All MP's bank accounts should be open and accountable and scrutinized.

Damn right, PUBLIC SERVANTS therefore the public should be able to see them.
On a side note, if couples on UC where one works and they get nothing, then MPs can also go by that rule.
The PM is minted, plus his wife is too. I’m sure he doesn’t need a wage and maybe put that towards I don’t know, doctors and nurses wages? And maybe they take a bloody pay cut, the lot of them. Why is it they get regular pay rises and expenses at OUR expense yet they punish the actual people who work for a living serving the public.
These gobshtes have taken the great out of Great Britain and need shot of now. Embarrassing saying I’m from this country…
Totally totally agree but it ain't ever gonna happen !!! UK needs a revolution not an election.

@@amifoongaWhy shouldn't we see the banks accounts of those in Gvt, to prove their worthiness. They tell us they are the Public's servants. As their masters, we should have the right.
Let us have access to the MPs and Ministers bank accounts. By God, what fiddle would that expose? Wake up people!!!!!
Absolutely.
Access to corporate accounts too
Especially their ones in the Caymans.
Possibly the most constructive comment I've seen for ages. 👍
The beauty of a UK CBDC is that it won't let the government access or ammend billionaires offshore funds, only ordinary people living and voting in the UK. There is a reason why they are copying China on this.
Yet again my heart and my spirit sinks a little lower as another Tory idea surfaces. Just when I thought they couldn't sink any lower, they dredge the depths once more. How utterly depressing and dystopian this country is becoming under these fascist knuckle draggers 😔.
It's simply legislation paving the way for their planned CBDC. They are quite open about their desire to have full control of "your" money via a Central Bank Digital Currency, but hey if you have done nothing wrong in your entire life (that includes complying with future rules in the past) you have nothing to worry about.
Tell me about it. These Torys are literally turning into a full on fascist party right infront of us, right now. There’s a reason they want the UK to leave the European Court of Human Rights & if people are seriously naive enough to think they just want to take that action to deal with asylum seekers, then boy will they regret thinking its no big deal or even worse, in support of it. They’ve already changed laws to make our right to protest harder & I guarantee they’ll get to workers right to protest through strike action next & then on & on & on our human rights will get eroded one after another. This Tory government of the last 13 years have been by a million country miles the worst government of my lifetime & that’s no small achievement considering that includes ’Thatcher,Thatcher the kids milk snatcher’ government of the ‘80s.
@@markysgeeklab8783they'll have you over a barrel, your civil rights are being eroded by the bright young things and a bunch of freeloaders.
If this was a labour government suggestion it would be criticised as big brother, nanny state, communist interference.
@@johnmoore9862 exactly!
So simply by drawing my state pension, which I’ve worked for all my adult life, the Government go snooping around my affairs. 😡
They won't target you or any one person specifically. What they're looking for is big data, large amounts of information which would show them patterns. BTW big data is very valuable. Advertisers pay a lot of money for that information. But in this instance, I think they're looking to find pretexts to cut benefits while at the same time showing people: "See? This is what they were actually doing with the money. They had useless expenses. So why would the tax payer pay for someone's Netflix subscription?"
And to claw monies back without your permission.
I’m really not surprised by anything this government do anymore.😾
Once they have access to the bank accounts of pensioners, they can make it means tested. -AARGH!
Basically, yes they can.
It needs to be mentioned that there was an EU law which would have made this illegal. Guess what happened to it !!!
Did... people scold the law and told it to go back to where it came from?
Funny, that.
It’s a Brexit benefit then, have your bank account monitored if you get a state pension or child benefit.
All those Doom mongers saying there were none were clearly wrong 😂😂😂
I'd bet that most of those on benefits, if they voted, they voted leave. So I laugh at them if this goes through, 😂🤣
@ChuckstaGaming I didn't and why would you laugh at them ,it effects in work benefits too
Imagine how much we'd have saved if we spied on their bank accounts !
Yeah spot on 👍👍🏴
Wow, saving about £19 000 a month for the next 5 years.....what about the PPE scams? Tories???? 😡😡😡
A fair point.
