There are 450,000 UK state pensioners who are denied a yearly increase for inflation in their pensions, just because they decided to move to countries such as Canada and Australia. Why does the government continue to allow such blatant discrimination? #EndFrozenPension

#EndFrozenPensions Canada There's NO justification for UK to continue the discrimination of its "frozen" rule. Canada pays AND uprates its pension in UK (at UK's behest) but UK refuses to reciprocate. Meanwhile, UK demands reciprocation before it uprates its pension abroad. It doesn't make ANY sense!!

#EndFrozenPensions Canada Canada Trade The Labour Party . Chrystia Freeland "No formal agreement with Canada would be required for the British Government to index pensions payable to British pensioners in Canada". Canada ALREADY pays AND indexes its pension in UK. Which, by the way, was done because UK requested it, and which UK reneged on.

What is the #1 problem facing 450,000 British pensioners living abroad? Many of these pensioners survive off just Β£65 per week or less! When will Keir Starmer and The Labour Party make a #change and #EndFrozenPensions?

As Chrystia Freeland says, no formal agreement is needed for the UK to start indexing its state pensions in Canada. It could start tomorrow. And as Jeff says, the UK requested that Canada index its pensions in the UK as a condition of the UK indexing its pensions in Canada, only for

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 Emma Reynolds for Wycombe 🌹 will you #EndFrozenPensions?

Frozen pensions is another injustice that needs addressing It affects 453,000 expats who live in countries such as Australia, NZ, SA, Canada, Commonwealth countries, who's pension rate is frozen at emigration The result is people who decide to retire to the sun, near family

Gina Miller Thanks, although "retire to the sun" doesn't reflect reality. Most frozen pensioners have emigrated due to work or family obligations. If Brits want retirement in the sun they'll choose Spain or Italy where their pensions won't be frozen.
