The government is allegedly reconsidering payments for WASPi women. I wrote this last year on why I don't think they're due compensation – and why it would be hugely unfair to pay it out.

The case against payouts for the WASPi women
Pensioners who have benefited greatly from the triple lock should not get more at everyone else’s expense

So the government is going to tax working people on their pension contributions, so they can give even more money to pensioners having a tantrum because they couldn't retire at 60 and were too thick to see the guidance?
Piss *off*. This gerontocracy is transparent, exploitative, and a pisstake.

The Government have even seemingly caved on compensating the WASPI women.
I swear to god they will do everything for the Baby Boomer generation and nothing for younger people.
Again, doing something at the point of maximum political pain AND economic cost.
I’m so fucking fed up!

Anyone who’s ever watched an episode of Bad Girls knows prisoner releases happen all the time anyway, so why all the fuss 😉

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.
New piece from me.

Yeah they better not do this because that has to be one of the worst policy suggestions of all time!
How about we build state capacity to provide state pensions in the future rather than giving money to people who are *checks notes* DEAD!?

There’s nothing more meta than BBC News doing continual coverage this morning about the resignation of the BBC DG and BBC News CEO over a BBC documentary.
I love the BBC and want it to thrive. But clearly radical overhaul is needed because this is not a normal thing for a new channel to be doing.

It’s clear that Rachel Reeves needs to raise income tax at the Budget.
But limiting how much people can save in their pensions is absolutely ridiculous!
How will this stop the ballooning social security bill from getting worse? More people will need more state pension!
Shortsighted nonsense!
