        @BBCBreaking State pension rises should be linked to government pension rises.

        @BBCBreaking Effectively it's over 32% less to 2001. Inflation avg 2.9%/y, they should get £174++ a week just to keep up with inflation.

        @BBCBreaking £3.35 a week rise when it costs 50% more for basic living. How kind of this numbskull. I feel sorry for pensioners.
