@antonia_investing: Two words in Labour’s manifesto could decide whether your tax goes up. The promise was no tax rises on “working people” , and pensioners aren’t counted as working people. That’s how a rise could hit retirees while ministers insist they’ve kept their word. It’s already happened with tax on savings and rental income. Nothing is confirmed until the Budget on 28 October. This is for educational purposes only and isn’t financial advice. Should pensioners count as “working people” when it comes to tax promises? Tell me in the comments.

I’m confused the NI pays for state pension, NHS, maternity, unemployment, sick pay to name a few. If they are cutting NI payments where are they funding all these payments from. Are they reducing all the affected payments, as there will be less money in the pot to pay them.

I’m a pensioner and with my small private pension I have a total income of £14,200 per annum. I pay tax now, not a lot but still every penny is needed. If I have to start paying NI again I’m going to really struggle as I don’t have a lot of savings. How is this fair?

Why spread fake rumours that might frighten pensioners? Think Tanks are not the Govt and there’s a bad record in their ideas being taken up.
