I think it is more a case of trying to protect their core vote of the public sector, and keeping the bosses of the big unions on side. The others, such as farmers, the elderly, and those from the private sector, are of no interest, and can therefore be considered expendable. After all, in the world of Rachel from Accounts, a dead pensioner is both one less pension to pay, and, potentially, one less non labour vote.

My heart goes out to all the pensioners affected by having their winter fuel allowances removed especially Theresa 😢………. I hate this government! They clearly have a vendetta against pensioners, working class people and the farmers
What has happened to this country ? My 91 year old mum is suffering in the cold she can't use her heating now because of this vile labour government its disgusting
I worked as a registered nurse and have experience in aged care. Having listened to Theresa ❤this government should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves 😡. Ed Milliband is an incompetent idiot and could not run a bath, let alone be part of any government. Sending Theresa love and positive thoughts. The real reason for the very poor turn out at cop 29 is that many countries have come to realise that the whole thing is unachievable and that renewables are actually going to be more expensive in the long run. Also the world has more pressing problems to deal with at the moment. This is the worst government I have seen in my 69 years.
Take fleece long line hoodies to churches to distribute to cold pensioners. Not too expensive to do but over clothes makes a big difference. Need community spirit to be actioned .
@@SusanDean-n7xI’m 76 and have just ordered a full length fleece lined hoodie type garment and I intend to wear it OVER my normal clothes, and I’ll also have my dressing gown on under the hoodie! Plus when sitting down I’ve got a heated throw. I’ll hardly be able to walk with all that on but at least I’ll hopefully be warm. I’ve no central heating and just have an electric space heater on at 1kw (I only heat one room). If I use it for 12 hours per day it costs me about 3 pounds per day, (just for that heater alone). About 90 pounds per month. Then of course I have to add on the normal costs of cooker, washing machine, fridge freezer, shower etc. There are however, many worse off than me I know.
More than any member of any govt has done shows ehat they re all like...any immigrant rolls up legal or not most jump on bandwagon as know full well are favoured...
I'm not ashamed of my country; I'm ashamed of those who voted for Labour or, even worse, those who didn't bother to vote when it was clear that Starmer couldn't be trusted.
Tell me who would you have voted for.I had been in hospital and my postal vote was not sent for I did not have my papers to vote. Still who would I have voted for 1 Tories people were not happy with them 2 reform had only just decided to go in so did not have enough seats so labour well say no more.I did not vote but if I had had my postal vote I would have voted reform but even if I had labour would still have got in there was not much of a choice. The voting system needs to be changed.Reform had a lot of people voting for them but they did not have the seats.
Worked from 17 to 70 and being penalised aged 77. Whatever happened to the Great Britain I grew up in. Now totally ashamed of my country and its government.
Make starmer and his whole party listen to this lady. My heart bleeds for our oaps. Liebour should be ashamed of themselves. Don't forget they cheered in the house when the removal of the £300 was passed. Disgusting all the while illegal immigrants are treated like visiting royalty.
No more labour no more conservative governments . After 9 years of disastrous Tory policies and sleaze. Incompetence and corruption we now have a Labour government that is beyond what anyone could have imagined . I knew they would be bad but I never figured they could be this bad . I think even a lot of Labour voters had immediate buyers remorse within weeks of the election.
How could they treat the elderly like this?how do people even think like this;I knew they couldn't fix nothing;the fact is they don't want 2 fix it;these people are heartless and just don't care;2'make the young and elderly suffer like this is beyond any kind of words;
Vote out all the Lib/Lab/Con councils for a start. Our town councillors are as bad as our MPs and complicit in the governments plans.

They will still be here for the next 5 years though which is the bigger issue. Just wait for the headlines over the winter when they start dying, because it is inevitable. One issue is none of them seem to have any empathy towards anyone, Starmer just comes across as a robot without a care in the World. A disgusting Government of clueless, inept individuals.
@@evelynhillier2877 If true, it needs to be reported to the media (not the Guardian though). This needs to make the front page and main news headlines, not that the BBC will want to cover it though.
I hope all the listeners who voted Labour are pleased with themselves. This government has failed at every turn other than enriching their union paymasters.
I didn’t vote for them but I don’t blame those that did, they manipulated the voters. People were unsure of Reform and we’d all had enough of the Tories. But Starmer has done so much worse. It’s a travesty. None of them should be in these positions, the two most important were not qualified to make such decisions that have crippled the majority of us and now they’ve put us in a dangerous position with Russia. They have such a cavalier attitude and they are a huge threat to the safety and wellbeing of England. Starmer and Rachel Reeves need psychiatric assessments at the very least they are compulsive liars and Sociopaths. They are delusional loose canons.
I am another pensioner, left school at fifteen got a job straight away and always worked till i retired at sixty five, i am now seventy five. I live alone in a sheltered housing complex along with many others in a similar situation. I'm frightened to put my heating on and can only trust putting in on for an hour morning and evening in case i get a big bill. I just put extra layers of clothes on, but it's also depressing because you're frightened to put your tele on. It is truly awful being old and afraid to live a normal life. I despise STARMER and this Labour government it is disgraceful what they're doing to their OWN people especially when it is not necessary. He is one evil, spiteful man.
