Minister admits Government could snoop on the bank accounts of state pensioners

The government would save more money if they snooped on the bank accounts of their millionaire donors and cronies, and themselves. We know for a fact that Rees-Mogg was caught out trying to evade tax on £4 million last year, the last Chancellor of the Exchequer Nadhim Zahawi was fined over £10 million for tax evasion by HMRC, Baroness Mone stole £200 million from the PPE fund during the Great Covid Robbery by the government, and Boris Johnson has used at least £500,00 of tax-payers money to defend himself against his Partygate lies. And what happened to the £37 billion Dido Harding disappeared with?

The Work and Pensions Secretary today admitted the Government could begin snooping on the bank accounts of state pensioners in a bid to battle fraud and error.

Mel Stride told MPs it was 'not inconceivable' that new wide-ranging powers might be used to check on payments of the old-age benefit in the future.

This was despite the Cabinet minister acknowledging there is currently a 'very low level' of fraud and error within the administration of state pensions.

Mr Stride was quizzed by the House of Commons' Work and Pensions Committee amid a backlash over powers being sought in the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill.
