But they will be dead by then no more winter fuel allowance no more paying them a pension ,they will save money next year from dead people but spend it all on and more on housing migrants and paying them to stay in hotel that good for the taxpayer as starmer said ,
If fuel payments have been cut for our most vulnerable, how come they havent been cut for our most wealthy. Dont MP,s still get fuel payments paid for even though they're on thousands upon thousands of pounds per year, tell me Wes, how is that fair?
they have not been cut for the most vunerable those who cant get state pension ie and get pension credit, those on pension credit get rent payed, council tax payed. pip, im on a state pension i dont need the winter allowance
He mentions a rise in the state pension. Yet it is still way below the minimum wage and still futher below what is deemed a living wage. Yet pensioner's are expected to survive on the 2nd lowest state pension across europe. Our cost of living is exactly the same as a working person
How is it Liebour can find unlimited millions & billions of pounds for green quangos, illegal immigration, foreign farmers, Syria etc, etc? Yet no Winter fuel allowance for pensioners & now no compensation for the Waspi women, notice a pattern here anybody?
Labour claims they will save £1.2 billion by stopping the winter fuel payment. They are encouraging pensioners who have not applied yet for pension credit to do so. This will allow them to be paid the winter money. If every pensioner who is eligible for pension credit, actually claimed, it would cost Labour £2 billion !
What a load of nonsense! Until the personal allowance limit of 1275 pa is not increased . The triple lock means nothing as whatever increase the pensioners get will get gobbled up by taxes.
Gaslighting Streeting, they never done a assessment, fuel bill have gone up by hundreds of pounds and the pension does not go up to next year. They chose to do this without knowledge, while sending billions abroad, they had choices, they chose to freeze the pensioners.
It's freezing now & precisely like the others in his party, he's still not listening. Oh well, it's his reputation & future prospects that are at stake. He made his choice.
Some people will be tucked up in warm hot hotel rooms not costing them a penny ,what they dont or dont want to understand is if you are one pound above the limit for pension credit you don5get it even thougb you are struggling. Just get back into the real world we are not all paid thousands in allowances like those that sit in parliament all day asleep
He's a clown, pensioners will be worse off throughout the coming winter period, as the up lift only comes into effect after winter.... What a bunch of idiots.....😮😮😮😮
NO THEY WONT I CAN MANAGE OK I PAY MY GAS BILL EVERY MONTH AND IT BUILDS UP CREDIT SO I DONT WORRY , IM A PENSIONER I WAS BORN 1958 I GET MY RENT PAYED BY UC I GET 888 POUND A MONTH THE ONLY THING I PAY IS COUNCIL TAX
There is always a middle ground of actual people affected by these rules. And in actual numbers, that means lives. When in a real world, one life lost is a problem
By not increasing personal allowance much of the the recent rise is being taken away by tax. Also energy prices have risen, the cost of living has risen so any increase in pensions has been wiped out.
What these idiots don't understand they'll be the next generation of pensioners ..... I would be very afraid if I were them because if current pensioner's are being screwed over so I hate what will happen to them.
Have they completed any cost implications of removing the WFA, especially at short notice? Pensioners had little time to budget and set aside money from their income. One pensioner admitted to hospital with community acquired pneumonia is likely to cost the NHS between £3,500 and £11,600, according to a paper available on PubMed Hospitalization costs of adult community-acquired pneumonia in England James Campling et al. J Med Econ. 2022 Jan-Dec.
Wes learnt his lines very well and didn’t deviate one tiny bit despite being the Health and Care Secretary. He has no opinion or even the intelligence to form one. Any pensioner deaths will be deemed to be Covid, Flu, respiratory disease etc. etc. Never being cold for prolonged periods and malnutrition. Evil man for going along with the charade.
Doesn't the triple lock just cover the rate of inflation? If so how will pensioners be any better off? Just asking for an old friend who would like to make it through the winter. 😊
the pension did not rise by an amount equal to that of the triple lock because 20% was lost due to no rise in the personal allowance. I personally, at 83years lost around £500 £300 fuel allowance plus the increase in fuel costs. labour uses a convenient calculator . Also the pension rise doesn't come into effect until April 2025 just in time for summer not winter.
Need to stop paying for hotels for illegal migrants who have not paid a penny in tax. Stop penalizing the British people two tier Starmer and the labour party.
They can never answer a question if a pensioner is on £221.20 can not get pension credit where do they get they dated from see if they can live on it with very high price that keeps going up ???
My grandparents never received a winter fuel allowance, nor did they have central heating for most of their lives yet they managed to survive without freezing to death. It's amazing what warm clothing & ingenuity can do.
Of course it's put in pressure in NHS the hospital wards are full of the elderly. Once they get a cold,flu etc sitting un a cold house/ flat does them no favours😢
don't confabulate the triple lock with the winter fuel payments, there will be many pensioners that will not live to enjoy the triple lock next April, they need that money now to avoid the hospitals filling up with dying 65's plus.
Some of these idiots do not live in the real world. But i expect that the immigrants in hostels and private houses paid for by the taxpayers will be warm this winter
Government has. an obligation to risk assess the impact of any policy proposal. The briefing documents require it. Since he would not confirm/answer the question we c an only reasonably conclude that it IS true that the policy has not been risk assessed and must be considered reckless.
A Tory Party political broadcast funded by Rupert Murdoch. Those non poor pensioners don’t need the allowance and won’t get it, and those poor pensioners will get it. What is the problem.
What is he talking about the state pension doesn't rise until April,the worst of the winter is over by then
May
You receive the increase in May 🤫
I GET MY STATE PENSION AND CAN MANAGE OK THIS IS RUBBISH TO MAKE LABOUR LOOK BAD WE MANAGED BEFORE IT WE WILL MANAGE NOW
Still the winter will over then bit late for the freezing cold pensioner who has been choosing between heat or food all winter
But they will be dead by then no more winter fuel allowance no more paying them a pension ,they will save money next year from dead people but spend it all on and more on housing migrants and paying them to stay in hotel that good for the taxpayer as starmer said ,
it will raise by less than £8 a week thry pay more for their coffees in a day
Another politician who can't answer a simple question.
He's a bit thick !!!
Saying pensioners are better off this winter because they’re getting a pension increase next April is clearly untrue.
This guy is clearly out of his depth.
The whole Goverment is
Never answer a direct question, not any of them.
Worst pension in Europe
If fuel payments have been cut for our most vulnerable, how come they havent been cut for our most wealthy.
Dont MP,s still get fuel payments paid for even though they're on thousands upon thousands of pounds per year, tell me Wes, how is that fair?

