Over 400,000+ UK State Pensioners are denied annual inflation increases — simply because they live in countries like Canada and Australia. 🇨🇦🇦🇺
Why does the UK government allow such blatant discrimination?

⚖️ @Keir_Starmer — show that you respect your own pensioners and #EndFrozenPensions.
The average frozen pension is just £65 a week.
@RachelReevesMP, it’s time to end the unfair freeze that has punished 400,000+ UK State Pensioners abroad.

‘Equity is for everyone’ is the promise that @Keir_Starmer has made to the UK.

Does this also include frozen pensioners?

There are 400,000+ UK state pensioners who feel like the odd duck out.

The UK government says they are for everyone. Does that include pensioners?

400,000+ frozen UK state pensioners struggle to survive because of rising costs. If @Keir_Starmer and @patmcfaddenmp want to make #change, start with frozen pensions.

#EndFrozenPensions

End Frozen Pensions Campaign @endfrozenpensions.bsky.social · 12d

UK state pensions are paid worldwide, but only some will increase with inflation, while others won’t.

@patmcfaddenmp Do you think it’s fair that ‘where’ people chose to retire determines if they can be financially stable in their retirement?

What is the number 1 problem facing 400,000+ UK State pensioners living abroad?

They have to survive on frozen pensions.

Reflecting on the #InternationalDayofOlderPersons, we must continue to advocate for the 400,000+ frozen UK state pensioners living abroad, struggling to make ends meet.

@Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP will you please #EndFrozenPensions?

🔙 Flashback Friday 📸

UK State Pensioners protested outside the British High Commission in Ottawa to mark #IDOP2024.

The UK is the only OECD country to discriminate against its own retirees by refusing annual increases for frozen pensioners in Canada 🍁.

People hope that retirement is a time of security and peace of mind.

But for 400,000+ frozen pensioners, retirement is a constant battle to make ends meet.

After years of Tory neglect, will @Keir_Starmer and @RachelReevesMP bring change and #EndFrozenPensions?

End Frozen Pensions Campaign @endfrozenpensions.bsky.social · 18d

Today is #IDOP2025. Let’s remember the importance of a secure retirement. @Keir_Starmer 400,000+ UK State pensioners should not be left to survive on frozen pensions. Will you make a #change for the better? #EndFrozenPensions.

End Frozen Pensions Campaign @endfrozenpensions.bsky.social · 19d

On #InternationalDayofOlderPersons, what better way is there to celebrate our seniors by offering them a secure retirement?

Frozen UK State Pensions injustice must be on the UK Labour Party Conference agenda. 400,000+ UK State Pensioners abroad — many in Commonwealth countries — are still denied annual increases.
Will @Keir_Starmer & @UKLabour “fix” this injustice?

Frozen UK State Pensioners were let down by the Tories.
@Keir_Starmer wants to “fix” 🔨 the foundations…
➡️ So why won’t he fix the frozen UK State Pension policy?
➡️ and why won’t he treat all UK State Pensioners fairly, no matter where they live? 🌍

It would cost the UK just 4p in every £100 of pension expenditure to uprate all 400,000+ frozen pensioners from 2025.
Tiny cost. Huge impact.

“This could be Keir Starmer’s finest hour.”
⏳ Frozen UK State pensioners have waited over 70 years for fairness.

⚖️ The time for action is now.

@Keir_Starmer will you #EndFrozenPensions?

End Frozen Pensions Campaign @endfrozenpensions.bsky.social · Sep 16

💸 Frozen UK State pensions force pensioners to live with less each year, despite a lifetime of contributions.

🕰️ It’s time for fairness.
@Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP, @patmcfaddenmp.bsky.social end this injustice and #EndFrozenPensions.

End Frozen Pensions Campaign @endfrozenpensions.bsky.social · Sep 15

🔒 Triple lock policy? More like locking down pensioners.
📉 The buying power of a frozen UK State pension falls as inflation rises.
Pensioners are left with less each year.
@Keir_Starmer @patmcfaddenmp.bsky.social why won't #EndFrozenPensions?
