LIVE: Labour GRILLED Over Winter Fuel Payment Slash For Pensioners
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- A work and pensions minister said there are “plenty of very wealthy pensioners” who do not need the winter fuel payment, as she defended reforms to the benefit.
Emma Reynolds said there is “fairly widespread agreement” among MPs that the benefit should not be universal, adding it is right for the Government to target support to the poorest pensioners.

It is NOT a difficult decision.....cut foreign aid keep winter allowance
😂😂😂
She is not mentioning all the moneyent abroad and the money spent on illegals coming n the country staying in hotels and given houses why take it from pensioners who have worked all their lives it’s a disgrace shame n them what next
She is also not mentioning the £3600 the mps get for their fuel allowance, the £250 a week they get for meals, that alone is more than my monthly food bill. Why can’t those voted in do the best for our own rather than giving to foreign countries and those coming over the water.
@@kellyturner9004 oh I preach this again and again I have written a text about the illegals and I will keep on and on about the millions and millions to those that are ILLEGAL. They are laughing at us hotels, beautiful brand new apartments fully fitted out, new beds, bedding, curtains, clothes, shoes, etc including mobile phones WHY? If they have just come here who are they going to phone???? I mention this again and again but nobody answers. If I had been in Parliament today I would have asked this question but of course I am not. But it's like a dirty word like Muslim. One has three WIVES with several children all claiming benefits! What?? It's against the law, BIGAMY! But nobody answers me!!! Amen😭
9 billion of the 22 billion black hole is made up of the pay rises he’s just dished out!.
Not mentioning that pay rise to rail 2 years back paid same for traning Dr's disgusting
I am one of those pensioners. Lost everything when they locked down my business. Home, business and savings gone and from that date I have had to live in a van. I have paid in and employed a lot of people throughout my carrer and now at 66 I watch these traitors spewing baseless rhetoric, then they will go to a lovely fully heated home. Its beyond disgraceful.
So if a pensioner dies of hyperthermia can the family sue the government for neglect?
Not if ,when!
We want our money to go to the pensioners and not other countries. Disgusting labour , out , out , out!
Going to Ukraine all of it
There seems to be a Invasion of bad and cruel things surrounding a lot of mainly Christian Countries. The UK needs to stand United to not let this vile attack on all things good and just ,to takeover anymore than it is now. , or, there will be nothing left of all Decent Values, that have got us through two terrible World Wars successfully at the end. Peaceful, laying down of tools of every Trade, except The Hospitals, Fire and Police work, etc etc.
It is a sad time for ppl who are old to be in the UK.
Cutting the pledge of aid to Ukraine by half is enough to help the OAP.
Refusing the request by the French Navy to pick up illegals mid channel will deter quite a bit of the migrants.
Are the immigrants having heating cut ,of course not .young men living in luxury, old people don't count.
Shameful from an MP who can claim £3,500 in heating allowance and no doubt will.
Especially when she disclosed that her hubby had previously had the winter fuel allowance too.😡
Get the navy to grab all boats and tow back to Normandy under international law,that would stop the boats coming over
what a very angry women, wouldn't trust a word out of her mouth
Hate this government
Awful party that said nothing about what they were going to do and now that they are in the mask is off as we all warned. REFORM4ME
If I hear one more Labour mp say it was a tough decision, arghhhhh useless sods get them out asap. Starmer must go
they have been all told to say that.
@@happyapple4269 you are right. its clear now .
Grilled? If the financial black hole is that bad, they could always make the difficult choice to suspend/stop their own second home benefits and expenses....
Hmmm, amazing how there is this financial black hole that Labour knew nothing about, even though they work closely with the Tories on all key issues including the coffers... being the shadow government for so long how can they say that. Bullshizzle!
And suspend, reduce, remove the climate payments to african countries!! FFS 😡😡😡
They could stop encouraging them coming over the water as identified by France, stop encouraging them, stop giving them our money and homes, stop the free medical and dental care.
