I don't agree with him often, but I think pensioners should just have a ringfenced level of income to cover specified outgoings, and NLW should be the starting point. When you take anything away from pensioners you have to consider they're not like the rest of us who (if needed) could take an extra job in tough times. What they have is very often the extent of what they will ever have.