They have no interest in doing that because it would expose all the donations that came back to them in return for those contracts
HMRC estimates there is a shortfall of £30 Billion in avoided and evaded tax. The Tax Justice collective, an independent tax monitoring agency (for want of the correct title) estimates that there is £120 billion missing in tax receipts from the very rich and big business, mostly due to tax haven accounting. Benefit fraud is estimated at £1.2 billion but much of that is clawed back. Even more amusing Benefits unclaimed are circa £16 Billion.
6 billion.
Redefined as legitimate and understandable mistakes and oversights.
As MP's are in receipt of money from the government, we should have access to their accounts
We don't get access to anything, a CBDC is not open ledger like bitcoin. Only the government have full access and control over what can be spent, when it can be spent and what you can buy.
PS this legislation is to pave the way for a CBDC.
Money from us it's not there money
@@toriesdontgettazered7464 it is their money if we have a CBDC. It's kind of like the financial version of serfdom/slavery & once it's legal then it's happening
🙌🏻
@@Boo-pv4hn so you want the ruling government to have access to all opposition MPs accounts?
A serious invasion of privacy. All the other parties should get together and block this from becoming law. Oh, and - as others have pointed out - the State Pension is *not* a benefit but an income earned by paying a lifetime of National Insurance contributions.
In the eyes of the government the state pension is a benefit paid to those who have outlived their tax usefulness- the useless eaters, along with the single parents, the disabled and unemployed. We paid for a lifetime of contributions- in my husband's case, until 75! but even the teacher's pension stops at 40 years. 10 extra is unrewarded! They are ruthless, as the priority for dangerous injections showed!
It’s classed as a benefit and it has been since conception. That alludes that those on benefits don’t work/haven’t worked ect. Just like tax credits ect they’ll all be counted, if you don’t like it you’ll have to stand shoulder to shoulder with those that you deem are on “benefits”
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT LABOUR WILL DO IF THEY GET BACK IN, ALSO WHAT POLICY DOES REFORM HAVE ON THE WELFARE SYSTEM THEY DONT MENTION ANYTHING. SNP DO
Somebody stop these evil evil people who pray on vulnerable people
they are scum.
I'm glad that you think this is just a scam, but I fear that scrutiny of bank accounts is only the first stage of law amendments that ends with government being able to extract money from those accounts without the account holders permission.
I do not think our Il Presidente wants access to my bank account. Access to bank accounts must be available for all EU citizens for their local ministry of finance. For many years now. Maybe thats why the UK wanted out?
@@wolfgangpreier9160 the "UK" did not want out, only england and wales voted to leave, Scotland and Northern Ireland both voted a majotiy to REMAIN!
The UK is already setting up a separate UK CBDC. This bill in parliament basically makes it legal to pay benefits in CBDCs so they can do it without legal restriction without requiring further consent from parliament.
The reason for a CBDC is that the government can see and amend your bank account or your permission to spend money on any particular item or service at the touch of a button.
@@ValiantWrestling Yes i know, But England is the driving force of the UK. All others are just groupies following the big bad leaders. Their opinion does not count anyway.
Meanwhile, the taxpayers were charged a £17 million bill for subsidising meals for the House of Commons MPs. Let that sink in,
Not forgetting that each MP claims circa £100k in exps in addition to their £84k salary!
Force the govt to include any company (and its directors) that gets public cash, whether grants, bailouts or no-bid contracts
That would completely defeat the purpose of the bill. The purpose of the bill is so that they will be able to legally only pay out government funds via a CBDC. That will mean the government have control over when and how ordinary people (including public servants) can spend "their own" money.
China are already doing it and it is great for them, because they can restrict anyone's access to anything at any time.
@@markysgeeklab8783 I think you have viewed some different video... the video I am commenting on is about the UK govt wanting to access the bank accounts of benefit claimants to check if they have another income or strange expenditures that they can use to challenge the rights of the claimant.
I say the govt should extend this to anyone receiving govt assistance, e.g. Nissan and TaTa motors received hundreds of millions in taxpayer cash, their bank accounts and those of their directors should be subject to similar checks to avoid cash being misspent.
