'Got To Protect Ethnic Minority Families' Labour MP Abstains On Winter Fuel Allowance Slashing Vote

Labour MP Rachael Maskell, discusses the decision to abstain from the vote on the winter fuel allowance, emphasizing the need to protect 2.1 million pensioners living in poverty. She highlighted the importance of targeted mitigations, such as a social tariff and energy on prescription, to address the rising cost of living and energy bills.

Maskell criticized the government's decision, arguing it disproportionately affects vulnerable groups like women, BAME families, and disabled people. She also addressed concerns about Labour MPs' expenses and the need for a moral purpose in protecting the poorest in society.

Should Labour reverse the Winter Fuel Allowance Cut?

[alisonwright]

She ‘talks the talk’ but didn’t ‘walk the walk’ when it came to the vote.…she should’ve voted against the removal of the Winter Fuel Payment.

[tonydavies]

Abstaining is the ultimate cowardice. 2TK and his Liebour cronies are absolutely disgusting.

[chriscurtain]

Any Labour MP with a tiny piece of decency would resign the Labour whip immediately.

[craphat]

She abstained because shes a coward. Your constituents have been let down by her and all labour MPs.

[Evilc-dqkf]

Abstained, that’s like voting with. She talked rubbish.

[philjones]

A sick, twisted and evil policy, from a sick, twisted and evil party.

[norahstuart]

Abstaining is cowardice. It's a dreadful policy. She just wants to keep her salary. She's full of ****.

[Old-Farm-Hand]

Not listening to this crap from someone that couldnt give a f---

[grahamthacker]

An abstainer is nothing more than a coward.

[bridiesmith]

She is a coward. She was saving her place at the trough. She has no voice.

[lynnerowsell]

This woman said pensioners looked in ger face and asked her to protect them.... and then she abstained. She did it to protect her job, disgraceful

[cottington]

Rachel Marcellus should be ashamed for wanting to remain in such a vile party…..

[slinger]

She will have blood on her hands keeping her job income and her fuel allowance.

[GeorgeCoyle-yr]

What a load of crap this women is spouting, Labour vision is UK free of senior citizens

[jamesbainbridge]

Abstaining means you know its wrong but have no conviction as bad as voting for

[Alan-OnRunway]

Hypocrisy by all those New Labour MP who are failing to deliver the CHANGE to the benefit of the elderly instead of CHANGE for the worse.
Speaking up for the pensioners meant voting against your own government instead of fearing for your own position as a New Labour MP.

[barbaraaimson]

Thankyou for not letting her get away with her waffling bs.

[derekferguson]

Evil evil people from an evil evil political party. 😡

[kaygibson]

Then she should have voted against it not abstained!
