Makes less sense than not reintroducing the lifetime allowance as it's "complex" (see also non-dom softening). It's wealthy people avoiding tax whilst smaller safe pots are hit because it doesn't fit the growth agenda. A government serious about growth would tax the wealthy and scrap austerity.

He includes slurs on Nigerians and Japanese on the article itself. There are none so blind as those that cannot see.

Casual racism good enough for you?

Not all will stay and it's 35 yrs for a full pension.
Higher taxes, working much longer and reducing state pensions are alternatives but that was Zoe's point - it's not being debated. When the state pension was launched there were 20 workers per pensioner, now there are 3 and it's unsustainable.

You are right that the number of the existing population reaching state pension age will fall over time. However, the falling birth rate is not the only factor as people are also living longer so costs keep increasing for decades.

Because we need tax income to fund services that an ageing population needs (including the salaries you propose). Also the state pension is funded from NI/tax paid by current workers - any past NI/tax paid for pensioners then and were not ringfenced for future benefits (it's a pay-as-you-go scheme).

Well it isn't for income over £12,570. More pertinently, how are public sector employees' salaries funded in your 'tax free' scenario?

Para 2 to the tune of Yellow Polka Dot Bikini?

Agreed but it is a little nuanced. Dan Neidle has an excellent thread on this (and a possible alternative proposal).

Something about heat and kitchen?!

Yet few, other than you Zoe, have made any argument for the value of immigration - not at the referendum (which led to a switch to non-EU migrants) or as populist right wing views gained traction. If there is a universal left wing view then I agree but surely there's a policy position on needs also.

I see what you are getting at but the proportion of workers is falling compared to retirees and we have a low birth rate. How would you propose we maintain the NHS and state pension? I don't think the need is purely business driven.

Thank you very much 😊. Returned.

We shall see Anthony. Many on Musk's personal platform have yet to make the switch so I will still monitor there without posting.
