Means testing state pension.

(Its not a benefit).

Its nasty and deliberate scaremongering for a vulnerable group and they should be ashamed, there is absolutely no evidence for it.

No it isn’t.If you look at the link provided it’s a money and finance advice thing, a bit like Martin Lewis.
They say that so far Labour have said nothing along these lines but do their best to reassure and provide info.People ask questions and they answer.

I don't think they'll be happy until everyone is at loggerheads.
Setting sections of people against each other.

Iys pretty obvious that it's a bad way forbthings to be.

Thats what's happening MissA and I despise that kind of "stirring".

I assumed that the means-testing was just press-speak for restricting the WFP to those on pension credit. The article suggests that means-testing the actual pension would be a major undertaking and not a current plan. My knickers, like yours, MissAdventure are not at all twisted.

I'd be beyond shocked if they means tested the state pension.

I would put nothing past Labour at present.

I don't think state pension is a benefit. People pay in all their working lives so it wouldn't go down well if you were told you wouldn't be receiving anything.

Well, no point in anyone getting their knickers in a twist until it happens, I think.

No, I think it's just conjecture at this point.

People are daft enough and angry enough to believe anything.

I don't think I am daft enough to believe it but I may be angry enough to believe it after what they have been doing recently.

I wouldn't put anything past Rachel Reeves.
