Expat tells Tories to 'pay up' after pension frozen at £70 a week for 18 years

Brian Green is among an estimated half a million Brits living abroad whose pension payments no longer increase at the normal rate.

The 85-year-old, originally from Billinge near Wigan, Lancashire, moved to Queensland, Australia, with his wife in 2003 to be closer to the couple's daughters, reports the Daily Express.
