- The government is expected to push ahead with further controversial spending and tax decisions after winning a Commons vote to remove the winter fuel allowance from all but the poorest pensioners in England and Wales.
Meanwhile, the controversial early release of prisoners to ease overcrowding in jails is continuing, despite widespread criticism.

I’m so glad I never voted for this lot
Me too, but we still have ended with them. I cannot wait for next election
where did it get you
@@sachin2308 ???
@@traceyrhoden9808 Whoever gets in next will start exactly the way Starmer has done and we will go into year 20 of austerity. Which started with Cameron blaming the previous govt. It is now how the UK is.
So am I..
This program has no credibility, they have an ex Labour MP and husband of the Home Secretary who is supposed to question Labour MPs.
Watching him interview his wife was probably the most cringing thing I’ve ever seen yet GMB keep him on, he was useless as an MP and he’s useless as a TV interviewer, get rid of him.
The 52 MPs who didn’t turn up are cowards, no conviction. The MPs work for us not the Labour Party.
100% this programme needs to go 😡😡😡😡😡
The savings are easy. STOP THE F*CKING BOATS £64M A WEEK SPENT ON THEM
Exactly
Just find something else to waste it on.
Triple that number and you will be close.
Then consider that is the raw upfront cost of taking care of them, that doesnt include the other costs related to stretched services that occur as a result of the extra people.
We're also borrowing a lot of money, so theres the interest on that too.
Exactly, all they are saving is 1.5 billion with the fuel allowance cut, it wouldn’t take long to get that at 64 million a week.
👍👏👏👏
How can Libour give away 30 billion and say there is a 20 Billion black hole, Not only did Gordon Brown put us in the poverty trap by taking 120 billion from private pensions, but now the Liber party is taking another big chunk from our petitions, they think that can rob the old people and that will not notice. My pittance of a private pension has put me in poverty and I have to pay £2 a month tax on it.
It isn't and never was part of pensions. Pensions continue to increase above inflation again and again and again. Unlike most peoples wages.
Yes you are right but we get less than the minimum wage
Also don't forget the justice minister, brought in prison sentences with no end date. There are 3000 prisoners from Labours time who only were imprisoned for theft who are still in prison!
@@dddddbbb Yes Mr sroog
Matthew Pennycook has a visual resemblance to Reinhard Heydrich of 1940s Germany.
Oh FFS! Will Labour just shut up about the 22 billion black hole!! WE GET IT!!! Arghhhh!! 😤 😡
The 22 billion black hole is just a lie. The propaganda minister in Hitlers govt famously said if you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth. This is precisely what this is.
probably not......
Will someone explain how this 22billion came from?
he couldnt change subject quick enough and he and his mates are not giving up their allowances of thousands for second homes
They saved £1.2 billion by cutting off our heating allowance. Then gave Zelensky £600 million and Tata Steel £500 million. I'm 77 living alone on a single woman's pension and I'm fkn raging!!!!! 😖😖😖
So true, it really is Discusting, so many places that they could have got the money from, stop sending money abroad if the situation is that bad, stop immigration, there l've done it for them.
Oh god!! Labour have said “22 billion black hole” 22 billion times!!! Arghhh!! 😤
@@baconrasher6650
This new mantra is a disgrace because Labour had access to all government books and knew the state of the nation's finances. They knew what they were going to do (money for unions, Ukraine, net zero, foreign aid) and were confident that the media was not going to scrutinise them before or after the election.
There is NO 22 billion black hole all lies lies and moire lies.
When will Labour take responsability for there own actions your not in opposition now you are accountable
@@keithkennedy411
That is what Keir Starmer repeatedly said to Boris Johnson when contending about Partygate.
And some of that "22 billion" was down to Labour when they were last in.😮
@@fabiennemitchell2371yeah while they were doing the same thing. 😮
Cut winter fuel payments, but quick enough giving immigrants houses and benefits. They won't realise until loads of pensioners end up in hospital and then they will be moaning that the nhs can't cope.
Just given Ukraine 600 millon l
Thought we didn't have any money to pay OAP winter fuel
allowance.
I'm tired of them blaming the previous government. We don't need a blame game, we need solutions.
I don’t understand why the labour government is blaming the past government as they don’t want to take the blame
A new government gets a year or two in which they can blame everything on their predecessor, as many actions have delayed consequences. It's easy to spend on credit and let someone else pick up the bill later.
