  • I’m surprised about the hoohaa from many Labour quarters and the Guardian, about Starmers cut to universal winter fuel payment for pensioners.

    I’m reading very little in the narrative about the fact that most pensioners are actually pretty well off and frankly don’t need it. Are the politicians afraid to state the facts for fear of looking uncaring? Nearly a third of all pensioners are millionaires!

  • On holiday with daily mail/gb news reading in laws. Hot take is that pensioners are always the first to get money taken away from them and they’ll miss the £300 a year. And the lie that it’s to cover the blackholey in public finance is a cruel lie to let pensioners die because they don’t care.
