I am retired. Now 68yrs. Have paid Nat Insurance for 50yrs. Saved into a pension since I was 20yrs old and I’m now told I may lose the state pension. Leaving me worried and stressed as I still have a mortgage and family to support. Is this how my Government should be treating me? No. It is shameful. There are many many people in this same position.
There must be a lot of Labour voters whose parents are going to be affected by this decision and are probably unhappy at the thought of the suffering from cold that they might endure.
@@Andrew-tx9jy The people who don’t t want it, don’t need it because they are financially secure from their private pensions or whatever els. A single person on the full state pension gets £11,500 a year, is not entitled to pension credits, yet a married couple on £17,300 a year, are entitled to pension credit and the benefits that goes with it.
No asylum seeker is illegal for as long as Britain stays signed up to the UN convention on refugees and no asylum seeker has ever been housed in a luxury hotel. No pensioner should freeze to death in Britain either, because poor pensioners need help to claim pension credit. Please do your bit and help them claim it. Then they will get their winter fuel allowance again. You will be their friend for life if you help a poor pensioner get more and get the allowance back. As you are clearly computer literate, do help any pensioner you know weather winters better with all moneys they are entitled to.
@@MrsGardiner UK has very low state pension I think we are 15th lowest in the EU, so if you are just under amount for pension credit that helps people with the winter fuel prices..
Our state pension is half and less than the rest of the EU including Germany, France, Spain and even Greece 😡 Labour have gone mad… who is the nasty party now? This in the worst cost of living crisis in living memory, war on the motorist with ULEZ scams and everything else.
One thing we know about Starmer is he's ruthless. If he starts to feel she's a block to things that need doing, and it's making him unpopular, it'll be bye bye.
Reeve will end up with a worse reputation than Truss. It’s only a matter of time. Her reputation is severely dented already. The future is looking worse than George Osbourne’s austerity!
Rachel Reeves....... more pensioners will now die because of this decision. Maybe this is what you want so less state pension to pay. The Tories also did this during COVID because of their poor decisions on care homes.
MPs will always keep warm .that's all they are worried about. But yes the more OAPs they pass away the less pension they have to pay that's how they look at things they just do not care

I am nearly 72. I have worked all my life never been out of work. Have a little bit of money aside and now I stand to lose my pension. I’ve paid into that all them years and that’s how you get treated in this country
Hi i am long time labour voter i am discussed in take the money from pensioners. Stop money going overseas from the government that will save a lot. We the people cannot afford this so it stops.
Can you please name anything that reform is worth voting for, the greens have a wealth tax, green energy etc and aren't funded by billionaires like reform....... oh wait sorry I don't need to listen to you anymore I've made up my mind ill vote green
It would be interesting if MP's would surrender their £90,000 + salary for a while and try to manage on a State Pension and see how they get on. They would also have to surrender their claims for heating in their expense accounts for heating in their second homes.
Any pensioner with less income than the average national wage should get the winter fuel allowance. Wasn't Starmers claim prior to the election that he would cut energy bills from day 1 in the Labour manifesto?
Even if you are entitled to the winter fuel allowance. Which means your on pension credit that means you will be tax. Even if you have no savings or other income. Like my mother has been, she got a tax bill for £179.80 this is robbing the most vulnerable people in England. But never mind as long as the boat people get a nice warm bed and food that’s what counts.
Interesting, two tier kia and two tier labour.. what a mess the uk is in. Good luck to everyone, feeling like you will all need more than luck. Yes I deliberately spelt the tool incorrectly. 😊
What is the reason that successive British governments refuse to call on the French to service their sovereign debt to Treasury? The French owe almost a trillion and haven’t paid a penny since 1931, they don’t dispute the loans; so why are taxpayers being flogged without calling on that debt beforehand?
@@seanlander9321USA owes UK $700B of debt and hasn't paid a dollar yet. Successive British governments do nothing about this. Should force USA to pay up what they owe then give it to Ukraine
@@sarahjessicafarter7383 Yes, Britain should certainly pay, it’s disgraceful not to. Likewise France should repay the trillion it owes in loans to the Americans.
There must be millions of Labour voters who have worked hard all their lives to buy their home now they are going to be taxed and penalised for working hard .labour only appeals to the people receiving benefits. My husband and I are extremely worried we are over 75 yr own our own home my husband actually is 81 yr still working.to help pay bills. They are not going to help us not one bit people are fools if they think this new Labour will make for a better U.K.
