    There's none so blind as those that will not see.

    Obviously untrue, as per. Obviously you've evaded my question of your own political allegiance. As per.

    Its not untrue though. And I don't have a political allegiance, I class myself as "working class" I don't think any party appeals to me.

    I've criticised Labour on building, on pandering to the far right, their environmental policies, the folly of carbon capture. Will I vote for them at the next GE? If I were in this constituency, no. In the likely new constituency, possibly, depending on who the biggest rival is to the fascist party, but I'd rather I had a free vote.

    What did you think of Farages news conference yesterday and the actions of Reform councillors and their priorities so far since winning seats/councils?

    Yet you mentioned Epping, nobody else. Which was about racist far right 'protestors' targeting a hotel they believed housed asylum seekers. That's the track. There is no other track.

    Why does that not surprise me? You profess all parties are the same, yet only criticise Labour. And never Reform. Most curious.

    There needs to be an agreement between (at least) the main four parties that the triple lock will be replaced simply by a CPI-linked increase each year following the next election. That is the absolute necessity to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the state pension.

    If the 10 million who don’t work and happy to claim benefits; many milking the system. Returned to work and paying Taxes and NI then Rachel in Accounts would be be very happy.

    Another thing to consider is now the state pension is13 payments of £921=£11973 per year that’s all of your tax free allowance (almost) so every penny in works/private pension is subject to 20%tax except for your first lump sum payment

    Around £22.7 billion in means-tested benefits and support goes unclaimed each year in the UK, affecting an estimated 8.4 million people. Universal Credit alone accounts for £8.3 billion of that, unclaimed by 1.4 million eligible individuals.

    If you look at men v women men die a lot sooner. So men should get more pension than women.

    Thank you for proving my point precisely, and letting your veil slip a little more.
