Took >6 years to get to this point. Now it's apparently all cancelled. Luckily there's no rush: It's not like we have a housing crisis, or that Cambridge's house price to salary ratio is one of the highest in the country, or that the UK needs growth.

Look at the board of any London headquartered FTSE company
Most will have board members aged over 60
Insane that they can travel to a board meeting in London for free, while the youngster serving their coffee has to pay to get there.

I am so serious when I say that the 32% of people that oppose free bus travel for under 22 year olds should be identified and sent to the moon
An island of people addicted to misery that only wants to inflict further misery on the younger generation

So…the group that GETS FREE BUS TRAVEL, opposes it for young people who have significantly less money and uses public transport more frequently.
The privilege and entitlement of the Boomer generation never ceases to amaze me.

Under 22’s literally screwed up two years of their lives so older people could LIVE. This is how they get treated. We really need to strip ungrateful boomers of their unearned entitlements so they stop leeching off everyone else.

So let’s remove the 60+ oyster commuter freebie @BorisJohnson gave to those below state pension age then?
Intergenerational Foundation retweeted
perhaps because Senior Citizens did not receive free travel when Gareth was young, they should not receive today.

My 17 yr old has an annual bus pass to get to school (7 miles one way). £650 a year! I couldn’t believe it at first. Previous school was similar distance but by train at half the cost.

Are we surprised by this point…
Never have an older (boomer) gen tried to shit on the younger ones so much.

Such is the value of not having to pay National Insurance in retirement
(and not losing your personal allowance if you have income over £100,000)
That an employee needs a salary of £110,550
To receive the same amount of net income as someone with pension income of £100,000

I'll do anything I can to get Britain building. Very excited to be co-chairing the RPG with @MrSimonDudley.

Son's university friend (Biomedical Sciences degree) secured a job after making 160 applications over 7 months. It took enormous resilience and determination to be successful in this gruelling graduate job market.

Today Ofsted has judged TWO children's homes run by the same company inadequate, with serious and widespread failures that mean children and young people are not protected. Take a bow, Dimensions Care Limited

#journorequest And looking to speak to people who started paying into their pension at 18 for @theipaper. Email me at [email protected] if this is you or you can help. Thanks!

THANK YOU for saying this Nic. Just today rents up 21% over 3 years yet departmental silos bang on about the need for higher saving or contribution rates by young without looking across the piste at the tsunami of essential spending they face - it’s why @inter_gen does what we do
Intergenerational Foundation retweeted
It's not as common now for workers to stay with one employer for decades. I'm just hoping this Pensions Commission doesn't churn out a "this is what younger people need to save" and ignore the reasons "why" younger people aren't saving or saving more.

Just been on @TimesRadio with @KateEMcCann talking about increasing the SPA, getting rid of the Triple Lock and public sector pensions
