When I told my team I was thinking about speaking tonight about the fiscal drag, I’ll be honest, there was some concern about the viewing figures But are we ok with this much public spending being funded by a tax rise that nobody is really talking about?

By Ian Preece Husband to a 1950's Woman After an additional 6 year wait, my wife will finally receive her state pension next week. That’s a loss of c£54,000. During these 6 years, I have had to support us both financially, meaning that only now can I fully retire.

Elon Musk just said saving for retirement becomes pointless in 10 to 20 years. Not speculation. Math. Musk: “Don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement in like ten or 20 years. It won’t matter.” We passed the event horizon. Retirement savings assumes scarcity persists. It won’t. AI and robotics collapse labor costs to zero. Living costs follow. You’re not saving for security. You’re saving for a world that stops existing. Musk: “If any of the things that we’ve said are true, saving for retirement will be irrelevant.” Age of Abundance isn’t vision. It’s physics. Economic laws executing whether you believe them or not. 5,000 days. Fourteen years. Global GDP uncaps. Production approaches infinite. Net worth as concept dies. Only scarcity left is meaning. Money stops being the constraint. Timeline is shorter than your brain accepts. Fourteen years. We transition from survival work to Universal High Income in that window. Event horizon isn’t coming. You’re in it. Operating under old rules while ground disappears beneath you means you already lost. Production costs hit zero through automation. Everything priced on human labor reprices instantly. Housing. Food. Goods. Services. All reset when scarcity evaporates. Traditional planning assumes structure persists. Save for decades. Retire on capital returns in scarcity markets. That model shatters when abundance becomes baseline. You’re optimizing for a world vanishing while the replacement materializes. Your strategy becomes obsolete before you finish executing it. The retirement you’re building toward assumes costs stay high. They collapse. And your savings designed for expensive scarcity become irrelevant in cheap abundance. Every dollar you put away for future scarcity is a bet against the transformation already happening. And that bet loses the moment production costs hit zero and the economy you planned for stops functioning. You’re not preparing for the future. You’re clinging to a past that’s ending whether you accept it or not. And fourteen years from now, the question won’t be whether you saved enough. It’ll be why you wasted time saving for conditions that don’t exist anymore.

#Budget2026 #WelfareState Here's an hypothesis looking at the #NIF mechanics had #Treasury continued to honour its Tripartite Agreement - as have employers and employees been required to do. Possibly restoring a fund balance several times larger than today’s #NIF reserve? E&OE

#CEDAWinLAW is no longer prepared to stand by whilst older people are unfairly castigated and erroneously held responsible for the plight of younger people. The unprescented abundance of entrepreneurial opportunities that #AI brings are there for the taking. #JustDoIt #Budget2026

Because of the triple lock, the state pension is set to rise by roughly £488 next year. Our pensioners absolutely deserve security, and Restore Britain will deliver that, but we also need to be honest about who is now largely funding it. Younger workers are already facing outrageously high taxes, enormous housing costs and the challenge of saving for their own retirement - yet the triple lock can push pensions up faster than prices, leaving a younger generation of workers with an ever-growing burden. It’s just not fair. These are our children and our grandchildren. Personally, I do not believe they should shoulder the costs of our generation’s selfish and destructive approach to the economy - leaving vast national debt as our inheritance is a shameful legacy for us. It just is. When I launched Restore Britain as a party, I said we would take the difficult decisions needed to deliver a better Britain for those who come after us. I meant it. So we will replace the triple lock. Restore Britain will secure the state pension by linking it to CPI, protecting pensioners' purchasing power. No other serious political party has the courage to do this. Restore Britain will not attempt to buy votes today with money tomorrow's workers will have to earn. Young people deserve a fair deal too. Unbelievable for a party leader to say, I know. Our economy is broken, almost beyond repair - everybody is going to have to pay the price to drag our country out of the very deep hole it is currently in. I mean, everybody. That includes replacing the Triple Lock, alongside a vast range of other cuts to the size of the state. Millions of freeloading foreign nationals will be deported, the asylum system abolished, and foreign aid reduced to almost nothing. But we all have to shoulder the burden, sadly. Everybody is going to have to pay to fix the mistakes of my generation.