@@markysgeeklab8783
It's not just the social credit system these low lifes want to implement (and it's deliberately flown under the radar initially), there's the undermining of everything we as the public can lay claim to, such as our medical choices (The NHS), our cars (we will be forced to accept EV's because insurance is skyrocketing.....deliberately) food, (look at the killing these big companies made so far), houses (mortgage rates also heading up and not down), then there's fuel whether for heating your house or running your vehicle (controlled by a greedy market) ..... bottom line 1984 is now our reality!
I want to access Tory MPs acounts.
Especially the offshore accounts.
If it gets rolled out for benefits recipients, it'll eventually be rolled out to everyone.
Indeed , but your pension is not a benefit.
@paulwilson7234 the State pensions is a benefit. Osborne changed the definition so he could claim there were another 4 million 'scroungers' sucking on the teat of the welfare state.
Well if they include child benefit then yes that's virtually every adult in the UK with earnings less that £100k
I dont have a problem with Torries accessing Universal credit and pensioners bank accounts.
*As long as Labour gets access to Cayman Island, Isle of Man, Guernsey & Jersey, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, British Virgin Islands, HongKong, Singapore, Bermuda & Bahamas, bank accounts of British Citizens, aye?* harharharharharharharhar 😅🤣😂😆
mps first.
Why aren’t the usual Brexit supporters shouting about this Brexit benefit.
It wouldn’t be possible if we were EU members
This is where their extra sovereignty has gone, ie straight to the Tories to use and abuse as they see fit.
They have so many other benefits to brag about that it gets drowned out.
Like, uhm... No external rules and laws setting down a baseline minimum to hold them back?
They can’t read or think that far ahead…
There ain't no benefits
How about the all bank accounts of the Tories who claim tax payers money not only for their wage but their expenses like food, heating and rent that normally working people have to pay for with their own wage?
Good evening Max and all here. What a disgrace. Are they inspecting the rich bank accounts? Who knows from where their millions are coming?
"Who knows from where their millions are coming?" I can hear a song coming from that direction. The lyrics start kind of like this: "Unbreakable union of free born republics/That Great Russia has welded together" But hey, we in the EU are the EUSSR and the 4th Reich.
their money comes from russia.
Let’s make the law reciprocal and see how quickly politicians turn down this request 🙄
More to be gained I think if we could give the tax inspectors access to their bank accounts.
The wording of this bill is horrible. No suspicion of fraud is necessary to trigger the ability to monitor bank accounts.
Why not have access to non dom and tax didgers bank accounts? Very little is lost to benefit fraud.
Fraud = £1.2 billion, most of it is collected in the long run. Unclaimed benefits are £16 billion (I dont see them trying to rectify that). HMRC estimates £30 missing tax receipts due to evasion (by the rich of course) and Tax Justice estimated £120 Billion. (and we know they dont give a toss about that figure, even if it were 10x that)
Everything the Tories and their Libertarian backers do is designed to avoid exactly that.
These Tories truly are the epitome of evil. I really dont say that lightly!!!
I'll be withdrawing my money and paying for everything in cash and at paypoints if this goes through. For as long as we have cash anyway.
Cash will be the first thing to go.
It’s definitely going to drive up cash spending
If this law came in
Then the people of the UK need to be protest on rhe Streets. Just like with the Poll Tax.. in the 80s
Will they also be bringing in powers for the public to inspect the bank accounts of MPs to find out about expenses, second jobs, investments in privatised businesses and backhanders from foreign citizens?
If they could get away with it, the Tories would have all of us microchipped and surveilled to the point of total and complete control...oh and perhaps some device like a shock collar to prevent any contrary opinions or actions as well.
Its just a ruse to convince people that benefit fraud is a huge out of control issue.
HMRC estimate £1.2 billion, but much of that is recovered anyway. HMRC also estimate £30 billion missing in tax receipts due to evasion, mostly by rich individuals like our MPs I would guess and big business. Tax Justice has worked out that the figure for evasion is around £120 Billion.
