  1. i guess the honeymoon is over 😕

  2. the Conservatives did some daft stuff to reduce their voter base… but labour seems to be good at doing that, too…

  3. A load of nonsense

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. They will remember the pensioners when they need votes.He won't lose money that bloke or take a pay cut

  7. 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.

  8. Sorry this minister is full of BS.

  9. I think mp expenses should be cut not winter fuel for pensioners

  10. could have chose to not send money to other countries to support clean energy thats only going to make energy more expensive

  11. 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>

  12. 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!

  13. Second time I heard him say this morning energy bills are lower. I just got a message its going up.

  14. Lie after lie bullsh1t oozing out of every pore

    Quote from election campaign 2TK “we have a fully costed plan”

  15. Hold on a minute, i smell bullshit, 😂🤣👍

  16. Goon will pay on judgement day and his family will be revolted by his lies

  17. 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

  18. £ 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.

  19. Bet they don't turn the heating down in the free hotels.

  20. 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!!

  21. 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.

  22. So more claiming pension credit wheres the saving.

  23. Energy bills are lower? Really? What planet are these people living on. Just preying on the most vulnerable

  24. I honestly did not think there could be a more useless party than the SNP, i was wrong.

  25. Yea stop giving money to foreigners and foreign countries.

  26. Business secretary, this is terrible, I would not trust this guy to deliver my milk on time in the morning

  27. Could raise taxes on the ultra rich.

  28. 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.

  29. labour can find billions to house refugees in hotels but no money for our own people

  30. Absolute poppycock, and we all know it

  31. They never cut their own pay do they?

  32. Crappy Kier will have the deaths of many on his hands

  33. Nearly 3 million people are over 65 and millionaires. Should they be getting handouts? What happened to not wanting 'Benefit Britain'?

  34. What happened to the trillions raised during COVID?

  35. The pensioners will be dead by the time the country is fixed.
    Sad sad , sad.

  36. ITS OUR MONEY! SPEND IT ON US!

  37. 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?

  38. The Conservatives are the labour government. Wake up people.

  39. Cut former PM & MPs pensions to 5 yrs & slash migrant benefits give them vouchers instead that would raise £Billions overnight !!!

  40. 10% Fuel rise also in time for Winter!

  41. 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!!!

  42. There's ALWAYS a choice.