They knew about the black hole saying they didn't is rubbish,
Heating and fuel doesn't matter to MPs on £90k a year plus extravagant expenses paid by the tax payer
@@roylawless4175 another £1.8 million paid to Rwanda to help improve the cold-chain logistics for food global distribution. University of Birmingham and the private supply companies enjoying the profits enabled by this £20 million scheme......
They got rid of the one Rwanda deterrent and have absolutely nothing in its place. Smash the gangs is verbal rubbish
Exactly they cant smash the gangs. The gangs are invisible, they are way too clever for the likes of Stalin, they have no chance, you cut off one gang another one grows in its place straight away. They are highly organised. A reporter CALLUM MILES WHO HAS his own media went there and saw it all for himself, they will never smash the gangs. waste of time. JUST PUT a deterrent in place and stop making them wanting to come here, but no, they spend millions on illegal migrants homing them etc, and then take the winter fuel allowance from OAP who rely on it. DISGUSTING.
•Labour aren’t fooling anyone
Not fooling ? They fooled lots of people into voting for them giving them a great majority, so big that it is impossible to table a motion of no confidence.
Every mp that voted for this go ahead MUST be named and shamed, they have been forced to back this under fear of their own position, SHAME ON YOU ALL. I hope this comes back to haunt you .
I’m not sure what’s more frightening. What they are saying or that they actually believe it
They are now in government stop blaming and not answering!
What a bunch of hypocrites, take money off pensioners and give it to train drivers while the asylum seekers are welcomed with open arms. Only a human rights lawyer could have such twisted thinking.
Never seen so many jellyfish in one place at the same time.
even when the tories where in power pensions went up and winter fuel payments stayed what is wrong with this new labour government.i give starmer one year and he will be kicked out.
Hopefully less , millipede can go with him and Party girl
Starmar is more bothered about make the illegals happy to get vote to keep him in power.ffs the country is a mess and he only been in charge for 10 weeks.ffs
So it's more important for the trains to run smoothly to avoid travelling chaos than it is for our old age pensioners to stay warm this winter. Unbelievable
Cut foreign aid
Name and shame thos gutless mps that backed starmer on this, shame on you all.
Prat’s.
Starker step down asap!
Yes love because billions being spent on I,egalitarian immigrants And over seas
NHS waiting lists will go up again when 4000 pensioners are taken to hospital with pneumonia this winter.
I never voted for these clowns
Not difficult giving our money to other countries though!
Even Starmer must realise giving £50K a year train drivers a big pay rise then saying we got to make savings by axing the OAP fuel allowance is not a good look.
No the train drivers salery £65.000 he gave them a pay rise meaning they will now get £75.000 a year, the same week stopped the winter fuel payment, he's one horror,
Ere they were on 60 grand now 69 !
There existing basic is actually £65K a year thats £1300 each week , the 22% rise represents an extra £260 each week for 2500 train drivers , or the choice was just £6 each week to 10M pensions ...................there is honestly no excuse for that its undefendable
Train deals are paid via the company not government train firms are private companies
Nah he doesn't
If Starmer wants to promote growth stop the boats and migrants benefits just as quick as your are cutting pensioners benefits I hope ever Labour mp who coldly voted to withdraw the heating allowance to pensioners are named and shamed . And can look in the mirror if pensioners start dying of hypothermia.
And it is as simple as that. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🇬🇧
I just can't bear to watch this
No wonder the country is facing financial difficulties. Clown world.
Inevitably there will be a rise in winter deaths among elderly pensioners, earning this new P.M. the appelation Starmer The Embalmer!
Labour has predictably fled the crime scene. 😂
where is the £22 bn? its our money, the taxpayer, so where is it?
No one acts accountable unfortunately 🤷
she can't even talk right!!
Our country have a fight on our hands we must stand together.
She obviously does not go without.
Lots of pies.
