concerns about Rachel Reeves' attack on pensioners

and her ditching of the rail projects to restore the beeching cuts. If there is a cut that needs making, she should cut the remaining HS2 project completely. It was a white elephant from beginning to end.

£300 a YEAR ! Lords get £300 aDAY go figure

By not increasing the tax threshold the government has already taking more money from pensioners. The state pension is pitifully low.

[kayod]

She could have cancelled the Royals rise of £46m. The rich are getting richer. But let the old folk freeze. I really like you comment calm and concise and not overly hysterical like the so called tabloids.

[JG-fvbv]

How about a permenent pay and expenses freeze for ALL Politicians until the economy is back in the black and problems solved .

[Dave-no]

I guess Labour MPs will be leading the way on saving money giving back all their expenses, freebies and not forgetting subsidised meals and booze in their nice warm comfortable parliament

[tobylynch]

Labour have just lost the pensioner vote. More self harm by a government. Obviously they don't want to be the government for long.

[katalinhorvath]

UK sate pension is about £500 lower the the Dutch and German ones.

[claireSE]

There’s plenty of money in this country. If they checked in fraud, mis management and theft . That’s too much trouble though

[Nemo]

Imagine if you are 1p over the threshold as a pensioner and no Winter fuel payment. Its wrong and divisive.

[jillnicoll]

The Labour party is no different to tory. TAX THE RICH. Millions of people have more money than they will ever need

"I’ll never forget a woman in Leeds West I spoke to, who had purple fingers because her pension wasn’t enough to pay for the heating. We must act now. " - Rachel Reeves on X, Aug 2022.

[deepoole]

I'd like to see Rachel Reeves live on an average pensioners income for 6 months, not have private health care, not have access to a driver, and be actually COLD this winter!

[Carlos]

My pension income with state pension and private pension is £1166.00 gross and £1116.00 per month after tax, I’m unable to claim any benefits and the winter fuel payment ment I could have the heating on for a few hours a day during the winter, I’ve worked for 52 years, WTF for?

[chiccabay]

You can always tell how good a country is by the way it looks after its elderly and children.Sorry to hear this.

[chrisfox]

We're both retired and frankly we don't NEED the winter fuel allowance. It's a nice bit of spending money before christmas but not essential to our survival.

For perspective it would take 350 years of WFA to recover the money stolen from my pension pot by Liz Truss' antics.

[annmccrindle]

Why target the vulnerable disgusting 😢

[doreenhollywood]

Here in Scotland, we have higher heating costs than the rest of uk. Our climate is also a lot colder. We need our heating allowance

[cobbler]

The UK state pension is the lowest in the G7 and the government struggles to pay it.

[Blacklab]

Means testing the pensioners, how low can we get. That’s Labour for you.

[marksuttonbiodynamicbreath]

The OBR produced a statement yesterday, it appears they are investigating the extent to which the Tories lied to them.
