Ed Miliband Says he is 'worried' about rocketing energy bills & that the Labour Govt will bring forward 'proposals'. Here's a couple of 'proposals' from us:
💡Take energy companies into public ownership
✋ Reverse the #WinterFuel cut
💰Tax the rich to pay for it

Labour have lost it soul by punching downwards. First winterfuel, the disability cuts, now it’s the migrants turn.

Starmer announces u turn on winter fuel payments to calm labours nerves. Wait until the pip changes n sickness benefit changes get fully announced n start being introduced. Labour will need buckets of prozac to calm their nerves & it will lose them the next election. #WinterFuel #UTurn #Pip #labour

Labour says slashing pensioner payments last year helped the economy. Now they’re pretending a U-turn makes them heroes. Don’t fall for it. #WinterFuel #PIP #LabourLies #UKPolitics voxpoliticalonline.com?p=98531
Labour’s Winter Fuel U-turn: A Lie Built on Pensioner Pain
Labour says cuts helped restore winter fuel payments. The facts – falling jobs, rising costs – say otherwise. A shameful lie exposed.

What Labour also has done:
Argued today that if the winterfuel allowance "savings" were reversed, the money has to come from somewhere.

What Labour has not done:
- Argued for a wealth tax
- Arranged to sack Tory supporting BBC staff
- Set UK ownership rules of media companies

Erasmus+ is wonderful, but currently too expensive for UK.

With that I mean that its a difficult 'sell' for Labour when they have a 22 billion black hole, have to make winterfuel allowance means-tested and need to put up taxes.

Starmer still faces Labour anger over risk of ‘two-tier’ disability benefits

On top of the #WinterFuel debacle!

As my name isn't on the household bill we don't seem to be able to get winter fuel allowance for me.

There might be a way round it but the government should be making things easier for the disabled, not more complicated :S

Is Labour really “coming for the pensioners”?

Labour’s pension policies: a mixed bag. Triple lock upheld, pension credit uptake improving—but Winter Fuel Payment cuts & no #WASPI comp

Is Labour really “coming for the pensioners”?
Is the Conservative Party fair in accusing Labour of “contempt for pensioners”?

So, Starmer is advocating that Scotland's government further help out the poor and old denied their #winterfuel payments from Westminster during this extended period of freezing weather. But he won't help those in similar hardship in England. Labour, huh?

Child poverty up, pensioner poverty down. Labour just U-turned on benefits — for voters, not kids. #Labour #ChildPoverty #WinterFuel #UKPolitics

Labour prioritises pensioners over children – Resolution shows
Labour reversed plans to restrict pensioner benefits—while child poverty is set to rise sharply. Is this politics, or priorities?

Universal #WinterFuel payment has no place in a progressive tax system with a pension triple lock and pension credit availability, itself is a gateway to further benefits. Wish #Labour representatives would stop using it as a pretext for dissent when there's so much else to advocate for

Decisions are choices. Labour chooses to abandon the elderly to a grim struggle for survival over winter.
