We are not all wealthy pensioners. The majority of pensioners have their state pension and a small private pension that takes them over the threshold to claim pension credit. Most of these MPs and presenters are very well paid and seem to forget the majority of pensioners are struggling. Reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment for all pensioners. It is disgusting that MPs and economic migrants get free heating whilst pensioners get the cold shoulder. You are told to save for your old age and when you do the government punish you. I am not of state pension age yet because the government moved the goalposts. Why does the government appear to begrudge the pensioners a retirement.We have money for Net zero, wars, foreign aid but nothing for farmers and pensioners. This country is a disgrace.
Ann supported: ANDY BURNHAM! STOP THE STATE PENSION BEING TAXED: RAISE TAX THRESHOLD: SUPPORT COLETTE!I'm 72 and a widower. I have a small annuity that as from the last pension increase is now being taxed, after the next pension increase it will probably all go in tax! Unfortunately being an annuity I can't "cash it in" so the Government will benefit from me trying to safeguard my old age!
Elizabeth supported: ANDY BURNHAM! STOP THE STATE PENSION BEING TAXED: RAISE TAX THRESHOLD: SUPPORT COLETTE!we pay huge amount of tax during our working lifewhilst we plan and save for our retirement, only to get taxed again on our savings and pension. It is time for this to stop and to at least reward those who save and plan with no tax on our pensions, If this does not happen then, why bother to save at all?
Grahame supported: ANDY BURNHAM! STOP THE STATE PENSION BEING TAXED: RAISE TAX THRESHOLD: SUPPORT COLETTE!As a 80year old woman living alone, seeing friends, going to appointments.. moving around with my freedom pass is so essential
Josette supported: Stop restricting Freedom Pass travel in LondonSo under these proposals if you are 60-66 using an oyster card you would still qualify for free tube/train in London yet when you reach the age of 66 most of these will be taken away, just when you are likely to retire, have less income and no chance of another employment. How can that be justified. Surely it would be better to restrict for 60-66? Or preferably not at all
Michelle supported: Stop restricting Freedom Pass travel in LondonMy husband has to attend Moorfields Hospital every month. We are both elderly pensioners and travel on the tube to get there as I need to accompany him. This will put a huge strain on our resources if we have to pay. Yes other areas do not get this benefit but Londoners have extra costs anyway living in the most expensive area in the UK.