@@kdeeukI don't know how you cope unless you got a lot of savings
@@kdeeukyet be mere pence over the threshold and you are no longer vulnerable !
So the previous claim of 4000 deaths was another untruth.
They were hammering the Tories then
He mentions a rise in the state pension.
Yet it is still way below the minimum wage and still futher below what is deemed a living wage.

Our cost of living is exactly the same as a working person
Let's take mp fuel payments it'll save billions!!!!!
💯
The Tories maintained the triple lock and didn't remove the WFA.
They lie so easily !!!
Lies! Bull! Waffle! Typical Labour responses. They are finished. We have had enough of the bed wetters.
Does he really think that constantly repeating himself without answering the question is remotely acceptable.
NO its not rising till april its winter now disgusting alot of pensioners are just above the threshold for pension credits so wont get a penny
Yup, you’ve got it. If your grandparents need help, you’ll help won’t you.
They're the new vulnerable !
How is it Liebour can find unlimited millions & billions of pounds for green quangos, illegal immigration, foreign farmers, Syria etc, etc? Yet no Winter fuel allowance for pensioners & now no compensation for the Waspi women, notice a pattern here anybody?

Gas and electic have gone up you can get a smart meter it wont make any difference if its really cold

Answer the bloody question you were asked!
It's freezing now & precisely like the others in his party, he's still not listening. Oh well, it's his reputation & future prospects that are at stake. He made his choice.
He ain't got a clue
They are all clueless !
NHS overwhelmed wonder why
i will tell you why years of underfunding from the tories
9 million extra people in the country. 25,000 since this lot came in. @@kdeeuk
Dictators are always overthown.
Party first, country a far second. Does the Chancellor have these ministers wired up to jolt any time they criticise her budget.
Wake up! He doesn't even believe what he is saying
We’ll have this conversation again after new year and see how they stand then shall we?? Disgraceful behaviour
OK. We will hold you to that then.
How can you be better off if you’ve taken money away from you? 🏴
i tell you how stop going down the pub, and bingo every Thursday night and wasteing cash on holidays abroad, i get my pension and manage ok
How do you know what this person does with their money?
@@kdeeukdon't presume.
Some people will be tucked up in warm hot hotel rooms not costing them a penny ,what they dont or dont want to understand is if you are one pound above the limit for pension credit you don5get it even thougb you are struggling.
Just get back into the real world we are not all paid thousands in allowances like those that sit in parliament all day asleep
Will he put his job on line if it's proven that a pensioner has died due to this government policy
He's a clown, pensioners will be worse off throughout the coming winter period, as the up lift only comes into effect after winter.... What a bunch of idiots.....😮😮😮😮
NO THEY WONT I CAN MANAGE OK I PAY MY GAS BILL EVERY MONTH AND IT BUILDS UP CREDIT SO I DONT WORRY , IM A PENSIONER I WAS BORN 1958 I GET MY RENT PAYED BY UC I GET 888 POUND A MONTH THE ONLY THING I PAY IS COUNCIL TAX
@@kdeeukthat's you isn't it ? Most don't get their rent paid for them, that's a huge dent in a pension
There is always a middle ground of actual people affected by these rules.
And in actual numbers, that means lives.
When in a real world, one life lost is a problem
Not a bloody clue! I thought it was only PMs questions that ministers didn’t answer questions!
just say to him I wont stop asking you this question till you answer it.
How can they do this disgusting if only the shoe was on the other foot ,
robot answers nothing new but nothing which is in any way honest ,by avoiding the answer they give the answer.
We should be in uprage whats wrong with us where have we gone ???
By not increasing personal allowance much of the the recent rise is being taken away by tax. Also energy prices have risen, the cost of living has risen so any increase in pensions has been wiped out.
No one has mentioned the fact that Chronic Pain is also much worse during cold weather! This is all a political choice.
What these idiots don't understand they'll be the next generation of pensioners ..... I would be very afraid if I were them because if current pensioner's are being screwed over so I hate what will happen to them.
Why can rich people not help the pensioners who may freeze to death this winter, show some compassion to them
As many grey brain cells as Millibrain.
Ffs do they live on the same planet,they haven’t even got a clue
Do all politicians just talk utter crap! it certainly looks like it!
Triple lock has no bearing on what happens this winter
What a load of bs he is talking

