I agree completely on the issue of what is important to ... the hope that the 'double lock' will deal with this concerns seems wilfully blind to the impact of the on the over 65s...

On tax & pensions - of course the personal allowance is well above the level of the state pension, so only top-up pensions are taxed, and as they are accrued with tax relief in the first place, taxing them on payment means they remain taxed once (as income)

Its not suprise that has pledged to keep the 'triple lock' on ;

The older generation are much more likely to vote & he needs to keep these on board with the programme...

But, for those criticising this policy, lets be clear:
the is not going to be solved by impoverishing .

Rich pensioners are taxed, most pensioners are not rich & if you think living on a state pension is easy, then clearly you don't receive it...

Of course the have never been the party of youth, their base has and always will older voters: with no mortgages and lots of savings. That base remains now despite their abject failure in lots of areas such as and but things like the keep them on board.

However the problem for them is that elderly members is that they won't all be there after a long spell in opposition. Where do new members come from after 20 years of ignoring youth? 3/

I’ve crunched the numbers, not looking good for & vulnerable people on means tested income in UK

Warm home discount is dead, except for with big, old properties. The pension guarantee also guarantees monetary support because those people more likely to vote .

Bigger your pension, bigger your house the bigger the help.

New COL scheme coming next year is real terms cut coupled with loss of . Genuinely worried of outcome on millions of vulnerable/disabled people

did you know that public sector banks now discourage pensioners' queries on their pension accounts due to the new Sparsh pension system? Besides, if you are a senior citizen as digital non-native, you struggle on several fronts. Firstly, proving life digitally. Then crossing browser hoops to register on the new site. Thirdly, if you've retired prior to 2016, you don't get to see your pension status details online as yet. in are now orphaned entities.

Section titled " and "
Capping social rent at a maximum of 7% is something. It's better than the 11% that was predicted. With the this should help.

I criticise the tories a lot. I despise them. But I will give some credit.

I'm glad to see more funding for - as this has been too low for too long. We need more flexibility for employees to access so they can support their loved ones. We need to enable more to access support at home from the council.

@SusanMichie yes both Liz Truss, Kwazi Kwartang & Jacob Reece Mogg all said over 8 million β€œEconomically Inactive β€œ when pushing the ERG/IEA/55 Tufton Street β€œ Get Britain Moving β€œ message.
They know unemployment through long covid/carers of long covid/shielders mean unemployment high not low!
Just shifted figures into PIP/ESA/DLA/SSP/ Carers allowance/Early retirement.
