When I had my first car petrol was priced in gallons , changing to litres makes the price rise seem less dramatic. PETROL IS NOW £8.96 a gallon.

Cut the triple lock and EVERYONE damages their future retirement.
How are workers persuaded to self harm like this, when billionaires & multi-national corporations pay minuscule tax?

I don't understand how almost every country in Europe can pay much larger pensions than we do, yet we've still got to cut ours in real terms?

Why is a Guardian columnist arguing for the triple lock to be broken? It belatedly compensated for the ending of SERPs. British pensioners still largely receive smaller pensions than on the Continent & thanks to George Osborne, have to wait much longer for them. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

A Guardian headline proclaims 'everyone knows we should break the pensions triple lock'. Given that it's the worst state pension in Europe, there's actually a case for doubling it.

I voted #Brexit and I can say with absolute certainty it was the worst vote I ever cast. I would rejoin in a heart beat. facebook.com/reel/1303678665…

Saw the highlights of #ManchesterUnited v Fulham and I dont see what Neville is saying. United had decent shots and hit the woodwork more than once.

OTD: @D_DeGea saves a penalty in the last minute vs West Ham as United win 2-1 away - 2021

It shouldn't need to be debated, Britain's elderly, have the same increasing bills every year as everyone else. Their state pension must be increased to 'at least' the minimum wage. . . .
Come on MP's, do your job and support and protect UK oldies from inflation!
Look at the top pension paying Nations - Every one of them a member of the European Union!
Then look at the bottom of the list!!!
Then think about the 'triple lock' - It's not enough!
Why is it even up for debate??????????????

Oh dear . We are a nation of serfs
The Times: "We must start weaning the nation off the state pension"
Presumably this means everyone will receive full return of every single penny paid in NI contributions throughout their working lives plus interest.
Anything less would be unacceptable.

Pensions are the new targets for hate.
The lowest state pension in the developed world, but you’re supposed to despise old people now.
Interesting isn't it we can't 'afford' State Pension.
But we can afford to give King Charles who is already a billionaire another £48m, 4,000 State Pensions, a year extra.
Hmm...

Our state pensions are the lowest in Wrstern Europe by a large margin
Its getting tiresome hearing all manner of tweeters and commentators asking how you are supposed to live on £12,548 a year as a pension.
The short answer is "You aren't"
In the UK there are three pillars of pension provision.
The State Pension is the first pillar and the foundation of your future retirement income.
The second pillar is contributing to an employer pension which is often matched or better and is tax advantaged.
The third pillar is any additional personal provision you make during your lifetime including ISAs, SIPPs and other investments.

£13,000 per annum is a pitiful #pension by international standards, and we pay it later than many other countries. Why is dignity in retirement unaffordable only here? #TripleLock #bbcqt
