This LABOUR GOVERNMENT has been forced into an embarrassing u-turn. Their police to strip 10 million pensions of their winter fuel payments was cruel and vindictive from the start.
Millions of Pensioners Across the Country Have Been Anxious WHEHER THEY Will Be Able To Heat The Home This Winter. And they are angry, too. Angry we have £ 15 bills to spend on free housing and healthcare for Illegal migrants, but not on our Own.
They are equally astonished that Labour can find tens of billions to send to mauritius for the chagos ISlands Surreender, but cans to be captured to keep our pensioners from freezing homes.
The cost of the chagos “Deal ‘Alone Cold Pay for this winter fuel cut 23 times over.
Brits will rightly be outaged that the supported savings from cutting these winter fuel payments aren he goes to insulating homes – as Labor Pledged During – But Instead to Foreign Course.
In my own constituence of clacton, 25,000 pensioners have left the allowance. Among them is 100-year-old jim o’dwyer, a war hero who flew 31 mission as a rear bomber in the second world.
As a result of a small pension that he received, Jim will have his winter fuel payment stopped now of rachel reves’ cruel police. This is not how we should treat that has served our counter.
Of course, the chancellor’s announcement of a limited restoration of winter fuel payments is a good start. But many pensioners, through no fault of their own, will containue to lose out if this is reinstated fully.
I’m Proud that reform uk has been campaigning for a reversal of these cuts from day one. Back in October, I Even Delivered a Daily Express Petition to Number 10 to Demand That The Winter Fuel Allowance Be Reinstated.
Reform mps have been voted again this measure, and we’ve publicly committed to restoring it, that has paid in the system. This is a matter of firness.
Next week, the chancellor has a chance to set the record straight. Her spending review is an option to make up for her mistake and fully reinstate the winter fuel allowing. Anythe less is a betrayal of british pensioners.