Stop MPS fuel allowance,it’s not fair as MPs get freebies n a large wage. Nobody mention that. Luckily them having 2 homes, n get fuel allowance.disgraceful, when the government takes from the poor pensioners. Shame on this evil government.
Pensioners aren't poor. Once housing costs are accounted for, the average pensioner is 5% better off than the average working-age person.
@@20quid You are all heart -and wrong! Might I remind you that pensioners have paid taxes of various kinds and all the things that you presently pay for -and saved what they could -for the future. The "average pensioner" has well paid their way throughout their entire long working lives!
Chancellor earning 1/2 million she claimed £2800 for second home
We have payed our taxes all our life’s my husband fought for his country and was still paying taxes until he passed away So don’t be telling us we haven’t payed we have 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
but pensioners can’t earn more income, workers can!
It has just been announced that the UK government has pledged 6 hundred million pounds to Ukraine in support of the war. So now you know where the winter fuel allowance is going 😢
It’s going on pay rises for junior doctors.
@@taffyterrier yep junior doctors in ukrain spot on
Why should the poorer pensioners suffer because the pensioners that are wealthy don't need it. Tax the rich and you'll solve these problems. Man up to the rich who hide their money in off shore accounts. They can well afford it.
Said like a true socialist. Rob selective Peter to pay for collective Paul
Exactly, they are all a bunch of fraudsters, all they (government) does, take, take, take. Streamline the government, that would save a shed load, and stop all their allowances.
Tell me lies...tell me sweet little lies....
It didn't sound like a 'heavy heart' when they all disgustingly cheered the result!
I am sick listening to this 22 billion black hole . Why was the first cut to make the WFP not less luxuries for the illegal immigrants.
Don’t understand why no one in the msm has asked labour to substantiate this £22m black hole
They don’t get luxuries.. those in b&bs get £49 pw..£7 a day..those in full board hotels get £8 pw.. 🤔🤔🤔😎
@@briankerrison8504 free housing, free phones, free clothing, free meals, etc, and they get to see a doctor or dentist whenever they want. Fecking hard life eh?
@@briankerrison8504you r the rot in our society
The first thi5they did what send 20b to ucrania
Free heating and eating for the people in hotels.
But if you are a pensioner.
You can go freeze and use food banks 👍
These Labour politicians really need to CHANG THE RECORD. 22 biilion black hole line. They were happy to give well paid train drivers a massive pay rise to keep their Union paymasters happy. It's a pretty sick state of affairs. Just wait when people start dying and or land up in hospital with hypothermia.
I wouldn't want to be a labour politician right now.
How long are they going to harp on about this black hole I say for the next 5 years
The Conservatives harped on about it for a full 14 years.
Did they really tho. Or did you just make that up.
£ 400 pound pension increase, less heating allowance, less the increase on tax , doesn’t leave much
And the pension increase comes after the winter, when for some sadly, will be too late.
They have no shame.
I think it was quite telling that some Labour MPs were actually cheering when they won the vote in parliament to stop the winter fuel allowance.
Public vote to get rid of MP fuel payments on second homes.
Let them get a large house in London and house share like others do who work in London
Ask the guy if his winter allowance is being axed.
It won't because they rename it as expenses.
Well done Labour. You are now responsible for your decisions
@@davidharwood9552
Your statement is ironic, for that is what Keir Starmer repeatedly said to Boris Johnson when contending about Partygate.
@@fabiennemitchell2371 well ironic. I’m 70 some of my elderly friends are proud. They will not ask for handouts. They will not turn on the electric as again they had been taught and believe bills were their responsibility. Maybe 🤔 when we were paying our dues which contributed to the elderly we should have had an uncaring Labour government. I’m sure Harold Wilson would be turning in his grave
I am sick of hearing about the 22 billion deficit as an excuse for the removal of WFP.
Shame on labour.
Yettee Cooper, your wife Ed will get £4000 for her 2nd home. I am sure
your wife is sooo happy.
I don't know why he's on the program?
A spy in the camp
Labour needs to go,
To make such a decision shows they are unstable
This government is really scary😮 I don’t think anyone will vote for this guy again
The Evil Party
Yeah, they are. They've made a cynical calculation knowing that a lot of pensioners will not apply for the pension credit out of either being confused by the process or out of pride and not wanting to claim anything on the state, because if all the pensioners that were eligible for the credit applied it would be more expensive than the winter fuel allowance.
