State of the UK govt, particularly the chancellor, another #OutOfTouchDoesntCareBillionaire
@Zailrand WHAT savings? Many people are working desperately underpaid jobs already - some not even on minimum wage! Sunak is completely out of touch.
@homebird I thought it was April 1st when I read this ffs. Cutting the £20 benefit uplift and now this. They are just hideous and clearly want us to have no social safety net at all. Nasty people :(
@Zailrand @homebird They have also reduced state pension to £40 per week for some people who have retired overseas. There is a list of countries including Australia where the cuts have been put in place. UK seniors eligible for a full pension should be receiving around £185 a week. It's difficult to save in these times but it would be risky to trust that a UK pension will be there when it's needed.
@garli_lauri @homebird yes, spouse (retired) mentioned this when I (again) suggested we should leave #PlagueIsland. Not like those people paid 40 yrs NI contributions or anything is it?!
@Zailrand @garli_lauri Even if you have paid into a pension, they keep raising the pension age, so you are never getting to that stability.
@homebird @Zailrand I know. Our social infrastructure is broken.
