Starmer can FO if he thinks he can do that we all have paid into the system so we should be entitled to get our pensions he can tax us on them but it would be a huge change to take away that guaranteed right to a pension. That said I think starmer has a pathological hatred of pensioners because he seems to think they are the only people who should pay tax

had mine 2 years ago, paid every 4 weeks so in 1 month of each year theres TWO payments... bet Starmer will scotch that I think HMRC/HMG should let over women over 60 take the state pension at a discounted rate, 5% less per every year early, women raise families, keep the house, feed everyone and still work |

One of the first thing it said was that I may not get as much as I expected because I was contracted out for several years. I have already had all of that money and used it to buy a flat as an investment.bet Starmer will scotch that I think HMRC/HMG should let over women over 60 take the state pension at a discounted rate, 5% less per every year early, women raise families, keep the house, feed everyone and still work So I was expecting my pension to be reduced but apparently not. I will get the full pension so happy days. |

If you didn't remember the end this time round, you are heading towards old age... When you are really old, you will be of the opinion it's a brand new show you have never heard of before... |
