Same here regarding the low income pensioners. From what i can tell those on basic state pension should be ok. The new 'rules' state that those on benefits and pension credit. will NOT have the wfp removed, hopefully protecting the most vulnerable.Those 2 NI cuts have given me approx £250.00 per month, so many pensioners who have private pensions will be very much better off. It’s those that are just above the margins that I feel for, and am uneasy with their plight.
Is Reeves going to increase the minimum pensions limit? I do hope so.
Not yet....If you live off pensions (or investments) you can be on a million pounds a week but not pay NI.
Thats the thing its everyone paying a share, I dont mind paying a bit extra but it needs to be a percentage off everyone.I’ll pay, and many more like me. Some of us are a little bit better off and expect to pay our share, yet the Tories have just given me a load of extra money in my pay packet when our social infrastructure is/has crumbled.
What the fuck were they playing at?
There are no NI deductions on private pensions.Those 2 NI cuts have given me approx £250.00 per month, so many pensioners who have private pensions will be very much better off. It’s those that are just above the margins that I feel for, and am uneasy with their plight.

Absolutely. My point was that the total figure is in the same ball park as the one already known. Given Reeves is on the record for ending it as far back as 2014 they were always going to do it. Like the Tories they just weren't upfront about it.It's already been stated by the likes of the IFS over the past few days that the Tories weren't being totally upfront, yet here you are clutching at straws.
So anybody not blindly cheering on every move the new government makes like it's their football team is a Tory now? Or indeed the tired old classicOh, and Labour will have to do far more "wrong" than this to even come close to what your dickhead Tory mates have been up to for the past 14 years.
Not a fan of austerity governments regardless of the colour of the rosette is all it is pal.Ah right. Didn't realise he was a Corbyn fan boy. Some of that lot are seriously bitter about Starmer
It's hardly an austerity government, more an austerity measure. And given that it's now been cleared up that you're not a Tory, I'm sure you won't have an issue in anyone blaming any Labour austerity measures on the state of the finances that the previous government left them with.Absolutely.

As for straw clutching ...

They've only been in power for 3 and a half fucking weeks you desperate twat! Let's see where we're at in 3 and half yearsNot getting rid of the 2 child limit for universal credit
Keeping the bedroom tax
Taxes going up
Using private healthcare to help (save the NHS)
All of these things were a cunts trick when the Tories used them.

Why, who's going to get in ahead of them? The Tories? Fuck me, that's some straw-clutching right there ha ha!No I wont you angry piss drinker, straight out of the blocks because someone pulls your preferred cult up.
The way they are going they won't last the 4 years.
