Labour will always stand up for pensioners and honour the triple lock. Rishi Sunak’s unfunded £46 billion will be paid for by Britain’s pensioners. It will see the pension cut by £96 a week or pensioners paying more in tax. You can’t trust the Tories with the state pension.
Your pension is not safe with the Conservatives.
Fantastic to have @JonAshworth in Doncaster today at Club 3000 for a game of bingo! Unless Rishi Sunak rules out cutting the state pension Britain’s retirees will conclude the pension isn’t safe in Tory hands. #GeneralElection2024 the-guardian.com/money/2024/apr…
As Rishi Sunak’s hero Nigel Lawson warned the cost of National Insurance abolition would be paid by Britain’s pensioners. Today Rishi Sunak must rule out cuts to the state pension to pay for his £46 billion unfunded bombshell. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
Rishi Sunak - putting your pension at risk to fund his £46 billion bombshell.
EXPLAINED: What is Rishi Sunak’s unfunded £46 billion plan and why does it threaten your pension and our NHS👇
Secret Thatcher-era memo undermines Sunak’s plan to scrap national insurance dlvr.it/T6D5KQ
Rishi Sunak must come clean with the public. How will he pay for his £46 billion unfunded plan to abolish National Insurance?
Rishi Sunak’s unfunded £46 billion promise to scrap national insurance puts the state pension at risk. It’s time for him to come clean with the public.
The Tories have made a £46 billion commitment they can’t fund from money they cannot find unless they cut the state pension. Unless Rishi Sunak rules out cutting the state pension Britain’s retirees will conclude the pension isn’t safe in Tory hands.
'Where is that money going to come from? Is it going to come from a cut to the basic state pension or... will it come from the double taxation by taxing pensioners more in retirement?' @RachelReevesMP calls on the PM to say how he will fund a £46bn cut to National Insurance
🔴 Scrapping National Insurance was ruled out by Nigel Lawson, memo shows telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
"I don't normally take my shirt off for politics but...there it is." @NickFerrariLBC and fellow Leicester fan @JonAshworth celebrate their side's promotion back to the Premier League.
Your pension is at risk under the Conservatives. Rishi Sunak must come clean with the public about how he will pay for his £46 billion unfunded plan to abolish National Insurance. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
A secret, unpublished memo from Margaret Thatcher’s tax-cutting chancellor Nigel Lawson - whose portrait Rishi Sunak hung above Treasury desk - warned against merging NI & income tax b/c it would “create many losers” incl pensioners 👀 @jessicaelgot theguardian.com/money/2024/apr…

I am delighted to be back helping @UKLabour deliver the change our country really needs. The mental health crisis demands a cross-government strategy. The next Labour government will deliver it.
I’m proud to welcome @lucianaberger back to lead a Mental Health Strategy Review. It will be the mission of my Labour government to make sure fewer lives are lost to suicide. Luciana is a fierce advocate for mental health and her work will contribute to achieving that mission.
Parties at No 10 in the old days. @GordonBrown would hand out very thoughtfully chosen books and tell some jokes. There would be some singing. He’d say “thanks for all you do” and we’d wish each other Merry Christmas and think it was the greatest honour of our lives to serve.

We’re very proud of Les here in Houghton & Sunderland South CLP. Thanks to the @NewStatesman for sharing him and his onions (and carrots and parsnips and leeks) with the wider audience they deserve.
An onion fit for a prime minister 🧅 Leslie Scott, a Labour Party member for 61 years from Sunderland, has struck up an unusual friendship with Keir Starmer after gifting him a giant onion. "He always converts it into onion soup."
“Many of my friends are Conservative, many of my neighbours are Conservatives, my relations are Conservatives... the Conservative Party today has moved away from Conservative voters." Imagine this from @JonAshworth will be more electorally effective than "never kissed a Tory".
I sat down with Jonathan Ashworth earlier today, just after 'The Red Flag'. He told me Labour is now the natural home for many conservative voters, rejected pouring more money into public services - and played down the influence of Corbynista MPs. Story: inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
