Reeves with a grin on her face, you make sure you keep the migrants in warm homes and hotels whilst our pensioners freeze and starve to death this winter 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Why no windfall tax on the Supermarkets who have raked it in since the pandemic and cost of living crisis?

Why no return of the bankers bonus cap?

[hedgewytch]

If we can't afford it, we can't do it.

[calvinforsure]

I dont understand how two different parties can disagree on something that should be true or false.

[eloisemturner]

So those that moaned that Labour spent our money where are you?

[metalicminer]

Another ex Bank of England employee, Rachel Reeves.

[lindylou]

If only the British Government had had an opposition to stop it wasting money.
Oh

[steviebaby]

Count how many times she said previous government absolutely shocking

[mac-vlib]

How much on hotels and free cash and phones millions billions ??

[anatims]

How on earth does the public know what is true?

[derekwhyle]

Those pensioners paying higher rate tax would’ve been a fairer cutoff point for winter fuel allwce than those not entitled to benefits. She’s punished people on a£15k pension income.

[muratdagdelen]

"I'm afraid there is no money."

[paulgibbons]

That must be the 5% pay rise they gave themselves.

[MCHOKUM]

Betraying the english pensioner to pay for the great replacement. Sickening

[freyapc]

All the controversy about pensioners is a distraction because meanwhile, nothing is being about bankers' bonuses. The cap on bankers' bonuses has not been replaced, which puts everyone's savings at risk, not just pensioners' savings. Remember Northern Rock? And no one is demanding that MPs are means tested for their winter fuel payments for their second homes, I wonder why that is?

[craigwilson]

Rachel is doing a great job. Excellent levels of competence and shows how catastrophic the Tories have been for the UK over 14 years. They shouldn't be allowed anywhere near government

[jacobadams]

Slam dunk from Rachel Reeves, I'm impressed tbh

[paulrose]

Labour have already gone after pensioners

[chrissmith-wqgr]

How much does the House of Lords cost us each day?

[SillySatire]

So the conservatives have been massively overspending on public services which are now on the brink due to underspending. Now Labour will end this austerity and massively increase spending. 😮
