Trade secretary Jonathan Reynolds discusses MPs balloting on slicing wintry weather gasoline allowance for hundreds of pensioners and the continued jail situation in England and Wales.
Requested in regards to the shorten, Mr Reynolds instructed Sky Information: “We have no choice.”
He added: “I want to reassure people, first of all, and point out that pensions are higher this year and energy bills are lower, and that we are committed to the triple lock.”

i guess the honeymoon is over 😕
@rinkadink66
the Conservatives did some daft stuff to reduce their voter base… but labour seems to be good at doing that, too…
@jenniferrodgers6938
A load of nonsense
@NessieT
The Daily Mirror reported in July that the Prime Minister, in this case Starmer, earns two salaries. The first is £91,346 for being an MP, and the second is the £80,807 for being the PM.
MPs are able to claim allowances to cover the costs of running an office and employing staff, and maintaining a constituency residence while the elderly and poor struggle or freeze this winter?
Their wages come from the taxes WE PAY and Starmer has the audacity to talk down to us the way he does, allow illegal immigrants and asylum seekers into our country to swamp us, attack us and get better treatment than us.
I think that if they make a pigs ear out of the job they should repay their wages.
@msJjbluematrix
Call me kooky, but they sound just like politicians over here. If its something that everyone hates, its the previous administration. If its something that people like, they toot their own horn. What I love about listening to news agencies from the UK is that they don't let their politicians sugar coat like they do here. For the most part they are almost forced to answer the question. Here they will scream conspiracy and walk away.
@andygman639
They will remember the pensioners when they need votes.He won't lose money that bloke or take a pay cut
@AcutePanic41
Every person who voted Labour is responsible for this and everything that happens from now. I have no idea why we as fairly intelligent people fall for politicians lies… EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!
It's embarrassing to be a part of society sometimes. If there is a chance of reincarnation, I want to come back as anything but human.
@matthewharding-ew1ts
Sorry this minister is full of BS.
@jodiepeters5934
I think mp expenses should be cut not winter fuel for pensioners
@steffanbull4671
could have chose to not send money to other countries to support clean energy thats only going to make energy more expensive
@tanju9041
and again, blame someone else and say it will get better in the years to come. the elderly who make that that far. Take note pensioners and do not DIE>
@Caredroia
BUT – They did have a choice in getting the more from; another Robin Hood style-tax from the energy companies, Charging an Environmental Penalty against all those owned Water Companies by the neglectful Chinese-Dubi investors who've been dumping raw sewage in the nation's water, Scraping HSR2, or even Reducing Foreign Aid to 0%. NO, it is course someone else's fault. Wasn't Labour who spent all the money in 2009. Why do I think things are going to get worse!
@tanju9041
Second time I heard him say this morning energy bills are lower. I just got a message its going up.
@Salford_Chap
Lie after lie bullsh1t oozing out of every pore
Quote from election campaign 2TK “we have a fully costed plan”
@phillipsharpe6459
Hold on a minute, i smell bullshit, 😂🤣👍

Goon will pay on judgement day and his family will be revolted by his lies
@steventwine8705
On the prison release scheme, how come foreign criminals are not deported? Thousands of places would be free then. What is it with political parties that they refuse to get rid of foreign criminals and failed asylum seekers? Frees up prison spaces and saves us billions of not having to provide all the freebies the illegals get
@prof1066
£ Billions for the Unions ,as if a train driver deserves to earn £80,000 a year, far more than most people have ever got and 4 times my Wifes pay.
@ConfusedCassettePlayer-ub3vj
Bet they don't turn the heating down in the free hotels.
@familysalter3308
We find over £4.3bn to host refugees (with heating & food) and we’ve found money to give a bumper pay rise to train drivers yet we cant find the £1.4bn to help warm the homes of our vulnerable elderly who have worked and paid taxes and all their lives. 1/6 pensioners live in poverty, energy prices are rising in Oct & again in January. This will leave many at risk of death living in cold damp conditions – THIS IS UNBELIEVABLY CRUEL!!! We need to protect our elderly – We need to be their voice – We need to fight this CRUEL and HEARTLESS decision!!
@steventwine8705
Where is the vat money on bills going? What they spending that money on? Happy to give abroad and to make sure the dinghy people are nice and warm.
@melgrant7404
So more claiming pension credit wheres the saving.
@jessicarule2148
Energy bills are lower? Really? What planet are these people living on. Just preying on the most vulnerable
@ianhogg7064
I honestly did not think there could be a more useless party than the SNP, i was wrong.
@Chris1LFC
Yea stop giving money to foreigners and foreign countries.
@ianhogg7064
Business secretary, this is terrible, I would not trust this guy to deliver my milk on time in the morning
@williamshaw5388
Could raise taxes on the ultra rich.
@EziosBladez
This is what a stable person sounds like, when they live in a posh part of town and paid far too much money for sitting about making noises in parliament.
@wersitime
labour can find billions to house refugees in hotels but no money for our own people
@davidoldboy5425
Absolute poppycock, and we all know it
@CJones-99
They never cut their own pay do they?
@sixx2476
Crappy Kier will have the deaths of many on his hands
@ANH-1977
Nearly 3 million people are over 65 and millionaires. Should they be getting handouts? What happened to not wanting 'Benefit Britain'?
@Shay3356
What happened to the trillions raised during COVID?
@kevinhay3778
The pensioners will be dead by the time the country is fixed.
Sad sad , sad.
@dismizzle
ITS OUR MONEY! SPEND IT ON US!
@willscott1171
Absolute rubbish. If they are so worried about public finances they could stop squandering money and maybe recoup the many millions spend on useless PPE. and if all the pensioners apply for pension credits so they can get the winter fuel payment how is that saving money?
@kevinhay3778
The Conservatives are the labour government. Wake up people.
@user-wl4cl1ph3b
Cut former PM & MPs pensions to 5 yrs & slash migrant benefits give them vouchers instead that would raise £Billions overnight !!!
@adrianunderwood8642
10% Fuel rise also in time for Winter!
@adrianunderwood8642
33% Consultant pay rise, 22% Junior Doctors, 14% Train Drivers, Millions on Illegal Immigration, 40 Million on Foreign Aid! So they had to do it, really! Blood on their hands!!!
@berserkirclaws107
There's ALWAYS a choice.
