Class war continues the abolition of the “triple lock” and its replacement with the “double lock”. To contextualise, had the latter been introduced in 2012, the basic state pension for a single person (reaching retirement before 6 April 2016) would be around £600 smaller than it is today

Millions of UK workers withdrawing from pension schemes to make ends meet Consequence of low wages and high cost of living forcing people into hardship choices - living now v income in retirement. They will have lower private pension in later life and state pension isn't enough even now.

Andy Burnham's plan to set out long-term options for the UK's future relationship with the EU marks a big break with Keir Starmer, argues @jillongovt.bsky.social, but this does not mean he will find it easy to build consensus.

Trump depleted our oil reserves and sabotaged our military. He started a war that destroyed the ability for anyone to replenish their oil reserves and established control of Venezuelan oil. He just talked Europe into releasing their oil reserves. Putin and Xi benefit from everything he does.

These are not “holding facilities” or “detention centres”. We need to call them what they are: concentration camps. The Trump regime is disappearing our family members, friends, neighbours, coworkers, and classmates to concentration camps, where they are abused and, in many cases, murdered.

HOLOCAUST ENCYCLOPEDIA

The term concentration camp refers to a camp in which people are detained or confined, usually under harsh conditions and without regard to legal norms of arrest and imprisonment that are acceptable in a constitutional democracy.

Repealing Thatcher's ban on public ownership of water companies is only meaningful if Andy Burnham brings water into public ownership Over 9 in 10 of us want our water in public ownership. Let's do it, starting with Thames Water

Screenshot of Independent article that includes a quote from Cat Hobbs that says, "Cat Hobbs, director of public ownership campaign We Own It, repeated calls for Thames Water to be nationalised urgently. She said: “Repealing the ban on public ownership of water companies is a welcome step in the right direction, but it is far from meeting the scale of the crisis. “Thames Water should have been in special administration yesterday. “It is in £20 billion of debt and teetering on the brink of financial collapse. “The only option to keep it privatised is to hand it over to a group of US hedge funds. “How can this Government be serious about their promise to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation, if they are not urgently bringing it into public hands?”"

False flag fake terror attack at RAF base went wrong thanks to local resident? Were people other than the 5 arrested (8-10 were seen by the witness) going to cause an explosion to try to drag the UK into the Iran war? Was it going to end badly for the 5 apparently innocent people ?

Abolishing the #triplelock to index state pensions purely to CPI would save the UK government an estimated £2 billion/ year but completely abolishing higher-rate tax relief on private pension contributions would yield a significantly larger £10 billion to £15 billion per year for the Treasury.

The long term goal of the right is to mean tests the state pension, and all the arguments about the triple lock being unaffordable and unsustainable are a dry rehearsal for that. @unitesharon.bsky.social is spot on, we have to defend the principle of universalism.