@@stephanguitar9778 years ago there was a statistic out that the amount lost in fraud was less than the amount of unclaimed benefits..
The tories are really sinking to further lows.
Over my dead body. I’m not having some bonus-incentivised desk jockey attacking me for daring to spend money on pets or donating to charities.
This is just another excuse to perpetuate the idea that we’re all having three holidays a year and own 52-inch plasma TVs . 😒
If it is possible to access personal bank accounts so easily, I think a good starting place would be with sitting MPs.
BAMG ON the biggest Fiddlers in Britain
And Lords
Yep let's see what these shysters are hiding.
couldn't agree more
Of course these rogues bank accounts are in faraway places. Look at Mogg and his Brexit. His business is going through Dublin (EU) These people are the most dishonourable shower of gits you would ever meet. I’ve always knew how twisted they are when they leave jobs in the city that pays huge salaries to go on to a back benchers salary. Who would do this?
I'm on UC after working for 40 years straight. I'm happy for them to look at my bank account as long as you and I can look at all the MPs bank accounts!
I think its about time the parliament tells the public where they spend people tax money to every single penny.
The SNP voted against the 3rd reading of this bill but there was no sign of Labour.
Yes it is a shame that we are missing an opposition party when we really want one 😢
Once they are in your account will they be looking at what you buy and if they deem it a luxury deduct the amount from your next payment. Things like xmas gifts for your children, new clothes instead of shopping at a charity outlet.
They can see what you buy through peoples' shopping apps and loyalty cards.
If everyone pulls there money out the bank & then refuses to do any type of banking, Starts paying cash for everything that would put a stop to it & give the people there privacy back. Cash really is king.
Well that's terrifying
Is there any possible reason at all that the government could have to examine the bank account of a non-means tested benefit? What would they be looking for?
It is the first step of means testing the state pension 😢
Simply put, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING they don't much like the look of. Items someone that buys, a TV for example, was it a necessary purchase? Did they buy a TV license? A short step away from looking, is: Can we take money out of there account to pay bailiffs, CCJ's etc etc. It's another way of having the poor account for what this government believes is the poor's OWN fault. This just further hounds them in the hope that they will get off benefits and move into jobs that pay next to nothing to live on, all while being taxed to the hilt.
There will be countless suicides over this - if this goes through. The Tories know this. @@jubear1493
Yes the conservatives are great with the economy 😂😂 Liz Truss’ mini budget says hi
Weird how Nigel Farage moans about debanking and hasn't said anything about this in the jungle because it doesn't affect him
Don’t forget, it will be scrutinised in “The Other Place”.
Whatever reforms are made to The Lords, The Lords must be unafraid to chuck out nonsense when it appears.
The funny realisation that the aristocracy is a greater defender of the rights and freedoms of the people than the House of Commons.
@@octavianpopescu4776 has been that way for years.
@@octavianpopescu4776I take your point, but the House of Lords is no longer populated only by the aristocracy, the caste that inherits its titles. There are only about 80 of them left, and as they die off there are elections (!) to replace them. The rest of the 800 plus (?) lords and ladies, apart from law lords and lords spiritual, are appointed by prime ministers with some kind of committee having a bit of input, I believe. The Tories have tried to pack the House of Lords but have managed only a guaranteed third of the seats, many of them ‘bought’ by donations to the Conservative Party. In Boris Johnson’s time the price was about £3 million.
Just assume the worst, its the best to do with the tories.

It starts tomorrow
the racist tories.
@@poppiefleur7425Hi. Where does it say that it starts tomorrow? Thanks
That is just evil
It was iffy when the entitlement to a state pension was renamed as a benefit. If governments become able to snoop on a pensioner's bank account without scrutiny, how long before means testing comes in? Theft of accrued pension?
And if you have an income from other source, such as savings you have spent your life accruing for a rainy day, they will means test you and decide that you don't need the "benefit" of a pension. 😢😢
If we start to check every people in parliament bank accounts and things they spend their money on, I reckon only honest MP's will remain.
