This is the only argument Labour have for voting for them now.

Ending poverty in later life doesn't just benefit older people now but safeguards all futures.

We've found that poverty in older age is an issue that most people care about. We need the UK Govt to take this issue seriously.

Today on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day #WEAAD2025, we stand in solidarity with our members world-wide who are raising awareness and tackling these rights violations.

A new UN convention on the rights of older persons must fully address elder abuse so we can all #AgeWithRights.
