 consecutive votes, no Clacton surgeries in 10 months, earns £100,000.
Should there be statutory attendance rules? 👇
