The state pension is NOT the same system it was when it started - it has been tweaked many times over the years. It was originally designed to be something you earned over a lifetime, but now it is being given away to huge numbers of people who have contributed nothing. The rot started with NI...

I remember the good old days when Maggie told the oldies to put another jumper on. I'm serious. The country was solvent back then, not bankrupt as it's now become by pretending that people who don't work, and haven't saved any money, can live in luxury.

So you want to wave a magic wand and somehow magic up a huge pile of money to pay for the current pensioners and then all currently under pension age get a contribution based pension? How are you going to manage the increased tax to pay for that? And it's not a 'Blair/starmer' system, it's the...

I bet you would just let the mad mullahs carry on as is.....

Yes, and after they wave that magic wand everything will be wonderful and there won't be any way to recreate 80 year old technology again.

The lefty crowd’s election winner is this government. It was also propelled into power by torey and re form voters who continue to show breathtaking naïveté by thinking Kieth could wave a magic wand and cure the country’s economic woes. And now they will vote for Far rage on the same basis...

We're all going to pay the price for it though. All this waiting around in ambulances means that paramedics are getting no experience. If a magic wand was waved today, and all that waiting problem vanished, we'd have an influx of inexperienced paramedics.

Capitalist greed is what has got us into this mess. If we has a bit more left wing progressive policies we wouldn’t be in this mess. Poor Spline

You've seen them in action on the councils. So what difference are you expecting from Reform ? Nothing? Agreed .

Conventional politics has no magic wand to wield because conventional politics got us into the mess we are in today.

You do realise that you sound insane don’t you?

I did think, re both of Trump's state visits, that if I could have been given a magic wand to wave to conjure up the most effective protest against him it would have been for nobody to protest at all. For the whole of London to have worked from home/taken a day's holiday/pulled a sicky, so that...

So we agree, well done. Yes. Do you know why? Different issues, but well conflated Ceded ? Rubbish No, you are free to spout still So don't expect reform to have this wand

Reform are just Tories

About Reform cocking things up..... don't forget folks that prior to the formation of UKIP and Reform our conventional political parties had run up a national debt of 3 trillions; given most of our manufacturing to China, put millions out of work whilst bringing in millions of foreigners; ceded...

There are only so many ways to slice the proverbial cake. I think to a large degree, it's almost irrelevant who's in power, unless there are some truly significant changes ... which there won't be.

I think reform councils are now realising that there are no magic wands to wave I haven't heard of anything promising coming from any reform council

Hamas, (and Houthis, Hezbollah, etc) seem to mount limited but specific counter attacks. But Israel's action is insidious, incremental but tenuous nonetheless. It passes legislation to legalise it's policies and actions, in occupied territories, despite they being against and in contradiction to...

Just give them their country back, then they won't have to try to get it back by force.

Could be, but they were given a golden opportunity in 2005 when all Israeli settlers were evicted by force (by Israel) and they responded by voting for Hamas who to some degree were allowed to flourish by Israel as a counter force to the PLO. Lets not forget Oct 7th was something like the 5th...