Best start with Cameron followed by the current PM
BANG ON
And his wife with her nom dom status they have a cheek I don’t no how he could keep a straight face
This is disgusting...they have no right....and it appears we have no rights now.
It's weird, if your house is searched, a warrant is needed, granted by a magistrate. There has to be sufficient evidence for suspicion of a crime. Why doesnt this apply here? To those who say "if you've nothing to hide, etc", enjoy your rectal cavity search seeing as you've nothing to hide. Privacy is not hiding.
Would the accounts of, say, Nadim Zahawi be open to scrutiny?
State pension is NOT benefit.
I saw this the other day. And thought what the hell?. I think it is theirs we need to check. Who do they think they are?.
If they put a back door for government to view people's bank accounts then it would not be long at all for hackers to get access to anyone's bank account
You think they can't now?
This is to make access easier but mostly as an election gimmick.
@@user-sd3ik9rt6dthis is not a gimmick, this legislation allows them to use their new planned CBDC to pay all government money out.
They are openly admitting that they want a CBDC so that they can have full control of all UK based bank accounts.
The plebs own fault for not having offshore bank accounts like most of the tories.
One Word Michelle Mone !!
BANG ON Sunak but 65 Million in her Account for useless PPE when he was Chancellor removed her whip but she kept the Tax payers money
That would be 2 words.... But yes.
I’ve a better one word name for her. You come across as a nice lady so I won’t use it.
I think it will have the opposite effect to the one intended - who the hell would vote for a party that wants to monitor your monies?
plenty of authoritarian tory voters who think no one should be buying anything that is not basic food
Yes, but for pity's sake let's hope they are in the minority.@@emerald9049
People will just withdraw cash from their accounts and keep it in a safe, and avoid triggering a bank alert. That's what I would do if I had above the limits and was on a benefit.
Well, there are lots of people on UC with huge amounts in the bank. NOT .if you're already on UC, you're already literally living a life of he'll and constant worry. We've got members of Parliament subletting tax paid flats in London milking expenses of shore accounts, second jobs, and contracts worth millions paid out to companies connected directly to mps. But yet again, it is people on the very bottom of the society ladder who are to blame. You couldn't make it up. It is an absolute disgusting abuse of power . And quite frankly, a complete piss take.
you say, "Well, there are lots of people on UC with huge amounts in the bank. " no, have you read the eligibility criteria? anyone who has less than "16000 in the bank can claim UC, any that have more than that can't. this is a means tested beneifitt. btw, the 16000 upper savings limit has been in place for some years now. the lower limit is 6000 in the bank. anything below 6000 pounds is not counted towards a taper of your UC or other income related beneifits.
@blackbearish I was being sarcastic nobody on uc has any spare money. The word not in" capital letters "should have given that away. I know all the rules and regulations. Read my comment again, but this time, take it in the way it was intended as a demonstration of how cruel the system is.
sorry, i'm a text to speech user, and the speech synthasyser doesn't automatically tell me if words are capitalised. it would keep saying cap, n, cap, o, cap t," if it was set to that. imagine listening to a sentence like, "cap I am cap I said, cap I will,"" said Cap Charles," so my comment was a misunderstanding due to the technology. I use a screenreader btw. and yes, I agree with the rest of your comment.
@blackbearish no worries. To be honest, this government are complete sociopaths . Every time an election comes around, it's always people on benefits that are singled out as scroungers. I've been through 14 assessments since 2010 for sickness benefits. They do not understand the word degenerative. I can't see any change coming anytime soon, my friend.
This feels like a move toward a more authoritarian type of Government which will be able to dispense rules and regulations onto the things you are allowed to spend your money on. Limiting misuse to protect the "vulnerable" from harm and secretly imposing limitations on the "unworthy" buying luxury items funded by the "taxpayers". Only people who are deemed economically active will be allowed to buy "luxury items" or "high-quality items" to allow those forced to work on a minimum wage to feel less unfairly treated.
This is less about fraud and more about control.
You only just come to the conclusion 😂😂
@@craigedwards7062 No, I have been suspecting this for a while but hoping it was untrue.
