Anita Anand Ralph Goodale Were you able to discuss Frozen UK State Pensions and look for solutions? This injustice must end. Seniors and Veterans have been waiting too long. #CanadaUK
Anita Anand Jean-Noël Barrot France has unfrozen UK State Pensions. Canada has frozen UK State Pensions. Were you able to ask about why that is so…and how to end the injustice? #EndFrozenPensions
During last month’s Westminster Hall debate, Sir Roger Gale said it best. Is this Keir Starmer’s idea of fairness for over 100,000 British state pensioners in Canada? Watch below ⬇️
UK State Pensioners, residing in Canada and the Falkland Islands, both receive frozen pensions. 🇨🇦MP Maloney, can this injustice of Frozen Pensions be added to the June 10, 2025 #CCOM agenda? Parl Diplomacy James Maloney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦 Falkland Islands Gov Government House🇬🇧🇫🇰
The cost to unfreeze UK state pensions for expats living abroad represented a "drop in the ocean" for the Treasury, says Chair of the #EndFrozenPensions Campaign. Read more in the article below👇 Mattie Brignal for the The Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/money/pensions…
The #CanadaUK relationship is supposedly one of the strongest. Yet 100,000+ British pensioners in Canada are left behind by the unjust #frozenpensions policy. Keir Starmer Mark Carney some 400,000+ frozen pensioners have waited decades for fairness. Will you address this
The UK government announced that winter fuel payments will go to millions more pensioners, costing The Labour Party £1.25 bn yearly. Ending frozen pensions for over 400,000 British pensioners worldwide would cost a mere £57 million. Rachel Reeves wouldn’t that be a good deal?
🧵Three reasons why Mark Carney should meet with Anne Puckridge, 100-year-old WWII veteran and frozen pensioner:
The Commonwealth Ministry of International Relations & Trade Could you ask the leader of the Commonwealth nations (UK) to unfreeze 50 of 56 countries so that British pensioners can retire to any of these countries and be treated equally in the payment of their pension. It’s unjust, unfair and discriminatory. #EndFrozenPensions #EndFrozenPensions Canada
With 100,000+ UK state pensioners in Canada living on an average of £56/week, many rely on welfare. Steven MacKinnon Shafqat Ali MP #frozenpensions cost Canadians more. Ending them is an easy way to save taxpayers money. Will you put pressure on the UK government to act?
Summer has officially kicked off in Canada! Even though the weather is warm, the 100,000+ UK frozen pensions living in Canada are being left in the cold. When will Keir Starmer finally listen to pensioners and #EndFrozenPensions? #UKPolitics #PensionJustice
Keir Starmer Does your Plan for Change include giving justice to the frozen UK state pensioners who contributed throughout their lives, but are cruelly deprived of the regular increments given to all other UK pensioners. Please comment.
95% of frozen pensioners live in Australia & Canada—loyal Commonwealth nations. Keir Starmer, will you keep ignoring them? RT if you agree ALL pensioners deserve fairness. #EndFrozenPensions
There has always been cross-party support to #EndFrozenPensions . UK Parliamentarians know this isn’t a partisan issue—it’s about fairness. Keir Starmer The Labour Party
It would only cost the UK government £11 million in 2025/2026 to unfreeze our pensions in Canada. This is less than one penny per £100 already being spent on pensions. Keir Starmer Rachel Reeves Liz Kendall Torsten Bell will you #EndFrozenPensions?
