'REINSTATE IT NOW!' | Starmer slammed by union over winter fuel cut

Sir Keir Starmer was warned the row over winter fuel payment cuts is not going away as protesters descended on Labour's conference.

Dozens of Unite members staged a protest outside the conference centre in Liverpool as part of the union's campaign for a U-turn on the controversial policy.

Why don't the unions threaten to stop putting money into the Labour Party.

[michmunroe.]

We need to stop sending money overseas and look after our own 😡😡

[sbalmer]

Thank you to the Unions who are backing the pensioners

[paulross]

Good on the unions God bless you, from a 71 yr old pensioner in very bad health

[nosferatudavies]

I can’t recall a decision as bad as this being made by a sitting Government.Absolutely appalling.

[lesleyboshell]

The woman who has slashed the winter fuel allowance for the elderly, puts in her claim for expenses of £4, 000 for her own fuel allowance. How is that fair?

[jenniferhaldane]

Thank you unions for standing by pensioners. I know some are well off but 98% are not

[philipleonard]

I am a pensioner and T&G and Unite member for over 45 years and never thought a Labour government would be so vile and cruel as to mug the old and disabled. I am glad to see my old union is trying to make Starmer see sense

I was talking to elderly patients today and several said labour want us gone 😢😢 it was so upsetting to hear them feel like a burdon which they are not!!

[TheLidlClan]

I as a truck driver worked right through covid picking up food from farms and delivering to warehouses. Now a am a pensioner I am being stabbed in the back by Starmer and Labour, Starmer must go the sooner the better and take the Labour party with him.

[carlvaz]

This gentleman has spoken very sensibly. It is downright EVIL what this callus and unjust Labour Government have done to the pensioners with the removal of the universal Winter Fuel Payment. Just because pensioners are vulnerable, this bullying Labour Party is persecuting them.

[Dawn-hbpf]

Out of Starmers own mouth, TARGETING the winter fuel payment. You couldn't make this up. Our OAPs deserve better. This will NEVER go away, we will NEVER forget.

[KerryLloyd-rg]

We all need to rise up over this. It's outrageous!!

[pianoman]

Thanks all union who are trying to help .
I can’t stand even listening to starmers or Reeves and Rayner thier voices grate now

[drstrangelove]

It’s an utter disgrace, taking away the winter fuel allowance.

[Dawn-hbpf]

Good to see the unions are caring about our vulnerable elders. Bravo

[davidyare]

Starmer has put his foot on a landmine and he can keep it on or take it off and either action will blow his foot off. He is a nasty creature.

[Maya-wk]

Let's see the MPs face the difficulties as well, doubtless their next payrise will be inflation busting. They are despicable.

[TheChrisheath]

Not even 12 weeks in and even their own people are sick of them.
