Welfare

Britain’s pensioners are the wealthiest retired generation in British history. They built the deficit. They accumulated the debt. They elected the governments. They took the gains. They were protected through every crisis while everyone around them absorbed the pain.
And now the bill has arrived, who do they think should pay it?
This is the conversation Britain has been too afraid to have. Until now.

He markets himself as this working‑class lad, the man of the people, the bloke who “gets it” because he supposedly comes from the same world as the scaffolders, the brickies, the offshore workers, the lorry drivers, the warehouse pickers — the people who actually keep the country running. But the reality doesn’t show that at all. He isn’t their poster boy. He’s the poster boy for the tax‑funded union world, the comfortable public‑sector bubble where the income is guaranteed, the risks are minimal, and the consequences never land on your own doorstep.
