Pensioners

[Hartlepudlion]

I can't find any mention of pensions in the Labour Manifesto. The only thing I've read about is the abolition of the married persons allowance. A £250 income tax increase for many pensioners.

Labour make a large play on what other benefits are on offer but none of which apply to pensioners.

Have I missed any pensioner announcements?

Corbyn said in the Andrew Neil interview that it was unfair on unmarried couples so if he cancelled it they'd be then be equal. When pointed out that the married couples would be £250 a year worse off, he prattled on about equality.
Just a thought, but if cohabiting couples want the money just get married, but that's Corbynomics for you.

According to the above information by the original poster, I will be £400 worse off.

Using that logic then the side promising the most 'sweeties; should be the one you vote for.

Why not enlighten us oh great one and advise us who we should vote for?

Not really, Corbyn in his 'cunning plan' is not offering anything, he's taking it away. Letting someone keep what they've already got is hardly an incentive.
