Sounds like he’s absolutely mad for the gear.He’s triggered me since the day I heard him interviewed on the radio.
Struggle to understand why people born without a pot to piss in, then become the absolute greedy fuckers they and their family would have despised, growing up.
Sold his business for £145M! Seems like his boys still own 10% and hold senior positions, so they’ll be ok, whatever the old fucker does with his money..
Donated £70k to the Tory party and became ‘business advisor’ to Cameron and Osborne. I did him one disservice though, he was a full on opponent of Brexit, so he then donated money to the LD party. He’s now a fully paid up member of Reform PLC so he might well now be a Brexit supporter!
Sorry, you're way behind everything. The large majority of pensioners are well above the pension credit threshold (though that may depend on what "just above" means).Sorry I’m behind the thread, Reeves has misjudged the mood, the large majority of pensioners are just above the pension credit limit. So won’t be able to claim extra benefit.
The part that annoys me is treating the state pension as a benefit when it’s been paid for by workers or people who paid their N.I. stamp WFP was because the cost of heating.
If they are serious they would realise that when people get old they need the heat on so more heart attacks, hypothermia ending up in hospital.
incorrect - the workforce today pays tax and NI through the front door and their money goes out the back door to pay todays pension. The "stamp" element is your contributions that establish the amount of your pension. If you pay tax today its paying your next door neighbours state pension on Thursday - thats why the ratio to working people paying tax and wealthy people stumping up their tax is important because there is no element of investment in the state pension.

You probably got your money back in the first ten years of getting your pension.Yeah, and I expect to live to be 104 years plus so that I get my money back!

Dishonest ??? Starmer is 4th division stuff when compared to the PL dishonesty of the Story Party. He has inherited a shit show that will take some sorting and for that he needs time, patience and some latitude. The Stories had maxed out on every credit card they had….someone has to pay and it will be painful for the foreseeable…time for us all to take a reality check.The surprise isn’t that Labour are doing what they’re doing; although few would have expected them to do anything as idiotic as scrapping the winter fuel allowance.
The surprise is that Labour were allowed to get away with a manifesto and a narrative during the election campaign which were clearly works of fiction. The non-dom tax and VAT on school fees were going to pay for it all, all the while being committed to balancing the current budget and dishing out bumper pay rises to keep the unions happy. Pure fantasy.
I suspect that over the next year or two, even the biggest stooges on here will admit how dishonest it all was. Though not for a while yet, of course.
Meanwhile Starmer really is in trouble with this fuel calamity and the unions have put him into a very difficult corner now.
Was it Brown who decided to raid the pension fund and combine it into general taxation that’s when he changed the name into a benefit.incorrect - the workforce today pays tax and NI through the front door and their money goes out the back door to pay todays pension.