@SoulPoetryandOtherWorks It may now have woken you up to what their end game plans are then. Something conspiracy theory nutters have been telling you for years.
Its called the Victorian times.
1984. Orwellian. That is what this is.
Tory Bank accounts should be examined. A lot of public funding has gone missing. 😅
Believe me it’s no gimmick! This is timed to come in with CBDCs. And I believe it also covers anyone connected to those who have benefits. In essence, it will enable the government to scrutinise EVERYONE’s bank accounts!
why is there a 16k limit, why are people who save penalised? unable to get a mortgage, especially disabled people in low pay.
@user-qd6nq3zd1f it also effects those who have assets especially when they become unwell they are not rich nor poor why are they not getting help
With us poorer we get nothing forced into work and starvation
I think the upper class and tory Government Absolutely Dispise us because they are working and don't want to
What worries me most is that they call the state pension a 'social benefit'. Pensions aren't handouts, we earn them through NI contributions. But soon they'll say, pensioners choose to live off the public purse when they retire, because retirement at 67 is no longer compulsory. Already preparing the groundwork to dismantle the state pension, the oligarch' s next project after the fall of the NHS.
now you get it.
Benefits aren’t “handouts” people like you are how this law got though, so happy to throw others under the bus that don’t meet your standards many are on disability benefits, I’ve spoke to people with stage 4 cancer and even they have to appeal to get support. Many are working but use it as a top up. Your ignorance is why we are in this situation
This is just a further attack on the poorest people. Sunak said he intended to look after the most vulnerable, as did Cameron, before introducing austerity, that only really penalises the poorest already.
I’ll close my bank account before those parasites have any access to it.
I cannot wait for them to introduce the Mao Se-Tung black uniforms for the people.
This is all about means testing pensioner's state pension i.e. if you have savings and a private pension then your state pension will be severely reduced or stopped completely.
The Tories have already discussed means testing the Winter Fuel Allowance earlier this year. You can be sure that will be the first to go.
Meanwhile, they lifted the banker's bonus cap.
I hope pensioners will remember this at the ballot box next year
The idea that the state pension is a benefit and not a right is quite chilling. My modest works pension without the state one would destroy me and my dependents and I would be on the streets selling matches.
Isn't mp's wages paid by taxpayers money therefore we are their employers .....which means we have more of a right to inspect their bank accounts.
Wait hang on. Most parents get some form of child credit because they're a dependant so does this only apply to the means tested element or the whole thing? As this would give the government snooping power over every parent or guardians bank account in the country
just means tested element atm, though the law does give scope to go for more broad types of information , so potentially everything.
They want kids walking to school in bare feet and back up chimneys by the sound of it. Oh for those Victorian days of slums and squalor.
Not just bank statements but completely unadulterated bank statements.
It's benefit claimants to start with, but it will spread wider afield, watch and see.
And they are doing it today - confirmed.
It isn't to amuse the public, it's a prep phase for the digital currency.
I wouldn't worry, I'm sure the UK isn't becoming a fascist state. The writing's definitely not on the wall, just yet. No telltale signs whatsoever. Business as usual, just carry on folks! It'll be fine...
Will waving flags help stop it?
Who are you trying to convince? Yourself?
@@verystripeyzebra Yes. Flags and synchronized marching. And 3-word slogans, don't forget those! Helpful, they are.
@@maartenaalsmeer as long as it's patriotic and defending my great nation, returning it to a long lost greatness, then how could that be bad.

There will be Pension Relief for those who report neighbours drawing a state pension and going on a cruise or holiday abroad.
To the people still considering voting Tory....... Why ?
To the people considering voting Reform UK ....... WTF! Tories not right-wing enough for you? Not corrupted enough by dirty money? Not vicious and reactionary enough?
This is fine. As long as we, the people demand the power to snoop on the bank accounts of the Right 'Honourable' members. Especially those who have offshore accounts and who pay NO TAXES!! Because, after all, tax fraud far outweighs that of benefit fraud, yes? However, what's good for the goose is never good for the gander...in their case that is.