What a robotic creep this MP is. I hope all those who voted for this lot are feeling ashamed today.
Well said Jean, is this guy real or Ai??
Rachel thieves is the same a monotonous robotic nasal drone,
They won’t
Pennycook....carefully rehearsed lies...
So you didnt want to cut pensioners but your paying for migrants ??
He sounds heartless to me. Heavy heart my backside.
Keep blaming previous government is not helping pensioners. They had a choice and they made it loud and clear. Shame on the lot of them.
Ask him if he has been knocking on pensioners doors himself and why do MPs get over 3,thousand for their heating
They are like a broken record they say the same thing over and over
They want to blame everything on black hole, but have got money to pay for the big pay rises. No thought for our pensioners well being
Why haven’t they cut their own payment for winter fuel
Will Starzie grow a spine, show some real leadership, and block MP's from claiming their fuel on expenses ???? It's not just working folk that need to tighten up their belts
Let's get it right it wasn't 22 billion black hole the pay rises for all the public sectors contributed to the 22billion black hole
That black hole claim is wearing thin already
Did they even prove there was a a black hole?
@@Silver-t6o No.
Ed did you tell your wife ? You explained very well on this program.. shame on her
Why do
M.P.S.
get off with paying nothing g and clami g second houses winter bills .
Because they can , and it's not just three hundred they receive it is three thousand eight hundred ,look it up .
Because it's "Do as I say, not as I do" in their world.
Blame the previous government. Cutting Pensioners heating cost , absolutely disgusting.
Labour have done this, no one else. There were other avenues open to them to raise cash, such as foregoing all the lovely benefits they have granted to themselves!
9Billionfor doctors and train drivers, but make a old dear pay it
This guy is typical of Starmers uncaring minions. You have to have a heart in the first place to take the decision with a heavy heart. Can't wait for the Budget 🙄
What a creep
they did not have to do it lets cut mp's pay by £4000 and see how they like it ( they would complain about that i bet
Who's pulling the strings on this guy
Change the record labour. Pensioner cruelty is on your heads.
Prison places would be available if you wernt jailing PATRIOTS WITH A RIGHT TO SPEAK
Ever get that feeling you've been cheated?😮
Labour have not got a clue. I am discusted!! I knew they would be bad, but this is a disaster.
I am now sick of hearing that 22 billion black hole,whilst finding money for migrants and money fo the ukraine war that should never have taken place.funny that isn't it.And to add the cherry on the top is pay rises.
And it will never be reinstated pensioners worked for 40 to 50 years paying each week it's not charity as invested our money and the government have mishandled it by using it for other things don't make it sound like a handout
If a released prisoner harms a member of the public will the ministers be held responsible or will they just say it was regrettable
Love Suzanne she won’t jet them get away with not answering!!! 👏👏😂
All ministers say the same things, what starmer says go's, with a heavy heart, my what treacherous liars.☢️☣️💀💀💀👿😡👎👎👎
The same old old argument - it's the previous government's fault we have to make cuts!! Get on with governing, labour left a massive debt when the conservatives came into power 14 years ago. Lame excuses at best!!
We know the names of those who abstained. They will be looking for new jobs come the next G/E
Labour makes me physically sick
Cut the foreign aid budget
But, of course, they dish out huge pay rises to over-paid train drivers.
They're not overpaid. Everyone else is underpaid.
@@josephdebri8941 Especially pensioners, after paying tax all through their working lives!
Lies
Has government put extra resources into the NHS this winter to deal with hypothermic pensioners?
22 billion Blackmore, the previous government let a mess behind them.every Labour mp comes out with the same spiel instead of answering questions
Heres an idea..... there is no 20b blackhole. Its just an excuse created by Labour MP's.
This MP says the triple lock will give pensioners £1,700 over the next five years....They are taking £300 a year from them which will, over 5 years, total £1,500. That means pensioners will be only £200 better off over 5 years! The energy bills are going up by at least that much alone this year. Where is the logic?
He’s ok he’s still got his thousands of pounds for his fuel allowance.
If they deported the foreign criminals that would free up places in the jails
9 billion of the 22billion is rises in wages that LABOUR have granted.
All the pensioners should whack their heating on and not pay the bills. Better to be alive and in debt than dead. Energy firms can be bailed out by the government if needs be. They bail everyone else out.
