The problems of predicted under capacity seem to be because of plans to use HS2 rolling stock on existing lines. So don’t do that.
Did he promise to keep the triple lock?I said a while ago that having met the Labour candidate for Rugby I was going to vote Labour (have never not voted Labour tbh)...the deal had been 100% sealed now having received a letter from Sir Kier Starmer personally thanking me as one of Britain's older generation for the hard work and contribution I've made to the country... he's promised to look after me and my fellow "Retirees".
I'm framing the letter.
Yes he has.Did he promise to keep the triple lock?
That's refreshing. Our state pension is pitifully low as it stands, if your paying rent into retirement your going to struggle, even if your a home owner £12k is not enough to pay bills, heat your house and have any kind of reasonable standard of living.Yes he has.
The letter states "With my fully costed and fully funded plans the state pension will increase year on year with the triple lock over the whole parliament".That's refreshing.

Is it beyond the poor little lambs to get off one train and get on another?That is one of several problems, I don’t know the details but then surely you’re not having any straight through services from the South to the North?

Interesting how your obsession with council tax overrides anything else of concernIs it beyond the poor little lambs to get off one train and get on another?
I mean they could all get a horse and cart too but some of us would like to live in a first world country.
Preferably internal combustion engine,Or just get a decent car and drive
I think Ive mentioned council tax once - to you - reminding you that increases are permanent (being under political control) whereas interest rates are temporary and down to the independent Bank of England - the independence being introduced by Gordon Brown.Interesting how your obsession with council tax overrides anything else of concern
Did he promise not to raid workers occupational pensions again, like they did last time?The letter states "With my fully costed and fully funded plans the state pension will increase year on year with the triple lock over the whole parliament".
No he never mentioned occupational pension schemes Malc.Did he promise not to raid workers occupational pensions again, like they did last time?

That’s shit but so is the effect that Brown’s taxation of pension schemes had. Labour also introduced the lifetime savings allowance, again shit.No he never mentioned occupational pension schemes Malc.
I like many thousands of others got rinsed on a frozen pension in the 1990's by a snake oil salesmen from Allied Dunbar though...cost me many thousands of pound's, eventually got a £2k compensation ,the pension deposit would have been better if I stuck under my mattress tbh...I think it was Thatcher that allowed that type of thing to take place
Indeed they are all "shit" in reality.That’s shit but so is the effect that Brown’s taxation of pension schemes had. Labour also introduced the lifetime savings allowance, again shit.
Tories changed the measure for increases in additional state pension from RPI to CPI, which meant public sector pensions followed suit despite years of the handbook saying that they would rise by RPI.
Actually, they are all shit.
Your new car?oh yes brand £80k Merc hybrid with the bik of 5% and a plug that’s never being used
Hearing a lot about the undecideds in the last few days. If they still don't know who they want to vote for isn't there an above average chance they just won't bother voting?Roughly 30 per cent undecided.
Unless you were miss sold by a company scheme and the union fights it for you,cost em a few bob that did!!!No he never mentioned occupational pension schemes Malc.

Looking forward to him knocking on my door.Labour canvasser knocked my door today, voting for them anyway tbh , said cheers and goodbye
I thought tbh it was mostly people who didn;t want to tell you what they really thought.Hearing a lot about the undecideds in the last few days. If they still don't know who they want to vote for isn't there an above average chance they just won't bother voting?
Yeah but impossible to say at this point. Lots of postal votes. Way more than I realised.Hearing a lot about the undecideds in the last few days. If they still don't know who they want to vote for isn't there an above average chance they just won't bother voting?
You back then?W
Looking forward to him knocking on my door.
The Conservatives never knock our door when canvassing in the village even for local elections,I assume they know it's a Labour house.Note - camera doorbells mean some will not answer when they see who is calling. A lot don't answer even though it's obvious they are in.
Shy tories I think.
Your new car?
You’ll find it funny no doubt but this is the long term vision I have for the world also. I also know it has nil chance of happening in my or probably any lifetime.Have a long term policy of 'a world without borders'. Good luck with that.
It's a bit like you've won the lotto and all the relatives you haven't seen for years pop up. Oh NOW you're interested?Note - camera doorbells mean some will not answer when they see who is calling. A lot don't answer even though it's obvious they are in.
