Thankyou those speaking for those like me, who are only slightly above eligibility for pension credit! The Labour Party is the NASTY Party! Not the Conservative Party! Starmer was lying before the Election, about caring about us pensioners, keeping warm in Winter!

There's a great article in the Guardian written by a sanctimonious hack, who is revelling in the pain that Reeves wants to inflict on the working class and pensioners. This champagne socialist, writes that this is the job that The Priestess of Doom has been waiting for all her life. I call it great because it shows how low that rag, the one that supported slavery and celebrated the assassination of Lincoln, will sink

OAP's UK🇬🇧 state pension is very very low, we are 15th in EU list....I wonder if Starmer could survive on this....Above us is, Luxembourg, Spain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Liechtenstein, Bosnia, Cyprus, France, Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway, Ukraine, United Kingdom......Why is UK🇬🇧 Pension so low.....😡

So they find this imaginary £22bn black hole and take away winter fuel allowance but they can find: £3bn for the Ukraine £11.6bn for African climate aid £8.6bn for GB Energy £10bn for public sector workers £100m for the train drivers (who are still planning strikes) But they cant find £1.6bn for the pensioners

Not a bit of wonder Labour are losing supporters by the bucket load.
