'People Are Very Angry!' | Mike Graham Reacts To Labour's Cuts To Pensioner Benefits

Public sector workers are in line for a pay rise but 10 million pensioners will lose out on winter fuel payments in an attempt to fill a £22 billion black hole in the public finances, the Chancellor has announced.

Rachel Reeves said she was making “difficult decisions” as she accused the previous government of leaving £21.9 billion of unfunded commitments that it had “covered up from the country”.

In a statement to Parliament, she set out “immediate action” to address the shortfall by £5.5 billion, with the rest of the gap to be addressed at a Budget on October 30.

Mike says: "Labour is all about punishing pensioners"

Who ever voted for Labour voted for this, well done you must feel very proud of yourselves

[tonywesley]

The next thing the mps will award themselves a pay rise

[anthonyhull]

Punish pensioners who have worked and saved all their lives but still subsidise the pensioners that have never worked ! Why do we bother working at all? The working man is a sucker !!

[demonhalo]

No money in the kitty as its all been given away to pay for unwanted immigrants.

[ryanmcmahon]

UK'S PENSION IS THE LOWEST IN EUROPE

[johncatto]

We pensioners have paid into the system for a minimum of 30 yrs to get our pensions, what have the illegals ever given to this country ? This chancellor is an utter disgrace.

[kathleendoyle]

Stop paying for illegal immigrants and look after the pensioners

[johnj]

Can this awful woman be fired? She has zero empathy with the retired members of the British public. Parliament should have the power to refuse to let this raid on the vulnerable proceed.

[joanrodger]

Punish pensioners but they give money to the illegal immigrants who do not deserve any help.

[royhill]

Punishing pensioners whilst rewarding invaders, you cannot make this up

[susanlane]

People can't complain if the voted for Labour, you got what you voted for, bloody no

[Johnburggy]

While there are many Pensioners who wealthy . This evil lot are punishing those of us just over the pension credit limit. It is those of us who will be really hurt . If your on Pension credit you get other benefits but those just over do not & most of us have worked our whole lives. We are not asking for handouts but heating is important to us & many of us have had to go without even with the winter fuel allowance. WE KNOW HOW MUCH THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT HATES PENSIONERS .

[RobertShaw-lm]

Why are the Government punishing pensioners and the disabled. They are an easy target for Labour. Absolutely shocking.

[richardhonour]

When you get to 70, you become invisible, no shadow do you cast.

[imbonkers]

The biggest punishment for us all will be green taxes on everything 😢

[alecmartin]

Utter disgrace, punish the OAP's to fund Illegal Immigrants that should not even be here !!

[thomasoconnor]

Disappointing decision taking the winter allowance from pensioners to give to illegal immigrants

[trucker]

I detest this liebour goverment, going after pensioners, but still giving billions in foreign aid, and up to 13 billion pounds looking after these illegal migrants, which proves where thier loyalty lies, they are more concerned about outsiders than the indigenous people of this country.

[rajeshpedilloyd]

Why the pensioners have to pay for the asylum ? No respect for the pensioners who have worked hard .

Crippling Pensioners With Eliminating Winter Fuel Allowance While Paying Billions For Ukraine War Is Very Shameful.
