Our pensioners are at present, even under the triple lock considerably worse off than our fellow Europeans- & many others. Why is it always pensions & welfare benefits that are singled out? Bring in a wealth tax to fund the national social care service. ##labourisntlabouranymore

Sharon Graham on Newsnight criticises Andy Burnham for going after pensioners instead of putting in place a wealth tax on the rich My view: Sharon Graham asks a valid question. Why is a Labour government going after pensioners instead of a wealth tax on the vast fortunes of those with £10m+?

Problem is, there is actually no pot. The whole thing is a fiction - government creates every penny it spends out of thin air. Taxes destroy money to take it out of the system and keep inflation under the control, rather than putting it back into a government pot. MMT 101.

According to Age UK, 1.7m pensioners live in poverty with almost double that struggling to manage financially. Also, since 2010 the est. of uncollected tax is around £500bn & the option of progressive taxes would also help redress wealth inequality. State pensions:

So reducing pensions for the most vulnerable to fund care so that richer pensioners can pass their property on to relatives. How much Tory can you get?

Food banks haven’t always been needed in the UK. Yet our community of food banks now provide millions of emergency food parcels a year. This isn’t right. In ‘A Taste for Change’, our Social Change Advisor asks: how do we build a food bank free future?

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.

There's nothing worse than an establishment shill, they're already out in force declaring the triple lock on pensions to be unsustainable because they've been told it's unsustainable. It's the worst pension in the developed world, to suggest we can't keep the protections it has is utterly false.

Farage posted this at 12.38 today. It has been hopelessly overtaken by events and shown to be entirely wrong (British nationals involved and they've been released on bail - not very terrorist-like). And if you believe anything Trump says, you are a credulous moron.

A little laundry tip to save money. If you are able to hang washing out and like me finish drying the laundry off in the tumble dryer set a timer on your kitchen timer, smart speaker or phone. You wont forget the washing and leave the tumble dryer going wasting money.

The terrorists had infiltrated the annual Labour Party conference in Liverpool. Thankfully, steadfast police officers discovered old ladies with deadly weapons such as signs with unapproved words. They have been dragged off to cells and now face up to 14 years in prison. Isn't this brilliant?

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.
