Fix the energy companies and we wont need a winter fuel benefit. They should not be making billions in an energy ‘crisis ‘.

[MohammedArif-nm]

Let the power companies make billions in profit at the expense of the poor. Shame.

[PatTaylor-uk]

Stop MP's Winter Fuel Allowance too then. MP's are on enough to not need it. The MP's Gravy train needs to be stopped.

[Beefeater]

A man talking who will get £3, 000 to heat his second home, what a pillock.

[Billywizz]

Take a tough decision and tax the billionaires instead

[RoyMusic]

Suggestion
Cut all UK MP's future Pensions and cut their tax free pension allowances for all with Total Annual Earnings over £50, 000 - £75, 000 WES STREETING PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!

Take from the poor and give to the rich

[Jules-fxsc]

Just like the tories, this Labour govt is completely out of touch with the electorate

[colinnolan]

Funny how these "tough decisions" never seem to impact the lives of those making these decisions. 🤔

[C.kelp]

MPs still getting their winter fuel payments, on both homes and constituency offices? You betcha!

[simonstewart]

How about stopping all mps allowances instead

[SpitfireUK]

austerity two is a choice. the tories gave the rich £700 billion during covbid tax em and take it back

[darrenoldershaw]

no matter what government is in power its ALWAYS the public who pays for their mistakes.

[vincentmckenna]

But MPs can get it on their second homes

[karenclayton]

MPs will still get their fuel allowance, so we are not all in this together .

[cloviscameron]

why don't you just tell the people the truth?...just say that we need the winter fuel money to send to Ukraine and Israel.

[JM-xmhd]

He’ll carry on taking his 100k+ a year job and perks and not worry about any of it.

[laurastephens]

Yet they keep their heating allowance as high as 3 grand. Yep makes sense

[kevinrafferty]

Cut foreign aid put your country first!

[brigeen]

Don't give the king so much money and take a pay cut.