Half of her food budget would clear national debt
As a pensioner in poverty I will see that my family will take legal action on the government when I die of hypothermia. I suggest all pensioners to consider this possible outcome.
pity all "the right honourable ladies and gentlemen" don't just do one and let professionals run the countries finances. We'd all be better off! 🤬 ........ Amatuers!
cut back on MPs expenses in fact stop them all they are here to work for us
So, if a pensioner gets £221 per week, they get no financial help, but if a pensioner gets £218 per week they can claim up to £3900 per year through various savings and benefits therefore taking the £218 claimant racing past the £221 claimant! Fair? No way !!!
Stop moaning as your grandkids will get ZERO ... nothing ... not a penny because you lot STOLE EVERYTHING and dumped YOUR DEBT on the kids ... so shame on YOU
When she delivers her budget as many people as possible need to boo her from Downing Street to Parliament what a carve up poor pensioners
Time to raise the threshold for pension credit from £218 to £225 ,then more pensioners who don't have private pensions qualify
At least they are going to be warm this winter
243 Questions and a 9 week wait for processing for a pensioner to get credit!! ARE THEY FRIKIN SERIOUS FFS !
She lost the audience after 30 seconds of her drivel , when they all start talking amongst themselves you have lost the audience interest
Just shows you how awful our governing class has been over the last 40 years. The headless chickens are roosting in parliament and are the only ones getting fat at the taxpayers' expense.
They will get their comeuppance
They should give up the excuse about everything being the Cons fault. This 10 week old baby government have proved themselves worse and most of the electorate want to hear what I'll be done for them, not pet projects and new dependants who came here recently without cause.
That have fat salaries, no pensioner I know has more than a tiny private pension we were told we should aim for if at all possible to
ABSOLUTELY disgusting they give billion of foreign aid allocated £6.9 billion in aid for 2022/23, rising to £8.3 billion in 2024/25. Bilateral aid (that to other countries and regions) will experience a further fall in 2023/24, before a rise in 2024/25 but rather tale from pensionsor
Labour used to be the party that looked after the vulnerable in our society but I guess their priorities lay elsewhere today.
don't forget to look after all these in hotel's and give them 3meals aday you all piss in the same pot
They should be debating why British pensioners are paid they least in Europe and allways were and why gas and electric the most expensive in Europe, pensioners should be treated with dignity and remember these were the people that built and fought for Britain.
Dire state, maybe she doesn’t remember when labour were last in.
What a load of rubbish. This government has to go. Money for unions train driver who was already on a good wage !
If I lose my £200 a year fuel allowance because of MPs who get £125.00 a week breakfast money which is £6500 a year for these same MPs to eat at the trough I will be very upset. They do need to take tough decisions and it starts with themselves.
Amazingly those questions are not brought up.....
11+ billion on foreign climate aid won't be cut though will it?
EVIL STARMER, DISGRACEFUL LABOUR. 😊
They are all just talking amongst each other but non of them really care they are all doing well making you believe they are looking out for you
No matter how they like to dress it up I personally believe labour committed political suicide by taking the winter fuel allowance away from most pensioners.
I would have agreed to not pay it to pensioners living permanently abroad.
Mentioned are 4000 will end up very ill but the figure will be much higher
The UK pension is already the worst in Europe
What a bunch of nasties,WE WON'T FORGET
I live abroad and for the last ten years the heating allowance has been scrapped which is fine, save those living just on state pension. There should be a threshold of lets say £ 15 000 before the fuel allowance is stopped, which is very little to live on anyway with council taxes as high as they are.
Shame on ths government. They should turn the heating of in thier offices and parliament too. Labour should be banned forever. They will not be forgiven or forgotten for this.
When are these people look at pension credit with the same vigour. With the add ons it's possible to be better off than people who just miss out... Im one of them... My mate gets PC and ends up £1300 better off with what he doesn't pay(council tax) and the add ons
Liar…..
Winter NHS crisis , elderly in hospital for hypothermia.
How about Labour MPs stop ripping thousands off British taxpayers every year in expenses for their rent, energy and household bills!
Who ate all the pies ?
LABOUR showing their true colours!
