@GaynorHaliday@redrumlisa@lugaricano@mattyglesias You need 35 qualifying years to get the full state pension. You could qualify by being disabled and unable to work for 35 years. Or a carer, or in receipt of child benefit. Don't take my word for it. Check!
@GaynorHaliday@redrumlisa@lugaricano@mattyglesias You are not paying in to anything. You are qualifying to receive a state benefit by paying NI contributions. The same as for job seekers allowance.
@redrumlisa@lugaricano@mattyglesias It's a contributory benefit. You could be unemployed for 35 years and still get it. It isn't a pot that is invested. You qualify each year for it by working or being exempt. When you are asked if you want to make up extra years you pay a tiny amount. You aren't buying a pension.
@redrumlisa@lugaricano@mattyglesias You didn't 'pay into' it. It is a benefit. Triple lock was a good way of raising pensioner income over time but makes no sense as an ad infinitum policy.
@Citymapper I was at T5 Heathrow earlier, going to Woodford. Next Liz Shenfield train was not for 60mins yet no route suggested taking first Heathrow express to T2 and picking up Liz Abbey Wood train, which is hugely quicker. Any clue why? CM doesn't recognise the T5 T2 route.
@MattGubba@thisgirlisonf12 The point of it is to stop incentivising business from stopping expanding as they bump up against the 80k threshold. 00s of small businesses don't grow for this reason. Setting the thrhold low removes that.
@SimonMagus@SlipdeGarcon Paying for our own care if we can? We do already to a large extent and it is not fair. You need to socialise the risk of dementia and chronic illness, not leave it to a lottery.
