  1. Fed up listening to her quoting the black hole left by the Conservatives,she is only trying to cover herself for taking the fuel payment from the needy,don’t know how she can sleep at night,worse decision ever 😡she should be ashamed of herself,will never vote Labour again 😡

  2. Stop the boats

  3. Labour ministers keep pretending they knew nothing of the black hole. Perhaps these lying ministers will fall into the hole.

  4. Reeves :- " I'm not bovvered. Do I look bovvered ?"

  5. Labour – a party for the people. Im sure thats what they used to be.

  6. Reeves took away the fuel allowance just before winter. The pension rise will be next April- after the winter. Excellent timing for a hypocritical minister looking after herself.

  7. No she wants she'll claim it on expenses like the rest of the corrupt government do they don't live in the real world

  8. Why don't the MPs take a cut in their salaries or expenses….. No that's not on their agenda, so glad that I can get voted for the Green party!!! 😮

  9. Labour will pay a heavy price at the polling stations.

  10. It’s a genius way of freeing up hospital beds

  11. Free hotels , free food , free mobile phones , free pre paid credit cards for people who are here illegally and on top of that 11.6 billion given to foreign aid more than half the black hole and the solution is freezing the uk pensioners who have worked and paid tax to the uk government all there working lives

  12. I wish i was born somewhere else and came over on a boat then i would be respected by the criminal goverment

  13. Giving 11.6 billion more than half the worth of the black hole to foreign aid but can’t heat our pensioners who have worked and paid tax to the uk government all there lives

  14. Despicable Reeves. Sorry you CRETIN you are NOT making the sacrifice, BRITTISH PEOPLE ARE.

  15. Would be nice if they were stopping their own winter fuel if it is ment to be that bad. But I bet they still getting theirs

  16. Corruption abounds in all the parties so in the next election I will write None Of The Above .

  17. Defending the historic evil is evil a price will be paid in lives be it on your conscience too if you endorse this for only one life lost is unnecessary evil

  18. Is there any substance to the claim regarding the 22 billion deficit, homies?

  19. To save you the trouble of listening to the full speech she says "black hole , triple lock and tough decisions "interspersed with huge dollops of BS .

  20. The UK has one of the poorest pensions in Europe. Labour just made it worse.

  21. Stop foreign aid,
    Stop paying for migrant hotels,
    Help the elderly.

  22. That’s all you hear. 22 billion debt. What a load of baloney. Stop sending money to other countries in aid when we can’t afford to look after our elderly. The ones who built this country. The ones who gave birth to the people in power now. They are a disgrace

  23. Not according to your union paymasters😮

  24. if all pensioner's die who is going to vote for Labour

  25. Who liked this when the same amount was given to Ukraine

  26. What a whopper

  27. YOU AND YOUR PARTY ARE A DISGRACE AND NEED REMOVING ASAP

  28. I’d let her stay at mine

  29. So, millions of pounds wasted on illegal Immigrants every f*cking day is fine?? They offer nothing to this country. It’s bonkers.

  30. should be in jail

  31. And she didn't mention immigration once.

  32. What a sickening hag… It's cowardly to take money from the poorest. She dare mot touch tje wealthy because she is looking to her own future gilded nest egg. At least tne Tories never pretend to care about the working man and woman.