Perhaps she should give her husband some of the money she spends on her food budget so he can heat his home 🤭
Go after the Tories and find out where the billions went to, DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON THE PENSIONERS !!!
WILL THE MP'S STOP CLAIMING THEIR SECOND HOME HEATING ALLOWANCE ? ? ?
What a disgrace this labour lot really are, they stand for there self .
Pointless ?
The Labour Government have got blood on their hands. This woman will help her Husband. He won’t want for anything who do she think she’s fooling and god how old is her Husband. Perhaps he’s wealthy and won’t need Winter fuel payments.
Get rid of the house of Lords,that will save 50m.
Can a government do as it pleases? Do they have our authority to do what they do? This is not democracy!
They are civil servants and are surposed to work for us, but governments never do and once in do as they please.
Don't see hardly any of my works pension as it all goes on gas, electricity, council tax, water, bt, Vodafone mobile,etc
why not set the standard to be the equivalent of the minimum working wage for the year including state pension ,private pension ,and any means tested payments . if under pay fuel allowance if over dont pay ,and to pay for this reduce giving out billions in overseas aid and look after the people who create this wealth first simples end of, and ps stop allowing mps claiming heating allowances for their properties for a start.
And costing our elderly people their lives as opposed to funding every migrant and putting millions into foreign countries that are better off than we are, NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Shame on those labour MPs who abstained, on the winter fuel shame shame shame shame
She on £91K+ Expenses and Husband had Winter Fuel Allowance.
There is only one way we all need to go, and that is to vote every Labour mp out of all local government’s in every constituency in the uk.
Let’s send them a message. Labour out!!
Labour are not fooling anyone .in this county ,
Pensioners are on less then minimum wage , one of worst pensions in the west, and they take even more from them.
The question that needs to be asked is why they need it in the first place. We are buying gas from other places instead of getting our own at the alter of net zero, madness
how about ,stop taking anymore immigrants the country is full ,therefore no futher expense of hotels ,basic common sense ,in my opinion ,taking from pensioners isnt the answer
Win win in parliament but not on Ground
You look at her and see exactly what she is, never forget or forgive any of these scumbags
Those people never seem to do the right thing for the public.
It wasn't a difficult decision to give train drivers on £80000 a year inflation busting pay rises.
18 billion for wind farms for 3rd world countries.
Dont forget the migrants. The country is just bleeding
I can't understand Starmer Rayner, Reeves and co. Where are their brains ? Why would anyone who has been in the political wilderness for years, want to alienate the very people who put their faith in them and gave them another chance . It just proves that nothings changed with labour after all the s... they got us in before ,they've learned nothing and have no respect for the indigenous folk of our country especially pensioners. TRAITORS ALL OF THEM
Disgraceful 😮
This now clears the way to remove the pension from anyone with more than £5,000 savings. Starmer has already stated that the definition of a rich person is anyone with savings.
They will pay for this at the polls . Us Brits have a long memory
general strike
King Charles III needs to intervene.
I don't think he cares
Why doesnt Two Tier Herr Kier Starmer give back his multi-million tax protected special pension which his party legislated especially for him?
Where was Nigel and co.?????????
Exactly
They probably knew this was going to be a forgone conclusion....
Let me be clear she wont be going hungry any time soon.
Never mind means testing as any pensioner who has paid into the system is entitled to claim , if not isn’t this discrimination ??
Making a name for themselves at the expense of the elderly and the vulnerable.
She's not gone hungry during the winter has she.
More and more pensioners are going to die because of this all the government should be ashamed of themselves
They have no shame !
I’ve been experimenting with candle and flowerpot heaters, not perfect but good enough to help stave off the worst effects of the cold. This is what we have sunk to when we have a government of a supposedly sophisticated society that is prepared to have its pensioners huddled around a candle to avoid freezing.
I'm a pensioner and live in my kitchen during the winter as it's my warmest room, i didn't expect my retirement to be like this. I have a small works pension and not the full state pension and I'm scared i don't want to die yet but each year i get a bit older I'm feeling the cold more and more 😢🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
