LBC Caller: Good for the pensioners!

They've worked all their lives, paid their money on pensions and now they're getting taxed to get that pension back.It just feels very unfair across the board for everybody.

Can I tell you the money that's involved in this?So, in the last year, 25 to 26, we'll spend £145 billion on working age and children welfare.This includes spending on Universal Credit and its predecessor and non -DWP welfare spending.£145 billion on working age people and kids.On pensioners, we'll spend £177 billion on benefits for pensioners.This includes spending on the state pension which is forecast to be £146 billion.

55 % of all social security expenditure goes to pensioners.
