And look to scrapping buraecucracy to save money, and boost pensions with saved money, up to £140 a week (up from £97).
In a further attack on those who have looked after children, the plans aim to boost the pensions of those women who have taken years out of work to bring up children.
Bloody useless tories & bloody sell out Lid Dems. Dem'cons are at it again.

You what? Not sure what your argument/indignation/point is.
I'm annoyed though that people who sat on their 'arris for years will get the same as I get.0 -

That was why Labour reduced to contribution level to 30 years, to benefit women who had to take time out. I am not sure how providing extra funds for the likes of Richard Branson and taking child benefit off single mothers who just happen to be earning £44k is helping women.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
Right well. If we are to be opposed to universal benefits in the form of child benefit, why not to state pensions?
Or will they also be means tested?
If the latter I think I'm for them, if not I'm not.
Why should I get the same as a woman who has worked the years I haven't? Now, this is where it gets more tricky: I have no issue topping up my NI if I will benefit from the pension, but why should I, personally (putting ethics side,)pay in if it will be means tested...when, as PN says, people who haven't worked AND haven't topped up for whatever reason do get it.
I'm hoping there is a missing link here.0 -