Starmer said he was going to REDUCE STANDING CHARGES. These charging are bare faces ROBERY. How many times do we pay for a meter costing a few hundred pounds. It's a made up charge. Also, why do we have these independent power companies at all? We could pay bills directly to the National Grid, which the Taxpayer already owns. There should be no private companies involved in any power supplies or water.
He did it before while in opposition. Made all the right noises. First thing his chancellor did, cancel heating allowance He's lower than a snakes belly
That is a very valid point, I'm 70 and on warfarin myself but in the very lucky position of being able to pay increased energy bills. However I use a heated throw to watch tv, read etc not have the central heating on. They cost pennies to run. If only there could be some way of organising these to be distributed to 'needy' pensioners God bless them. Its heart breaking.
I don’t think he is. I live in Australia and news coverage on him is really bad and not very flattering! He wouldn’t last two minutes out here! Tony Abbot once said politics in the uk is toxic while politics in Australia is brutal, and that’s a very apt assessment!
I've seen a few comments in sympathy with the old lady, who still gets the WFA and so must therefore be also on pension credit, which I totally understand so imagine what it must be like for those people just above pension credit having £219 per week and not getting any pension credit or WFA payment.🤔
Tough. I get into arguments with the "rich pensioners" brigade. I ask them to tell me what income for a pensioner is "rich" Oddly they never commit themselves to an answer. THAT IS THE QUESTION THOUGH, what should be a living pension for the non "rich " 73% pensioners in the UK ?
Yes I'm one of them I'm 70 had cancer op in March and I'm too scared to put heating on its heat or eat for many of us and you feel the cold more when old
@@lindaoxtoby160 scary for you, so sorry. I hope that you'll be ok. I can recommend a longline fleecy lined hoodie, doesn't need to be expensive and definitely helps over clothes. You know who's have some, think 12.00? Hope this info helps. All the best
I lived in a 5 bedroom semi in the north of England until 2020 and my combined gas and elec were £70 a month. The increases since then have been ridiculous but expected with the green policies. I now live in Thailand, a two bedroom house with garden, my electricity less than £20 a month, water under £5 even though I water the garden twice a day for most of the year. Pensioners should leave the UK if they can.
As a perished pensioner i have just had to turn my heating up a couple of degrees. I have on four layers including two woollen sweaters. I have thick jogging bottoms on and this morning I've had to put my dressing gown on over my other clothes. I am still cold as, despite having carried out as much insulation as i can, as my home is an old cold house. We've been promised cheap energy for decades - I'm still waiting.
Best thing my son bought me A longline hooded fleece lined hoodie and a pair of fleece boots. Helps to cope. But at nearly 70 question is why in winter I have to dress like a yeti to stay warm and save money ?
how can they justify claiming the allowances for themselves while taking it away from our elderly workers some might not be working now but some have worked for decades its unacceptable disgraceful utterly disgusting ... why work?????
There has to be a process whereby another general election can be called. Surely this cannot continue and the newly elected labour MPs didn’t sign up for this. Then again maybe they did as they are all rotten to the core.
There used to be a system whereby local constituents could recall their local MP. But I'm no expert and would imagine they've probably closed that loop hole by now.
@ They won’t vote against labour if a vote of no confidence is successful and a general election is called as they know they won’t win back their seat. They should do the decent thing and switch parties so at least they have a chance of regaining their seat.
Dont bring the King into this. Why can't people understand that he is a CONSTITUTIONAL monarch.(look it up) , not an ABSOLUTE monarch, again (look it up!). He has NO political power, none at all!. Have you folk got that?
The King.does care. Why can't people understand that he is a CONSTITUTIONAL Monarch, not an ABSOLUTE one! (Look it up) He has no political power whatsoever!
How do our MPs have the effrontery to accept payment and put in claims for expenses for sitting on their backsides while our elderly are freezing for want of a few extra £s a week?
Listening to that lady was truly upsetting, but I doubt if Reeves or Starmer would blink an eye, they are a disgrace and the country will never forget or forgive! I am 73 and have never, ever know anything like this appalling government!

How low are this government going for pensioners my personal feeling is it’s called a “culling”poor elderly folk cought in a web of cold pain and injustice.
It is grotesquely disgusting that in an age when energy should be abundant and cheap that most families, especially old people living alone, are basically freezing cold in their homes and cannot afford to heat them . The cost of electricity seems to have been manipulated ,in my opinion, to ration it by cost. If the price of energy was at the normal rate then a lot more would be used and the new energy infrastructure in this country could not cope ,with its windmills and solar panels . If people were able to use energy at the proper rate there would be frequent power cuts. This is a consequence of ideology.
I am seriously thinking about writing to Mr Trump to ask if he can help our poor pensioners....Our government isn’t going to do anything!! We are becoming a third world country in our living standards. Remember...No Votes for Lie..bour at the local elections in May!!! I will be voting for Reform 😃
I wouldnt be at all surprised to see Elon step in with an affordable enrgy solution for the UK at the very least - That man is Truly empathic :) - The only man in power I trust
The fact that they are spending millions to look after foreign men who have entered illegally completely destroys any reason they say they have for scrapping the pensioners fuel allowance
470 people taken at public expense to the Climate Change summit - how ironic and stupid that is. The cost in money and carbon is enormous. If we were serious about carbon emissions we should be having video conferences instead of flying round the world.

