I‘m 66 today, joining the mighty ranks of ‚old aged pensioners‘. I‘m really relieved that my interests as an over 60 year old are represented by the excellent @silvervoicesuk . If you too are over 60 have a look at the website and consider joining for less that £10 pa
But they didn’t support the women in the 2019 election either. Age UK become cowardly as we approach elections because they depend on Government funding to pay their salaries!

Incredibly the Age UK Manifesto just published fails to support or even mention the need for speedy compensation for the #WASPI and 1950s women. There are many other major omissions on pensions and social care which weakens the case for all of us.
The growing gap between old and new state pensions is a national scandal, now over £50 per week. Only Silver Voices is campaigning for a review of the system to eliminate this unjust gap. inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…
The Silver Voices campaign to delay the forced switchover programme of landlines to digital phones has achieved a halt in the mass transfer. All switchovers must be voluntary until better safeguards are available. pressreader.com/uk/daily-expre…
Labour promised compensation for #WaspiWomen in their 2019 Manifesto. Now they are just waiting for the Tories to decide. We need to see some principles from Labour or they will lose the election by default.
Welcome back Ben!
Beware the attack on National Insurance could be a prelude to an attack on state pensions by making them means tested. The state pension is not a benefit, we pay for it throughout our working lives. express.co.uk/news/politics/…
Chancellor Blanks Older People: not a mention of older people once in the Budget and nothing to stop 800,000 more pensioners paying tax on their pensions in April. As it stands the Tories don't deserve the Silver Vote. youtube.com/watch?v=U0Rc69…
It may be the last Tory Budget for some time on Wednesday. Read what they could do to appeal to all the older voters they have lost; and join Silver Voices to get your voice heard. express.co.uk/comment/expres…
Congrats on getting notice. Funny that the independent review on the state pension age said clearly that personal notices had not been given and that was last year! Somebody is wrong. In any event there is no case for this rise which we have paid for.

Help us halt the rise in the State Pension Age to 67. There has been insufficient notice to those impacted and there is no economic justification for the rise. express.co.uk/news/politics/…
"To talk about raising the state pension age, even to 67, cannot be justified in the current climate." Director of silver voices, Dennis Reed, debates with communications officer Reem Ibrahim about whether the pension age should rise to 71. trib.al/HzJhFam 📺 Sky 501
The Government is trying to get powers to snoop on the bank accounts of 23 million people either on the state pension or benefits, without their knowledge. Gross infringement of civil liberties which must be opposed. Write to your MP. express.co.uk/news/politics/…
We are making progress on delaying the switch from landlines to internet telephones, Virgin has now halted its switchover programme . BT is keeping quiet. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
If you are worried about making emergency calls if your landline is switched to an internet system, contact your telecom company and say no switch, until you can guarantee my personal safety! express.co.uk/comment/expres…
We must force the telecom companies to take safety seriously when scrapping landlines for inferior internet alternatives. Join our boycott of the switchover. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Hospital parking charges should be scrapped completely, nobody goes to hospital for fun. Patients, visitors and workers are there because people are very sick. No way to fund the NHS. Join the Silver Voices campaign group. express.co.uk/news/uk/184931…
Unfortunately scores of doctors are still liking outrageous ageist attacks on us despite our clarifications. As if we are directly responsible for an alleged bullying incident of which none of us know the precise details. Makes you wonder about our past support.

The first doctor to show any sympathy whatsoever for my remarks, thank you. To all those who have insinuated that there is no ageist problem in the NHS, Happy Christmas!
