State pension...means tested

She/they would love to head that way. It’s been bubbling for over 15 years and won’t go away. i recall Blair dallied with the concept. I suspect they want an Australian type model. There is a degree of sense in those well off sacrificing more to those less so but how do you transition when anyone around (say) 10 years from nominal retirement date has budgeted and planned to receive the benefit. And why not coz they’ve paid for it via their NI.
Whichever way she/ they turn on benefits will result in misery and unrest.

She's got a very obvious tic now that she has to put "as Prime Minister" into almost every answer.

Whether it's to convince or remind herself in the face of the unlikelihood of it all, or to convince anyone who's not paying attention and won't believe it, I'm not sure.

Alternatively, it may be to cover the sound of the programming cassette tape.

She is toast after a month. What a load of nutters they are. Far right clowns.

Sure fire election loss if that’s what they come out with

It’d probably cost them more to implement than they’d save.

Really sad that she is the best that the country has to offer for the role of PM

Damming indictment of the state of the UK and hurts our global credibility every second she remains in office

i know some junior managers where I work that have more gravitas than this charlatan

hopefully someone taps her on the shoulder and gives her the word that she doesn’t have the confidence of the parliamentary Tory party so should step down post haste

The pensioners are safe just the rest of us she wont say what she is going to do

PiP is going up by inflation

99.75% of the nation never chose her so no one considers her the best on offer, just a deluded load of clowns in the C&U party

Brexit hurt this country immensely but it also radically changed the face of the tories. The modern, centralist element was replaced by traditional out of date hardliners. Ironically Corbyn was labelled a dinasour yet it’s the tories taking us back to the 1980s.
