Am I reading this right, we are now going to tax pensioners as well? Is this from state pension or private pension? You know what I’ll tell my kid to save fuck all for her future now, she can have what I leave her and blow the fucking lot as she will have to work until she dies anyway.

I thought pensioners already paid tax If they got over a certain amount due to having private pensions

Yes you have the same tax allowance which is around £12,500 pa so anything above that is taxable

Punishing working people for the extravagancies of the now retired

the extravagance of the now retired, fuck me you aint half in for a shock!

Struggling a bit with this 86k cap rule.
Once you've reached your limit, who pays for your ongoing care and what standard of ongoing care are you entitled to - is it the most expensive care home you can find or do you have to go into a local authority home?

National Insurance drops from 12% to 2% if you earn over £50,268/year. Raising it, while taking up to £1,000 off of those on Universal Credit, this will hit the lowest earners the most.
earn £184 p/w - 12% take home £161
earn £967 p/w - 2% take home £947
Disgusting.

Yes they pay income tax if their total income is over the tax threshold but they pay no NI.

What do you think?
I am looking for a nursing home for a relative now.
First question they ask is are you self financed?
If yes they all had places.
Nothing below £1700 a week.

So, once they’ve sorted the NHS without the money that they promised during the Brexit debate, instead caning the down-trodden once again, are we going to see a phased stealth sell off to the the private sector once everything looks rosey?

 

[Vincent van Rough]

Wages are running high at 8% so we can‘t have pensions going up by 8% can we, so backtrack and remove the triple lock instead.

Lie and deny.
