If finances were genuinely so desperate, then foreign aid should be stopped, in order to look after the senior citizens of this nation, because they've both done their bit and paid into the system. The Chinese female theatre group who are receiving a foreign aid payment, haven't paid a penny into the UK's coffers. Any government has a moral duty to look after it's own citizens, sod Chinese theatre groups, or spending £60k of taxpayer's money on private photographers just to make a certain person "look" better.

No defender of MP's but their pensions work like any other they will get 1/40, 1/50 or 1/60 of their annual salary for every year of service dependent on their contribution rate. The £150,000 figure is just made up and an MP on a salary of £91,000 at a 1/50th rate of contribution for 30 years employment would be get a nice pension of around £55,000 same as any public sector worker. I am one of them cruel people who thinks means testing the fuel allowance is obviously the right idea. But fail to understand why for the life of me they didn't delay this for a year when the pension increase happens (negating the loss) and giving the time required to at least get a high number of eligible people onto credit. My father who is now passed had a pension of around £30k plus my Mum around £7k and both full state pensions. They gave their allowance to the Trussell Trust for people who really need it. Absolute insanity that a 5th of pensioners are millionaires (assets included which doesn't mean cash rich) get £300 under the current system whilst the poorest group in society families (used to be pensioners pre Blair who lifted pensioners massively) get 0 fuel help. So the policy is not in essence 'cruel', but fair although some will fall through the net. What is cruel is bringing it in so quickly and crudely. On a side note the treasury looked at this under the Tories and it was leaked that they didn't go ahead, not because it was cruel but politically toxic as it's their demographic who would suffer exactly the same as the release of prisoners, when most pensioners are very 'tough on crime' in outlook (an ideology that hasn't worked). Labour must believe that this is the right thing to do, as it certainly ain't popular and think they have calculated, that if things get better in the country it will be forgotten by the time of the next election, a risky move, as certain we will see headlines this winter of some poor old man or woman who has died of hypothermia, images that will stick like Bojo partying whilst the Queen sits alone at her husbands funeral and are not easily forgotten. So after that waffle, I am not against the policy but the disgraceful swift implementation that gives no time for people to adjust, they say admitting mistakes in politics is suicide but most,even those who are ardently anti-Labour would respect the government if they said 'we have listened and will delay this until next year when the triple lock kicks in and we have time to get as many as we can on pension credit'. The other irony is if all eligible claimed pension credit it would wipe out any savings from the removal and could actually cost more.

Labour already knew when they did the calculations that most will not claim it because these poorest pensioners won't know they no longer receive it, or won't be able to access the forms online or get through on the phone due to a lack of civil service staff in their call centres as many of these pensioners are extremely old, infirm, don't use the internet and rely on others to care for them, including their loved ones. It's an absolute shameless raid on some of our most vulnerable people, but Labour need to free up some social housing for those that need it, don't they?

Me and my husband have worked all our lives and have never claimed a single benefit. This morning we received a letter telling us that we will not be receiving the winter fuel allowance. I wonder how much money it cost them to sent out letters to every household.

Us two too, talk about a smack in the face eh? All MP's get a General Election bonus of £30,000. £30,000x650 MP's will cost the British taxpayers £19,500,000 so should help keep MP's warm this winter eh?

Martin Lewis was getting genuinely annoyed there. It'll make no difference. This lot are determined to do it their (the wrong) way, no matter what... I find myself wondering if they *really* expect people to vote for them again, on the basis of what they've done so far?

Thank you Martin for advocating for pensioners! Don’t forget a lot of pensioners are too proud to apply for extra pension credit. At the end of the day Labour Party this was a DISGUSTING thing to do and we will not forget. Please stop blaming the previous government and the mythical black hole !!! It was not a difficult decision to make you’ll all be sitting comfortably in your heated homes this winter AND you all claim for your energy bills.

And as a result of the tories raising the pension age from 65 to 67 all us workers will loose £20K plus in pension payments and potentially have to work longer too. Makes loss of winter payment look like peanuts in comparison.
