On the topic of ‘strategic partnership’ please raise the issue of Frozen UK State Pensions. This injustice needs to end. Our seniors and veterans need your help, MP Anand. #CanadaUK

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?

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

Seniors are being forced to unretire to fight the high cost of living, with 40% of seniors forced to return to work after retirement. For over 100,000 British pensioners in Canada, this story is all too familiar as they try surviving on an average of £56/week. #cdnpolitics

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.

British State pensioners in Canada are victims of the UK’s long-standing ‘frozen pensions’ policy. Many are condemned to financial hardship, receiving as little as £65 per week — or even less. It’s time to end this injustice. It’s time to #EndFrozenPensions

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

UK state pensioners in the US, EU, and Jamaica get full annual increases. In Canada, Australia and St. Kitts & Nevis? Nothing. Same pension, same people, different treatment. Time to unfreeze the policy. #EqualPensions #PensionJustice

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?
