That would be a change.
All not well in Europe,
EU farmers plan protests as Von der Leyen approves Mercosur trade deal
Deal objected to by France will, if ratified, cut tariffs on trade with Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguaywww.theguardian.com
Absolutely. The IHT protest in London would have been of an entirely different nature had it been the French (ignoring that it would have been in Paris).Surely farmers protesting is the definition of business as usual in Europe?
There’s nowt wrong with that.Setting all your pants on fire and wearing a shreddies box under your jeans would be a change too. I’m not sure it would be a positive one.
That sounds like trussThe reason we’re skint isn’t a few train drivers or MPs or immigrants getting more than you think, it’s because we’ve got a stagnant economy and a demographic time bomb like half the western world.
If the Labour government were to fall it’d be more likely someone like Farage would get in, especially with all the talk of Musk looking at donating millions to Reform.In that case we best give the guys who fucked us over immeasurably for 14 years a go. It's about time they had a chance!
That’s a takeWould have put up the additional rate of tax by 1% to 46% so he would have paid for it himself. And mine,
That pretty much sums up how I feel about it. Paid a fortune in taxes last 5 years I worked. Stopping the WFP felt like quite a kick in the teeth. Kind of “thanks for your contribution but now just fuck off”.It's a good point if more paid in we'd but in a better position than we are, what I was trying to put across was that I support the case of those that can afford to give more should do so but I wouldn't exclude them on small gifts having paid over and above the contributions they've put in. For someone whose paid in millions to help others £300 is surely a drop in the ocean.
Massive own goalThat pretty much sums up how I feel about it. Paid a fortune in taxes last 5 years I worked. Stopping the WFP felt like quite a kick in the teeth. Kind of “thanks for your contribution but now just fuck off”.
I honestly wish there had been an option of not paying NI but making your own arrangements, health insurance and bigger personal pension. It’s just been a huge switch off for me, I’m afraid. It will have been for others as well.
Fuck you Starmer, you boomer gammon.
It’s the “about face” given what Starmer was saying before the election (the videos I posted).Massive own goal
Easy solution to raise the figure it cuts off but no compassion it appears
That said many pensioners are very well off including my family
But not all Pete.Massive own goal

Of courseBut not all Pete.
Like I said there is a possibility of getting the aid through the local authority, postcode I guess or even stricter?Of course
Just received invite from Coventry South MP to do some door knocking to encourage pensioners to sign up so they can get the helpLike I said there is a possibility of getting the aid through the local authority, postcode I guess or even stricter?

They’ll winCant see it if im honest. They don’t have the local concentration or party machinery. Even that poll that has them above Labour would only give them about 60 seats. They need the Tories.
So who would you vote for at the next GE? Your options seem to be limited given pensioners is clearly your hill to die on and given Mel Stride (shadow chancellor) said just the other day that the triple lock is unsustainable so bye bye triple lock which is surely more damaging to pensioners than means testing WFP’s. Lib Dam’s?That pretty much sums up how I feel about it. Paid a fortune in taxes last 5 years I worked. Stopping the WFP felt like quite a kick in the teeth.

Far to early to decide yet. I will take a view on the manifestos and who is more likely to keep to what they say. Or at least who is saying stuff which will benefit me and others similar.So who would you vote for at the next GE?

I've already signed up!! And you didn't even have to knock on my door.Just received invite from Coventry South MP to do some door knocking to encourage pensioners to sign up so they can get the help
Worth a few hours of anyone’s time I reckon
Were you not in favour of the petition to call a general election immediately? Surely for there to be any point in calling a general election mere months after the last one you need to have a strong viable alternative in mind?Far to early to decide yet.
Be fair, many people wanted just to get rid of the Tories and not because they saw Starmer as some superior political being.Were you not in favour of the petition to call a general election immediately? Surely for there to be any point in calling a general election mere months after the last one you need to have a strong viable alternative in mind?
Yeah good luck with that. Not sure how you’ve managed to get to pension age without realising that non of them ever deliver their manifesto and none of them ever will.I will take a view on the manifestos and who is more likely to keep to what they say.
I mean if they were to actually benefit from the £100M or whatever it is that Musk is talking about.Cant see it if im honest. They don’t have the local concentration or party machinery. Even that poll that has them above Labour would only give them about 60 seats. They need the Tories.

They’ll win
I’m old enough to remember when we had to leave the EU to stop foreigners meddling with what happens in the UK.I mean if they were to actually benefit from the £100M or whatever it is that Musk is talking about.
This doesn’t even make any sense. Absolute babble.Preferably a woke free zone. I'm getting sick of a vocal tiny minority dictating to the silent majority.
The petition was a "shot across the bows".
I’ll just go with a wild card then.Yeah good luck with that. Not sure how you’ve managed to get to pension age without realising that non of them ever deliver their manifesto and none of them ever will.
One person walking disaster area. No need to build on the green belt, no need to rip up planning laws - “ there are plenty of houses”Is this real?
Looks real, if incredible, to me.Is this real?
