      Another tax break for pensioners, on top of the existing ones (no NI) and the other ones that were just announced (no Cash ISA limit cut). Fantastic.

      Look Im all in favour of scrapping the triple lock, but this doesn’t bother me at all. If your only income is the state pension that’s not a lot to go on and at that age it’s not realistic to expect you to go back into the workforce.

      This is pretty daft. So if you have my AB foods pension of £200 total (as in that’s all I have invested in it) you pay tax but if you’ve never worked a day in your life you don’t? Clearly policy made utterly on the fly.

      I genuinely don’t understand why the state pension isn’t

      a) much more generous; and

      b) means tested with awards on a sliding scale

      Is that because they’ve starved to death?

      Who can live on the state pension these days 😞

      Apply the triple lock to the tax free allowance,

      Or link it to state pension so the tax free allowance is always state pension + £10

      If it’s that much of a problem.

      I mean, just from a logistics POV surely this makes sense.

      If you’re going to give out a state benefit, then just take some of it back, why bother giving that bit out in the first place? Either lower the benefit, or make it tax free because otherwise aren’t we just wasting time/effort/**money** on processing the whole thing?

      You can argue about numbers and percentages and whatever else, but this is, again, a clear statement that the government is treating pensioners far better than working age people. The cutoff for the WFA was set at the median wage. And now working aged people will be taxed when pensioners won’t be.

      It’s also more likely that a pensioner will have a stable home of some form and fewer bills/dependents

      That’s the kind of message this government is clearly comfortable standing behind, and that’s why so many people are pissed off.
