“Cruel, Ruthless, Stupid!” Starmer Firm On Winter Fuel Payment Cuts Amid Potential Commons Revolt

Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by former political editor at The Sun, Trevor Kavanagh, to discuss mounting pressure for the Government to U-turn on means testing winter fuel payments.
Under the plans announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in July, winter fuel payments will be restricted to those receiving pension credit, meaning around 10 million pensioners will lose out this winter.
Sir Keir Starmer could face a rebellion from within his party when the Commons votes on Tuesday.
Trevor says “a lot of Labour MPs are horrified” by the plans, thinking it’s an “act of betrayal” to pensioners.

Who, in their right mind would want this, seriously, and let's have a think about who it benefits most 🤔

[@lothos-tu4uh]

if the Labour party's main voting base is the 'working class', just how many working class people are there compared to 20 years ago? ...what about 50 years ago? ...i suggest that the Labour party (similar to the Democrat party in the USA) work to keep the 'working class' poor and under-educated in order so that they keep voting for them...

[@r_shan2506]

He hasn’t even given them a whole summer to prepare for these bills. It’s so cruel but I know they are after the houses gained from the elderly passing away from the cold. It’s cruel and disgusting and the whole government need to be removed. The MPs should lose their perks first before the most vulnerable.

The lowest pension and the highest fuel costs in Europe, what could possibly go wrong.

[@billyboytaylor28]

I thought MPs were elected to speak for the people who voted for them. How many MPs asked their constituants should they vote for or against the winter fuel allowance.

[@torikeen5630]

The final nail for the NHS. It doesn't cope on a normal winter, let alone when it has to find a bed for hypothermic elders. The insanity is it would have been supported by most people if it was realistic removed from those pensioners that have an above average pension income. There is a million miles between those a few quid above state pension and those 30k+

It's been most of my 60yrs on earth that british charities have been collecting for clean water for various counties...apparently in 50yrs...it's still a massive issue. Whilst Nestlé owns huge water sources and control over it and then you've got gates buying up massive agricultural lands for his gmo slop he's peddling to the world. This earth and it's resources belong to everyone living here....nobody should ever be able to own earth's water or earth's lands on monopoly levels....dangerous and destructive to humanity

​@@Blackwampyr the days of labour being for the working class are long gone, i live in a strong labour area that have been getting in every time for well over 60 year that i know of, some people just vote labour through tradition, cos their parents did etc, my parents & grandparents all voted labour, but i,m 100% certain that if they were here today they.d be all voting the same as me , which is reform uk, cos they are the only party that are for the british people,

If all 800,000 pensioners eligible for pension credit claim it will cost them a damn site more than what they'll save. Just stop giving migrants benefits who have never contributed and keeping immigrants in hotels etc. Net Zero is IMPOSSIBLE by 2030, I have worked in the energy sector for 20+ yrs and we don't have the technology nor infrastructure and won't for decades if ever. The climate in the UK isn't consistent enough and we will always need a back up plan, of either fossil fuels or nuclear, or face rolling blackouts, energy rationing, and a regressive economy where we leave the G7 and slip ever backwards.
