The amount the government has to spend on state pensions will fall by £1.5bn by 2022, partly because of over-65s dying of Covid, forecasts suggest.
It said it had "revised up our assumption for excess deaths this year and next relative to November". The OBR estimates spending on the state pension will fall by £600m in 2020-21 and £900m in 2021-22 compared with forecasts made before the pandemic.
I always trusted the BBC! What kind of headline is that? Really we deserve the BBC to answer how they justify the headline?
What an uncouth head line, it doesn’t take a genius to know that.
Said this months ago. Cuntservatives saw an opportunity to make money for themselves out of this pandemic. Letting covid rip through care homes at the start, the in and out of lockdown, the u-turns all perpetuated the virus & generated money from contracts tied to covid (PPE etc)
By how much? Figures should be available.
No we’re getting there !!
Disgusting, attention grabbing, thoughtless and typically insensitive headline
Every cloud says the BBC. Never trust the BBC.
Can I have some of that ?
I think we all realised that a while ago. The tories will be so happy. Tell me something, how many old geezers have died that sat in the House of Lords. Nah, they’re too well taken care of.
Disgusting reporting..
Callous uncaring b***rds is all I have to say about
Vile BBC
.scum media..
Why on earth post the obvious when so many families are still grieving? I don't think government thought about pension costs when trying to roll out the vaccines for pensioners. That's a really cruel sick tweet by the BBC.
Tories do not value human life
This was all part of the Cummings 'Let Them Die' comment It was part of the cull the 'non-contributors' Eugenics plan It was all denied by Nos 10... Then a week later Cummings departs. The article slips in the 144K death number... Eventually the true number will come out...
Yá se sabía! Era parte del objetivo, para que los adinerados, tengan más fortuna!
😬 Is that how you want to report that? really
Who’s next
People died and your headline makes it sound like a celebration! You should be very ashamed. torybritain
This was exactly what the tories had in mind.
Hence herd immunity
NC6581191 Jesus Christ that’s grim
Another BS statement by the corrupt BBC. To think that we are made to pay for this detritus organisation DefundTheBBC
The government's herd immunity plan to cull the elderly went well then.... alexnicholson7
How convenient. They must be still a bit short of a target as mask are still not mandatory.
Completely dehumanizing headline.
You know this is dehumanising stuff right?
Maybe MPs will cease their ridiculous comments 'were all living longer ' as a justification for making people work longer and cutting benefits
Disgustingly low even for the BBC
Great news
Fucking hell! The Nazis followed this route.
BBC now almost celebrating eugenics in their endless arselicking of government
Explains why the Tories pursued a herd immunity strategy and let COVID-19 spread like wildfire in care homes
This makes me feel physically sick 😪
Non taxpayers (including pensioners) are bottom of the list in the government’s thoughts. Luckily they have a vote otherwise they’d literally be forgotten.
Was always the plan! ToryIncompetence
+1 point to the Conspiracy theorists
Goodness me, who would have conspiracy theoried that a year ago!! I’ve lost track of how many theories were corrupt
Eugenics in action.
Who would have thought Plus inheritance taxes cha cha ching ching.
Was that the plan?
🤔
That is what they banked on.
Fantastic
Cause the Tories killed them all.
Now I understand!🤔🥴
