According to Hugo Swire’s website, East Devon is “home to a large number of retired pensioners”.

Is a ‘retired pensioner’ someone who is older than a pensioner and gets an extra allowance from the government?
Shame about mis-spelling “Budleigh-Salterton” (sic) too when it’s in his constituency…..
Swire is a Tory. The Tories think that pensioners should still be working, hence the qualification.

I’m sure many of us would if we coud waltz in to the House of Lords, sign in and collect £300 a day for doing so!
