Less than 5 months ago, Keir Starmer felt ‘disgusted’ by the idea of pensioners not being able to heat their homes. What a difference an election makes.

This may explain why the scrapping of the #WinterFuelPayment was announced out of the blue without any consultation while Parliament was still in recess & before the Budget Reeves already had it up her sleeve #ToriesGone69 #TaxTheRich #WinterFuelAllowance

Donald Trump a de facto Russian asset, FBI official he fired suggests theguardian.com/us-news/2024/s…

Bloody afternoon adverts So far, I’ve donated to 16 charities, ordered 10 cremations, 2 stairlifts & a walk in shower unit I’ll be broke by the weekend😉

When compared with countries of similar wealth, the UK has one of the lowest state pensions. Politicians talk about the "triple lock" as if pensioners should be doffing their caps for it. It’s merely a civilised policy! Very much unlike the cruel axing of the #WinterFuelPayments

I know it. You know it. Brexiters continue to deny it. (or be ignorant of it)

BREAKING: the DWP has JUST published the winter fuel payments cut ASSESSMENT The DWP assessment shows DISABLED PEOPLE will be hit hard by the #WinterFuelPayments cut - while the DWP's move appears to be to intentionally undermine Keir Starmer. READ 👇 thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

Well I’m glad us pensioners have saved the Country from bankruptcy It wouldn’t have been right for those rich c🌟nts to dip into their pockets & pay their fair share #WinterFuelAllowance #TaxTheRich #ToriesGone71 #WinterFuelPayments

Andrew I agree a wealth tax would do a lot to help, as would a 50% income tax rate on earnings over £100k & a 50% inheritance tax rate on the section of estates worth over, say, £10 million. Let everyone & especially big business pay a fair rate of tax. #ToriesGone71

“It’s another British multimillionaire’s solemn farewell tour – how ever will we cope?” Good riddance 😂theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

According to Govt figures, the average #PensionCredit is worth over £3,900 per year #RachelReeves is depending on those eligible not to all sign up or the profit she’ll make from scrapping the #WinterFuelPayment will be negligible #WinterFuelAllowance #TaxTheRich #ToriesGone71

According to Govt figures average #PensionCredit is worth over £3,900 per year If everyone entitled to it signs up, there won’t be much profit left from scrapping the #WinterFuelPayment Reeves decision is just a political one to make her look tough #TaxTheRich #ToriesGone71

Oh the tip was right 😁 #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing #Eastenders

Andrew It is not just the PC money - receiving it also gives you access to other benefits, low or no cost dental treatment as well as the basic £200 wha. The 800,000 claiming it would very rapidly exceed the £1.5 billion

Are there less “celebs” than usual or have they just introduced some of them? #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

Celeb’s relative when told they’ve got a secret “You’re not pregnant, are you?” Knowing #Strictly, that could be arranged 🤣 #StrictlyComeDancing

Glad Toyah mentioned Dolly Parton before I did, wondered what she was doing on the end of the sofa🤣 #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing

“Voters think Brexit has made almost everything worse, from the economy to immigration to the cost of living.” The two main parties can’t keep pretending this isn’t now the electorate’s settled view and refusing to respond.
