As should this..."If Labour win this time, they'll change the rules so they're in power for a very long time,"says Rishi Sunak, whose party has:- Rejigged electoral systems - Changed seat boundaries- Introduced Voter ID- Raised election spending limits- Extended voting overseasAnyone care to wonder why all these were deemed more important than paying more attention to boats, to the finances of the nation, to global warming - amongst many, many other more important, and more urgent, things?BobG
Its pretty obvious that most of us are going to have to whistle for the state pension.This just makes it a bigger kick in the knackers that our work pensions are never going to be as good as they should of been because of constant government tinkering with pensions.How is anyone supposed to plan ahead and save for their retirement when its constantly used as a political football by both main parties. It just seems the lure of pensions savings is too much of a temptation for these people to leave well alone.Its been suggested that Reeves will be looking in due course to change the taxable benefit on private/company pensions,resulting in reduced outcomes for the vast majority, if this is the case then who knows what they will end up with when reaching retirement age.This is something that really pisses me off, you plan ahead to ensure you are not reliant on the state for anything and they just use your prudent nature to plan to hive off another lump asap.No wonder some people just don't bother and will be throwing themselves onto the kindness of the state when they reach that point.What a busted nation we are.
Shapps .... why does he have to glance down at his Crib notes so obviously ?Usually does it but today it was off the scale

He’d be better off just owning it. “No, I didn’t have to forgo anything, I had a privileged upbringing thanks to my parents…” would be the truthful answer, so just go with it. Strange bloke.
Guarantee Sunak’s parents didn’t have Sky TV back then because they thought it was something “common people” did