1984 😢
Disgusting policy
wonder why tories do not feel the need to have access to hedge funds owners who are currently avoiding taxes in the british overseas territories
Exactly what I was going to say. How about scrutinising their accounts & finances? We know they have robbed the treasury of billions to give PPE contracts etc. to their donors, friends, family & even their wives. So, why aren`t they being scrutinised? Mind you, the most that would come of it would be an enquiry, ending with a few recommendations & blah blah blah!!
Those suggestions wouldn't make more sense - for the Tories, how would they keep lining their pockets and handing each other lucrative contracts and cushy peerages. But maybe more people are realising what some people in the UK knew long time ago -
"So much had education accomplished - so much and so far had the toilers of England progressed towards the realisation of their true position - realising at last that they are not citizens, but helots and slaves of an Empire" - James Connolly, executed by the UK govt 1916
What about innocent until proven guilty?
Lol. We are all guilty. Don't you know that yet?
Life itself will become a crime at this rate.@@verystripeyzebra
With the Tories, innocent until proven guilty does not exist anymore for the likes of the poor, the unemployed, the sick the disabled and pensioners.
Believe me, this is already happening. They currently can if you are suspected of fraud, but this is not true. I can assure you
But they need a court order to see the bank accounts of people suspected of fraud curently -if this new law goes through, they can kook whenever they like, its also unacceptable that rheyve reclassified state pension as a benefit
I agree regarding the state pension, without question, but I can assure you it does happen and is not done with a court order@@mjwilliamsb2676
And look how that turned out for the Post Office scandal when you hand powers like that to self protectionist organisations.@@tvguy61
Their claim of fiscal responsibility is pure irony; or, in plain English, a blatant lie. The Tories have borrowed more and paid back less than Labour since the second world war. A band of brigands, related to Robin B'stard.
I wonder when the country's getting a refund from Michelle Mone.
Poverty is the worst form of violence - Ghandi
And because they consider the state pension " a benefit " it also includes all their current voters, they really are incredibly thick!
Child benefit? Disability? I’m under no illusion that I’ll never ever get my state pension. Disillusioned nurse
Perhaps the public should be given the righ to scrutinise the government personal account in the same way!!!!!!
No problem as long as the inland revenue have access to theirs
Maybe they could show the public the paper trail of all the PPE money, follow it to The Isle of Man for instance.
Even for the Tories, this HAS to be ILLEGAL under various data protection laws?
This would allow the introduction of Means Testing of the State Pension.
The DWP already have a legal right to get your bank statements, this is nothing new. They'll be gone soon
MP's get public money so we need to scrutinize their accounts.
They get benefits in the form of expenses & heavily subbed alcohol & food in parliament but heaven forbid anyone goes after that
Next on the list is the basic state pension if you have too much money in your account then we will reduce the pension never mind that you’ve payed in for it all your working life.
They can have access to my bank account, as long as I can have access to the bank accounts of all Tories, and the tax-avoiding ultra-wealthy that they represent.
The sooner that scum are out of office the better let’s see what mps are spending their money on
That video looks like another Tory cartoonist's-gift-face. His lower face is completely out of sinc with the top half.
Well if the Tories want to have a poke around into my 94 year old father's bank account because he has been awarded attendance allowance as he resides in a nursing home, needs 24/7 care and nursing and is practically bed bound now then have at it! The only expense he has these days isn't drugs, drink or gambling, its the £5400 a month nursing home fees he has to pay himself because he's worked hard all his life, saved, looked after his money and took out a private pension as advised in his younger years and doesn't qualify for any assistance. He's a lifelong Labour voter and desperate to stay alive long enough so he can vote to get these dispicable Tories out of power. They need to monitor the bank accounts of their own MP's, families and donors for fraud before they attack pensioners.
All the best to you and your dad.
Hear hear
Hi I agree they should go after the persons who have bank accounts overseas and oumps should have there bank accounts checked
This will also be for the state pension as it’s seen as a benefit, the idea that it will be means tested so if you have another income ( private pension/workplace pension) then, I suspect a future Tory government will look into paying someone less state pension…is there no level the tories won’t stoop to…?
