My view on means testing the State Pension is no personal it is realistic. In an ideal world your NI payments should have been invested your pension secured however all the money has been spent
A sound argument for a single tax rate imo ,the original idea of NI contributions was to fund the NHS and pensions afaik and since that has not happened for quite some time ,why not scrap NI's and fund out of general taxation .

Stopping foreign aid will only increase the welfare budget across Europe as starving and homeless people flock to other countries ,the European aid budget serves as a means of keeping people in their own countries