Labour are finished before they even got started. Vote RefomUK at every opportunity
Labour are out of their DEPTH 🤬
By april 2025 i will be £995 less on my state pension £300 winter fuel payment and 695 tax on my state pension
State pension not rising till after the winter!
Doesn't the triple lock just cover the rate of inflation?

Its ok for you you get your winter bill payed its a disgrace

The BELLS GONE ENOUGH SAID 😢😢😢
An inflation award is not an increase, why isn't this double-glazing salesman ever challenged on this?
So was that a yes or a no?
They can never answer a question if a pensioner is on £221.20 can not get pension credit where do they get they dated from see if they can live on it with very high price that keeps going up ???
Who's the guy behind smirking through a serious topic
Slimey piece of work that one.
Ask WES what’s he going to do about all the dead pensioner’s
Yes of no!
Was the question answered? No
He doesn't really believe what he's saying
What about the tax pensioners will now have to pay come April ? Why is no one asking him the
If on new pension rate, as I am the increase will not take you over the tax threshold, next year at least.
Where do these people
come from He so out of
his depth
My grandparents never received a winter fuel allowance, nor did they have central heating for most of their lives yet they managed to survive without freezing to death. It's amazing what warm clothing & ingenuity can do.
Unfortunately if you do want to heat your home the cost is extortionate.
A lot more than illegal immigrants in our hotels
Of course it's put in pressure in NHS the hospital wards are full of the elderly. Once they get a cold,flu etc sitting un a cold house/ flat does them no favours😢
You can tell he’s lying .. his lips moved 😡
He has got a clue he is talking utter garbage like is leader starma
He is toeing the party line
And he seems, like all of them, without conscience. All that seems to matter to these repulsive minions is their ambition.
he's lying 🤥
He looks very uncomfortable.
Pathetic
Hasn't a clue what he's talking about
Pressure on tax payers for wasps women but no pressies for taxpayers for hotel bills says it Alltel tier or not I ask.
100% word soup!
I dont care no more,People got what they voted for.....again,Go vote for more clowns and let in more immigrants 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 thats all I can say
Looking concerned. Slicey hand gesture. Repeat word salad bovine excrement.
Er , um, huh, er, dont know, im going red in the face! Dont keep asking me!
Says the same thing over and over again. Another non-answer Liebour automaton.
Let me answer the question I wanted you to ask.
Unpopular decision or fatal
They called these "difficult decisions". For whom? Not them that's certain.
don't confabulate the triple lock with the winter fuel payments, there will be many pensioners that will not live to enjoy the triple lock next April, they need that money now to avoid the hospitals filling up with dying 65's plus.
Absolutely disgusting
Some of these idiots do not live in the real world. But i expect that the immigrants in hostels and private houses paid for by the taxpayers will be warm this winter
I can stand by very strongly,WTF does that mean?,we have a …rather low level government.
Government has. an obligation to risk assess the impact of any policy proposal. The briefing documents require it. Since he would not confirm/answer the question we c an only reasonably conclude that it IS true that the policy has not been risk assessed and must be considered reckless.
He’s confusing the triple lock with the fuel allowance.
Total Rubbish.
Thank goodness keir will be knocking off £400 from our gas bills soon, as promised.
he really doesnt believe what he is saying
What would the extra cost on the N.H.S. be.
What a load of waffle from Wes Streeting.
A Tory Party political broadcast funded by Rupert Murdoch. Those non poor pensioners don’t need the allowance and won’t get it, and those poor pensioners will get it. What is the problem.
