The State Pension is UNAFFORDABLE. The triple lock + no means-testing = higher business taxes, fewer jobs for young people, and pensioners with private wealth still funded by the state. This isn’t sustainable—or fair. Thanks to @DawnNeesom and @silvervoicesuk for debating.

The social care crisis needs resolving NOW not in the 2030s. Thousands are dying waiting for the social care that could have extended their lives. Scrap the time-wasting and useless Casey Commission and grasp the nettle now. Labour has all the information it needs to set up a

The extreme right anti-pensioner outfit the Policy Exchange has shown its colours arguing for the state pension to be frozen for three years, the triple lock to be scrapped, the pension age to be raised to 70 and all pensioner benefits means-tested. This is what older people are

New poll suggests two-thirds of of older people do not back the proposals

"We said, don't suddenly stop the payment for all those people." @silvervoicesuk Director Dennis Reed argues that means testing winter fuel payments is too slow and too expensive to help the people who need it in time. @RobbieRinder | #JeremyVine
