CITIZEN STATE PENSION SAME MONEY REGARDLESS OF NATIONAL INSURANCE HISTORY
TO: JEREMY CORBYN, LABOUR LEADER
Labour Pensioner Policy:
Pay the same state pension money of 60 per cent of national average wage
to all UK citizen men and women pensioners already retired
and
to new pensioners from age 60 from 2020
regardless of National Insurance history.
There are around 12 million pensioners currently on the basic state pension. Pensioners mostly with indirect taxes not just Income Tax, contribute £50bn a year in taxes.
Please share this petition widely, as I'm just a one person band. Especially from younger folk who want to help their nan and grandad and their own pensioner futures. The official government poverty level is 40 per cent of the average wage. I'm 1950s born lady who have had their state pension denied for half a decade since 2013, alongside with pension credit and winter fuel allowance. The flat rate reduces the state pension not increases it.
Only permitted to put this petition once on Gransnet and then never more.
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
