Selling off Channel 4, a profit-making publicly-owned asset, makes no sense. This puts jobs, small businesses and popular TV shows at risk. @NadineDorries get your hands off @Channel4 #HandsOffChannel4 @We_ownit weownit.org.uk/act-now/stop-…

This is a measure of how far we have come in favouring pensioners over those of working age.
Decades of NICs increases and income tax cuts have shifted the tax burden decisively towards those of working age, just as pensioners have seen their incomes rise much faster.

Average tax rates are higher for a working-age person than for pensioner receiving same amount in pension income. The difference has grown over time
