@danobrien20 Already a fact for existing pensioners. The liabilities are with uk as they collect taxes - a cash settlement or run off payment
@squinteratn @Saraita101 I have been trying to get paid for a claim since April 2025
@PolDeBuitleir Seems unrealistic to me - farage unlikely to command a full majority- plus 2029 - trump gone - usa possibly in a different direction??? Finally if Farage wins I suspect a breakup of Uk would follow shortly thereafter- united ireland due to English Nationalists- great
@AlexKane221b @paul_rams34 It’s called demographics
suggestion: UK Govt issues special ring-fenced Bonds and "buys" back utilities and reverses the Thatcher nonsense that enriched a few and impoverished more. £150+Billion - but Current profits have allowed Creative finance in Private - no reason Gov cant do same
@alexmassie scottish retirees living abroad get their unfunded pensions paid. after independence - future liabilities would fall on new Scottish gvt. but implied liabilities would be horse-traded - as England would save £bns on block grant
@DanNeidle @PhilMyers53 How can the circle be squared? High debt to gdp; highest average taxes since 1945? A major review of what can and cannot be covered by gov. Is it daft to spend 5% on defence?
@KevinPMeagher its a complex issue - but if the will is there a solution can be found. ireland is not a poor country - and if GDP fell their contribution towards EU would be adjusted downwards to compensate
@derek_alcorn agree absolutely - and I am sure Mr. emerson knows that
@ExBusinessman @SteveAikenUUP @JohnDoyleDCU @UlsterUni @PeterShirlow it has been custom and practice to pay pensions when due to pensioners abroad. it would be dealt with in a similar way as UK paid monies ot EU for future pensioners in EU. all part fo a grand settlement - might not work for other reasons - but not this one
@NewtonEmerson i worked for over 50 years - paid taxes and NI. my taxes paid previous unfunded pensions. unless british government reneges on state pensions paid abroad in general - i fail to see this as an issue. next objection please
@NewtonEmerson If i move to Spain i can collect my uk pension. My father collected his UK pension in the Republic of Ireland. In a way this is pretty straightforward- already agreed
@irish_news What will Stormont do about this monopolistic increase in price? Have they created a new service? Did they employ new staff to police the drop iff zone? Or is it that , being a local monopoly they can charge what they like?
@EamonnMallie congratulations to both - great girls!
@RestIsPolitics Free speech- not really Wondering how the students who stood against Nixon and Vietnam war feel about current political situation in USA?
@Nigella_Lawson Sounds a little bit like Barmbrack in Ireland [ Irish: Bairín Breac - meaning speckled loaf] - i love the butter on top
