One in four pensioners are in millionaire households. One in eight are higher rate tax payers. They are the wealthiest generation by far and have seen their wealth increase far faster than any other age group. The poorest in society? Sharon Graham is talking complete nonsense.
"I can't understand why we keep going to the well of the poorest in our society." Sharon Graham, Unite's General Secretary, tells @bbcnickrobinson why she thinks wealth taxes should be the solution, not dropping the triple lock pension pledge.
Community note
Pensioners have a lower poverty rate (16%) than children (31%) or working-age adults (19%), per official UK data; the triple lock is not means-tested and applies to all recipients. jrf.org.uk/uk-poverty-sta… ifs.org.uk/articles/are-p…

I would have loved to work in commercial partnerships for City. Every year you go into your performance review and discover that you are the best to ever do it
year after year we were presented with figures that showed man city generating more commercial revenue than any other premier league club.

Watching ITV news right now: The coverage of Andy Burnham's plans to scrap the pension triple lock looked like this: - About 30 seconds dedicated to the benefits of scrapping the lock. - A minute-long sob-story of a pensioner who won't be effected by the change. - A cutaway to Nigel Farage (who leads one of the smallest parties in parliament) lying about how we would be better off removing benefits from immigrants, scraping Net Zero and some other bullshit This is how your media will defeat sensible economic policy every single time.

They called Arsene Wenger a “specialist in failure” because he abided by the rules. Sad💔

This is significant. Tribunals are often reluctant to declare someone "dishonest" as it is quite a high bar. Not here:

Pensioners are incredibly selfish as a generation. When you ask them if they support giving children and students the same benefits - like free travel- they get, the majority say no. So you might want to talk to your friends Robert.
The pension needs to be increased and it needs to begin earlier. People celebrating this are very strange and forgetting that they will be old at some point. The pension is already poor as it is. The UK and its politics is very messed up. People cheering cuts. WTF!!

Fella on 5Live - “I plan to leave my kids £100k each, but if pensions go down then I might not be able to” Why should the state subsidise your retirement so you don’t have to use your own money?

Declared “major incident”, PM chairs Cobra meeting, US President says bad men were “about to cause big damage” & were “under view for long time”, Defence Secretary says arrests “a proud moment”, then…. No explosives, no plot, released on bail. Farmer spotted fuel thieves 😂
🚨 WATCH: Counter Terror Police statement on the five men in the RAF Fairford case being released on bail - They still remain under investigation - This may be activity committed by proxies for a foreign state - Suspects often commit these acts for financial gain

account based in UAE doesn't understand basic british libel laws shocker
🧐 Not a single soul can explain how the leak to the media of an alleged verdict is legal… because it isn’t. Many in the Premier League realise how bad this is and the HUGE legal ramifications that follow…

a club created because of a stadium
In their first 95yrs Chelsea finished in the top four just 4 times and were relegated 6 times until Hardings cash injection bought them 3 trophies. they did however have one league title in their first 100yrs until Romans free cheque for £1 billion cleared
