When the tories wanted to cut the winter fuel benefit so Labour commissioned a report that stated 4000 people will die? Tories did the right thing and dropped it. I even remember the tweet from Rachel reeves, stating how abhorrent it was that the tories wanted to get rid of it

Lmao all you left wing idiots voted for this. Blood on your hands.

Didn’t one of the no names Conservative candidates for leadership not espouse a similar idea but a few months ago. I wouldn’t compare what Labour have to do with what de Pfeffel did during the pandemic. I am sure you can remind us how many people lost their lives due to the failure and corruption of his administration.

No one knows the weather for this winter so every figure is pure conjecture but what de Pfeffel did is fact. I would say over the years the pensioners have been the biggest beneficiaries with the triple lock. I believe the next increase in the state pension exceeds the money lost for those who no longer will be eligible for the winter fuel allowance.
What about reinstating the fuel allowance for all but remove the triple lock ?

If the tories had removed the WFA we both know you'd have hauled them over the coals for it. WTF has Johnson got to do with it? Deflection and whataboutery of Olympic standard.

It’s fact over fiction, I was not the one who started the thread to try to make an unquantifiable political statement.
