Yes, there are actually 3 petitions running simultaneously, all of which ought to be of interest to us, which is why I brought them to the forum's attention.

 

The one calling for relief from taxing the state pension is of particular interest to me. Not only is my state pension frozen, its taxed as well!

 

A double insult IMO!

Well the State Pension is not taxed as such. If your only income is the 200 quid or so, that's only 10400 per annum, below the personal allowance. I t would be much fairer to deduct the S Pension from the Allowance first, and that should be equal to the Minimum Living Wage which the Govt quotes now and then. 

And, of course, introduce the raise in Pension for all of us out here who are living in some countries they deem unsuitable for raises.

Much as I loath the man Corbyn at least had unfreezing pensions in his 2019 manifesto.

Indeed it was,on Page 76.

For some strange reason I always thought the manifesto was a political party document that senior members had signed up to.

Nobody seems to want to challenge Starmer on the U turn.

For those who will be applying for their UK State Pension in the future?
 

 

I had thought better of you but recently you have posted a couple of videos without any explanation.

 

The headline is attention grabbing but it never actually says how they calculate this supposed "cut".

The video is a complete waste of time to watch as just talks about stuff you can think about in the most general terms.

 

How old is it - I ask as the amount of a full pension quoted after nearly 3 minutes or so is incorrect as of today?