I think many voters were fooled into thinking that this Labour government would be different from the Tory’s Unfortunately with little published and Labour avoiding talking about policies the nation sleepwalked into government with the same lack of a social conscience as the Tory’s and the same corruption. The lack of taxation of business who pay little U.K. tax by different ways of avoiding it, has failed as big business are the new Labour supports rather than the trade unions. The Tory’s managed to commit political suicide for the next decade, Labour have done the same far far quicker.
If there was a general election tomorrow. Labour would be back in power. Labour voters are dimwits. Labour councils are privatising their services and streets don't get swept drains don't get emptied yet they will go and vote labour
Anyone under 30 has no idea what it’s like to live under a labour govt, and given most 20 somethings aren’t that engaged in political detail, most 30 somethings don’t really know either. So many millions of people believed the usual Labour lies when campaigning, hated the Tories, and voted them in And fair enough. But the rest of knew exactly what would happen
I will never phone Labour ever again. Keeping illegal migrants in hotels at a cost of 6 million a day is where the money would have gone. The MPs should give their heating allowances back. Don’t forget what they’ve done. They will never get in again.
It's disturbing and they'll not get my vote next time ALL pensioners should get the fuel allowance it was very cruel to take it away no matter what excuses she or the labour party gives
Aren’t MPs well off they still get a huge amount towards they’re energy costs…what gives them the right to have that, when everyone earning enough just pay they’re costs ...again all the party MPs looking after themselves 🤬
Why do doctors need an extra £1k a month ? Can they show their outgoings have gone up that much ? When you spend half your income on heating and the other on rent not much left over out of £210 a week as a pensioner.
When they think that £13000 makes you a rich pensioner, and still freezing the tax threshold at around that figure whilst given inflation busting pay rises to high earners, in transportation, healthcare they truly have lost everything thing that party should for.
The greens have a set in stone policy os taxing corporations and oligarchs, it's on their website, if that's something you want I suggest voting for them
Praise for the way they handled the recent riots? Ehh….what narrative has she been listening to?? Get out into the streets and the public, woman, and see if that’s the wider view of people in this country.
Labour MP’s are only concerned because they know most will be out of a job in a few years and they might not do well when they state “previous job = Labour MP” on their CV! 😏
Yes but most other countries DO NOT have universal free healthcare in France Germany, Australia (where I now live) pensioners still have to contribute to their medical care
I'm not sure that other countries have the same National Insurance scheme that people pay into at about 9% of their earnings throughout their working lives.
Will there ever be a government that will put this country first when is this government going to send these immigrants back so we stop give them benefits
Ah, but didn’t labour say their plans were fully funded? And let’s not forget the OBR records they have had access to along with everybody else, or labour as bad at book keeping as the SNP.
Oh what a tangle web we weave. Its easy to say we'll do this and that. But further looking at the nations finances compounds the problem of what to cut, who will lose money eg fuel allowance. I think Labour isn't going to have an easy ride, a very short settling in period. Not many avenues to go down while exploring new policies..
They will reverse it and then announce that because this has been done they of course have to raise taxes and they are sure we will all understand why they had to do this .....
Patel did nothing in office to upset the Tory membership. If there is a drift towards recognising the economic need for immigration - on top of having had the first British-Asian PM - she might be on course for lumbering herself with the job.
Labour has lost the trust of the people . Charity begins at home .British tax payers money going abroad they should look after the british first . Its them that payed the tax .
If you get only state pension, then let me assure you it is a struggle to survive financially. The increase through the triple lock has been instantly eaten by inflation.
If the pensioners got 300 quid it would mean nothing. With labour hiking up energy prices and fuel prices and getting rid of single persons discount if you own your own home every time labour voters put labour in. Labour prey on their biggest source of tax. The public
Remember labour also pay. Hundreds of thousands a year. For immigrants phone bills. Its strange that the tories left labour nothing. But labour can spend billions of money from nothing
You mention the triple lock on pensions that is okay bit no one is recognising that with the tax threshold frozen for another 4 years will mean that that British public will pay way more income tax which I believe is connected to fiscal drag
Everyone in government should try living on the basic state pension for 6month then they might find out what pensioners have to deal with not only that stop paying money to other countries and paying for immigrants then you might have money to pay British people a decent wage and you lot should take a pay cut mps should be on 50 grand a year max thats all they are worth
