“Ruthless… No Impact Assessment” | Keir Starmer Slammed For Winter Fuel Allowance Cuts

Public favourability for both Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves has fallen sharply, according to a poll.

As the Government faces criticism for withdrawing winter fuel payments from all but the poorest pensioners, research this month found 32% of people viewed the Prime Minister favourably, a six-percentage point drop since August.

Political commentator and journalist Robert Taylor joins Talk’s Ian Collins to discuss this further.

If these people worked in the private sector they would be unemployable . Every thing they are doing is grossly incompetent

[Coyb]

Why not just call him what he is, he's a liar.

[allanrobson]

The Labour Leader Liar, he makes Boris Johnson look like a Saint. I can not believe anyone could be so disliked in such a short space of time. Why has he so much hatred towards pensioners?

[ians]

Starmer is a deceitful PoS. An utter disgrace to the office of PM and he's got some recent competition on that

[Christine-ryqq]

I’ve just put my heating on, it’s bitter.
My thoughts immediately went to our elderly that can’t afford to do that. And then to all those Labour MP’s who cheered after winning the motion in the commons.
Look, this is absolutely reprehensible . Starmer should never be allowed to forget this.

[martinquinn-cu]

As Dante alighieri said the darkest places in hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in a time of moral crisis. This a national disgrace. I am so ashamed of the moral degradation of our government.

[jayneholland]

He is a, lying, spiteful, narcissistic dictator!🤦‍♀️

[FionaHedges]

Is there a way we, the public can push for an early election? We need to get rid of Labour quick

[angelalord-bj]

Tories may have considered it but did NOT take any action and maintained the Winter Fuel Payments. They were condemned for thinking about it whereas this man Starmer within a few weeks took away that Payment from pensioners at the very beginning of what is going to be a winter of discontent for those that survive the winter. I myself have savings to fall back on many are not so fortunate. This Labour is an utter disgrace and I cannot put into print what I think of Starmer, Reeves and now Lammy too who seems hell bent on war with Russia.

I have just passed age 85 and I would say "Why give Ed Miliband £11BILLION for "climate change??. Every year I have lived has always been the "four seasons". Granted, some winters have been harsh, just as some summers have been over warm !

[chris-vnsw]

Is there any legal precedent to have this liability removed from office. 🤔

[odin]

Make it safe to allow our children get out and play in total freedom or fear labour has just made streets more dangerous releasing criminals

[joefoster]

This excuse for a man isn't worth talking about, I don't talk to cowards nor do I trust them.

[jonathanhill]

Lying take away the winter fuel allowance £300 put in fuel up this year another £150 where do you think we’re going to get the money from? Starmer? We are old age pensioners we do not work anymore.

[HubbaHubba]

Have all the Labour voters gone home to their own Countries as i cannot find anyone who voted Labour or they don't want to admit they did

[andrewbaxter]

He simply said what people wanted to hear and the voters fell for it. Now it’s all forgotten.

[zingo]

starver should NOT be in politics, he is hopeless, stealing fromm the poor pensioners ...shame on him and his silly party

[jexxajess]

Says it all, a government to govern without any reference to impact or outcome.. What a joke

[markjackson]

Please add to this him saying we will windfall tax the energy companies on the disgusting profits they and their shareholders make!!

[Carebearbreeding]

There's never been a better time to revive the lampooning puppets of Spitting Image....
