Nearly 1m UK pensioners living in deprivation, official figures show
Separate report suggests number of people living in poverty aged between 60 and pension age has tripled under Tories
www.theguardian.com
Scrapping winter fuel payment is wrong, but REAL SCANDAL is that UK state pension is one of WORST in Europe!! MINIMUM wage is £22k but pension is ONLY HALF THAT at £11.5k! 1m elderly living in poverty! Judge a country by how it treats it's vulnerable!

It's true 👇🏽 I find that if I'm doing a sauté for broth, cottage pie etc, it's better on the low heat in the InstantPot because if you chuck it in on medium or high it starts to set like a massive beefburger.
I can't cope with @sainsburys mince. It's better for the environment.
I've tried. But it's mushy and spoils every recipe. 😬
