ME/CFS made me unemployable, given its impacts.
So I started a business, ran it for 10+ years. I Worked flexibly and part time, took time off when had to - many weeks/months.
As a result, I have no pension, as I was always in survival mode health-wise and financially within the business.

🚨The latest immigration stats have pretty much nothing to do with this government
🚨It's a genuinely weird flex to boast about making the country you govern less attractive
