The National Pensioners Convention delivered a defiant manifesto at their annual Pensioners Parliament in Blackpool this week. Condemning the Tories plans for the dementia tax, means tested winter fuel payments and removal of the triple lock pension, they called for social care free at the point of need, a state pension at a level of 70% of the living wage, and maintenance of universal benefits – and, alongside Disabled People Against Cuts, vowed to take to the streets to fight for them, whatever the Government.
