Lefty isn't capable of rational thought. Socialism relies on them. |

Certainly seems to be an end to the continuing falls in out of work numbers since Covid - given the amount of vacancies in the economy perhaps the generosity of welfare payments needs looking at.  |

Yes maybe less old people who receive genious state pension stop working there Be plenty of work . HomeCentre for Ageing Better 30 Oct 2023 Almost one million more workers aged 65 and above since the millennium, new analysis reveals Ageing Better’s new analysis of the latest ONS Labour Market data reveals that the employment rate of those aged 65 and above has doubled over the past quarter of a century. The analysis also reveals the 65+ age group are the second most likely to work zero-hours contracts and that growing numbers are choosing to continue to work full-time up to and beyond the state pension age. Share There are now almost one million more workers aged 65 and above in the UK labour market than there were at the beginning of the century, new data analysis from the Centre for Ageing Better reveals. More than one in nine (11.5%) are now working past their 65th birthday in this country which is double the one in 20 (5.2%) working in 2000, analysis of official ONS Labour Market stats by the Centre for Ageing Better reveals. |

Perhaps the pensioners have to work longer because the youth are workshy?

And your answer is modern slavery?
Cut the cost of rent, cut the cost of beer, give tax relief to pubs but not supermarkets and off licence traders. Force Sky to change the same rate to pubs it charges domestic customers.
Put the opening hours back to what they were in 2003.
Make STEM subjects free for poorer students.
Have apprenticeships.
Make stuff here again.
Anyway, you're supposed to be a lefty, you haven't argued for trade unionised jobs and better pay.
What is with the slave ideology?

Perhaps the pensioners have to work longer because the youth are workshy? When I was a teenager I had virtually nothing and I had to go from that to having all I need to live comfortably. On top of that I had a busy social life and had to put some work into learning how to do work. Now I know how to do work, have loads of skills and knowledge to make life easier and yet I have all I need and the social life is so shit it is not worth spending money on. Oh and one other thing is I've worked out every scam in the book now so I don't lose or waste money as I did when I was naive. I buy things that last and perform well. It amazes me somewhat how little work you need to do if you work smart. So really what you want to do in your life is go balls out when you are younger, make a load of money and then invest it wisely. Having said that, these days we live in the world of negative real returns on investment and stock market crashes to fleece the sheep periodically. |

So when the Labour Party keep banging on about pensioner poverty and the need to keep the triple lock and increase pensions in real terms, they are talking bullshit? |

He seems to think health care is free. All those foreign doctors and nurses treating the country and asking for nothing in return. I guess they do it because the NHS has very low standards and go for the absolute cheapest, or in this case, free option.
If you want, say, a competent dentist over here, you have to pay twice.

If you can point us toward the 'real conservatism' party it would be much appreciated . Unemployment in the UK is however a choice and with a million vacancies reported today the record numbers are easily solved by matching people to jobs available . This would be helped greatly with a return of Job centres being the place where you get a job rather than being advised on what you can claim on the social . It would be useful if they returned to being places where jobs were advertised following placement by employers I’m sure those of us of my age recall when they really were such places. Hell, i got my first job outside academia by walking into the bloody place who directed me to their ‘Professional and Executive Recruitment’ division on the floor above. The last time i walked into a jobcentre they had the same single job listed and statistically recording eleven different, separate vacancies because eleven separate recruiting agencies had submitted it to the office and displaying all eleven made jobs look mire bumerous than they actually were |

Yes they are when you compare work related poverty .23% Pension poverty 15% . Do you agree . Yes - and I have said before I think it would be a great idea if Labour went into the next election with your idea of promising to reduce pensions. On this issue we are on the same page. |
