@@stevec6427 It’s because they weren’t given enough notice. It went from 60-65 then 66 rapidly. Some women retired in their late 50s with health issues etc, with company pension thinking the lump sum would last a couple of years till they get their state pension. Then it was implemented with speed, and the woman’s planning was now in a mess. They didn’t give people enough notice, that’s the issue.

Now they just need to get rid of Starmer. He has ruined the Labour Party and he will carry on destroying this once great country.

[@BladeRunnerC]

Surely The house of ‘Commons’ is now a contradiction in terms! How many of them live like commoners? Feel what it’s like to worry how they can pay even the most basic of bills, make the hardest of decisions like our pensioners this winter whether to pay for food or heating! Whilst they luxuriate with all the ‘BENEFITS’ they themselves receive…. It honestly makes me sick to my stomach!

Starmer ought to try living on a pension only. Two tier has a wage and an expense account, never mind freebies. I’m alright Jack Labour. Reform needed……

Vote Reform

Show me one single person who agrees pensioners should have their heating cut. What utter rubbish . Take it off the wealthiest and get them to donate all their freebies and donations to the poorest. Starmer is a psychopath.

According to Prolific London, Sir Keir has a net worth of around £7.7 million, however, they share it could rise to between £10m and £15m when “taking his other revenue streams into account and the land he has held since 1996. With all the millions that Keir Starmer has, why is he still taking personal donations and also forgetting to declare some of them properly? Absolutely disgusting