All those who voted Labour in July need to make sure you remember this choice of Starmer's in 5 years time and next time vote elsewhere.
Black Hole??? why take it from pensioners!!
2% tax rise for the very rich, or even 1% would bring in more!
If the inevitable happens and there is a huge rise in elderly hypothermia fatalities, Labour will simply write them off as collateral damage and a mere statistic. They'll have it that it's not their responsibility and not their pain to feel. Their parents will be ok, they have high earning sons and daughters.
Two cheeks of the same r's
An unnecessary political decision. Labour could have recouped money from wealthy pensioners in other different ways. Labour chose to give rail drivers pay rises, give money to Ukraine and money for climate change instead.
How much do labour MPs claim on tax payers funded expenses for heating in their second homes? Please tell.
Red nose day. No. let have Help the age day UK people and other s UK need s help with winter fuel
God help us all when the Budget arrives. This is the tip of the iceberg. Many of us have spent our whole lives living in some form of austerity or other and there’s no end in sight.
Cut the MPS money allowances and all other buggersonPolitical gravy train 🎉
They haven't any conscious these politicians. So long their well off stuff everyone else.. They make my blood boil.
Hope all of you that voted labour are very proud of yourselves.
I didn't vote Labour but I'm glad someone is finally stopping the gravy train and addressing the fact that the boomers stole their children's financial futures.
Oh sorry, since when did the tories ever do a better job..... Oh that's right, they partied whilst people were dying.........
But they didn’t take their WFA.!
And they tried their best, I wonder what labour would have done… Nothing! They would have said “ oh well there’s nothing they can do, the population is too high it needed to happen to help finance the country!!”
You could deal with it by taxing the wealthy and rich people.
That would be pensioners. Over 55's make up a third of the adult population yet own two-thirds of the country's wealth.
@@20quid I can hardly wait until you are on a pension and then you will see just how "wealthy" pensioners are!
That would be all the mps plus most of the house of Lords so it isn't going to happen
To whomever voted labour well done.
People voted Labour into power with the expectation of better economic management, so it's not productive to blame the Tories now. Can the minister clarify why this government is allocating £11 billion in aid to countries that have larger and more prosperous economies, and why there is an intention to increase the salaries of those already earning £60,000 or more?
I did say before the siht hits the fan, my family friends, and I did not vote for labour.
Labour OUT SERIOUSLY OUT
Chancellor ! £3700 per year heating allowance. £18500 To date whilst the elderly contemplate freezing this winter 😡😡
Give it a rest! Sick of hearing about that 22m black hole! Start telling the truth for once in your life 🤬🤬🤬
wonder how stuttering Ed feels looking across the breakfast table at his evil wife.
Oh they make my blood boil, they spend millions a day on rubber dinghy hotel dwellers, with nice heating...but can't afford to pay a fraction of the poor pensioners heating bills? Whom by the way, have all paid into the tax system their whole lives 🤷🏽♂️
Why do this now rather than wait until people over 250k pay an extra 10%, houses sold over 1m pay 1% mansion tax, capital gains on dividends aligns with income etc etc? Letting the horse bolt before bothering to shut the stable door seems ludicrous. Not to mention the impact on NHS etc. Short-sightedness in the extreme.
Train drivers will be nice and warm ,AND UNRWA get £21 million thanks to Mr Lammy .
Blah blah blah....getting boring now listening to all the Liebour rabble blaming the Tories. ....wearing a bit thin and its time they took responsibility for their decision to line the pockets of well paid train drivers at the expense of poorly paid pensioners.
Rachel Reeves said in 2014 she wanted to do this. It has nothing to do with 2017 or the current 22 billion deficit. These are political choices.
If now, very well paid train drivers had any conscience at all, they would ALL go on strike until the Winter Fuel Allowance was reinstated.
Yeah thanks Housing Minister … now P…. Off
Stop illegal migration and putting them up in 4 star hotels.
MPs, and especially Starmer should have their expenses audited by someone from outside their corrupt Labour camp
This 22 billion black hole ! How would giving train drivers and doctors 9 billion in pay rises and 11.6 billion to Africa for carbon zero aid help to balance the books ???
Makes me laugh he keeps saying none of us wanted to do it, yet they still done it. Just pure heartless and greed.
Its a double win save money paying fuel payments and then save on Pensions when the elderly are dead
If we can have driverless cars, surely we can have driverless trains?
With a heavy heart and an expense claim in their tight gripped hand.
