The ConLAB government..

Don’t forget their stables also

 

Removing benefits for people with mental health issues wasn’t on my politics bingo card this year.

that will be fun

 

Probably claimed what they can like Labour you could say all the same or very similar, but when your cutting fuel for pensioners but taking handouts yourself is hypocritical.

 

I would imagine that you would not be able to evidence one child in this country who is starving, never mind starving by virtue of any action of Starmer’s.

The pensioners who may be in trouble regarding loss of winter fuel payments will be relatively few – benefits claimants will be OK as will private pensioned oldies. The others have had triple lock help which exceeds the winter payment loss.

Story of my life too – I was due next winter.

So this emotive stuff sounds good but it is bypassing fact.

Where Starmer deserves absolute contempt is in behaving in exactly the same way as every other freebie grabbing politician, not understanding that such behaviour is morally corrupt, and that it should all stop. And not seemingly wanting to do anything about it. We're alright Jack.

And this was as I was trying as hard as I could to like him as a person, but had always been struggling. After finding that he’s not prepared to insist that he pays for his own clothes, he’s lost me. For good.

 

Would that be the £53m Boris Johnson Garden Bridge?

 

Still bitter?

 

Let’s see what more your hero has in store love.

No, just their stables.

 

Yes it is. Some people will have serious difficulty because of this. Its callous to suggest otherwise. Just because many can cope adequately without it doesn't mean many people won't be in severe distress.

 

Having regard to the triple lock, please supply documentary evidence of "severe distress" as a result of this decision to get rid of winter payments.

I am yet to be convinced, and you must have studied it in detail.

 

Some on here need to respect the result of the election. You lost we won. LOL. ToryMoaners. Democracy at its finest. Just scaremongering. LOL.

Etc etc.

 

she has a residence provided for the Chancellor of the Exchequer so we can assume she won’t be claiming any extra housing benefits whilst in the post

 

Just pausing there, you are really accepting that many, many people do not need what is basically an untargeted benefit? It was put up to be a vote winner, but is not an efficient or fair use of public funds.

 

If it's an untargeted benefit, and so obviously disposable, how come Starmer didn't advertise its disappearance pre-election?

What does that tell you?

 

Very mature. Post like this make me think they could have had a German Shepherd as labour leader and some would have still voted for it.

 

He wouldn't have dared announce it pre election.

 

"Vote for me! I'm going to ditch your winter fuel allowance!"

 

The video doing the rounds on socials is funny when he visits dewsbury and he mentions how he's met old folk who can't afford to heat their homes in the energy crisis, few months later...

 

Bit lazy,that, Mr R. The height of the energy crisis put bills up by 200%. The WFA amounts to £6 per week. Hardly comparable.