Starmer and decency are strangers to each other.
He never had any to start with.
He has no decentsy he couldn't care less,he just wants to look after the illegals Tony Blairs puppet continuing his open borders,at our expense,nothing but a dictator
He's never had any decency. He's deluded and a liar.
My heart goes out to all the pensioners affected by having their winter fuel allowances removed especially Theresa 😢………. I hate this government! They clearly have a vendetta against pensioners, working class people and the farmers
What has happened to this country ? My 91 year old mum is suffering in the cold she can't use her heating now because of this vile labour government its disgusting
Its being prepared for Social credit system
I worked as a registered nurse and have experience in aged care. Having listened to Theresa ❤this government should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves 😡. Ed Milliband is an incompetent idiot and could not run a bath, let alone be part of any government. Sending Theresa love and positive thoughts.
The real reason for the very poor turn out at cop 29 is that many countries have come to realise that the whole thing is unachievable and that renewables are actually going to be more expensive in the long run. Also the world has more pressing problems to deal with at the moment. This is the worst government I have seen in my 69 years.
Take tories into equstion too...they talked perjured and stole..
Please get rid of Starmer before this country is totally destroyed. Leave Netanyahu alone, he is doing a great job.
how can this even happen in England? that poor old Lady. SHOCKING
Yes, and in 2024!
Broken election promises should trigger an immediate suspension of parliament, then another general election.
This breaks my heart. We need to help our pensioners. We need to find a way.
Take fleece long line hoodies to churches to distribute to cold pensioners.
Not too expensive to do but over clothes makes a big difference.
Need community spirit to be actioned .
@@SusanDean-n7xI’m 76 and have just ordered a full length fleece lined hoodie type garment and I intend to wear it OVER my normal clothes, and I’ll also have my dressing gown on under the hoodie! Plus when sitting down I’ve got a heated throw. I’ll hardly be able to walk with all that on but at least I’ll hopefully be warm. I’ve no central heating and just have an electric space heater on at 1kw (I only heat one room). If I use it for 12 hours per day it costs me about 3 pounds per day, (just for that heater alone). About 90 pounds per month. Then of course I have to add on the normal costs of cooker, washing machine, fridge freezer, shower etc. There are however, many worse off than me I know.
The test of any country is how they treat their old.
Let‘s look out for the pensioners in our community. Check up on pensioners you know and check if they have what they need.
@@katperson7332I am so sorry for the way this government has treated you. 😔
Paul Thorpe has messaged you to say he will pay her bills for the next year
Paul you are a star
Thank you Paul, you are a good man.
More than any member of any govt has done shows ehat they re all like...any immigrant rolls up legal or not most jump on bandwagon as know full well are favoured...
Well done Paul, it's beyond disgusting what this government are doing !
He is a real star.G Bless him.❤
I'm not ashamed of my country; I'm ashamed of those who voted for Labour or, even worse, those who didn't bother to vote when it was clear that Starmer couldn't be trusted.
Reform voters splitting the Tory vote did the damage
Tell me who would you have voted for.I had been in hospital and my postal vote was not sent for I did not have my papers to vote. Still who would I have voted for 1 Tories people were not happy with them 2 reform had only just decided to go in so did not have enough seats so labour well say no more.I did not vote but if I had had my postal vote I would have voted reform but even if I had labour would still have got in there was not much of a choice. The voting system needs to be changed.Reform had a lot of people voting for them but they did not have the seats.
That still makes me cry!
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... It broke my heart 💔
It reduced me to tears listening to this poor lady😢
Worked from 17 to 70 and being penalised aged 77. Whatever happened to the Great Britain I grew up in. Now totally ashamed of my country and its government.
They have to either do a u turn or resign. It’s disgusting
It’s about time they put our own people FIRST
Make starmer and his whole party listen to this lady. My heart bleeds for our oaps. Liebour should be ashamed of themselves. Don't forget they cheered in the house when the removal of the £300 was passed. Disgusting all the while illegal immigrants are treated like visiting royalty.
It's so heartbreaking for this lady and many more it's disgusting
No more labour no more conservative governments . After 9 years of disastrous Tory policies and sleaze. Incompetence and corruption we now have a Labour government that is beyond what anyone could have imagined . I knew they would be bad but I never figured they could be this bad . I think even a lot of Labour voters had immediate buyers remorse within weeks of the election.
How could they treat the elderly like this?how do people even think like this;I knew they couldn't fix nothing;the fact is they don't want 2 fix it;these people are heartless and just don't care;2'make the young and elderly suffer like this is beyond any kind of words;
Vote out all the Lib/Lab/Con councils for a start. Our town councillors are as bad as our MPs and complicit in the governments plans. Vote ReformUK to start to change things from the bottom up to the general election. No good having a right leaning government when all our towns and villages are still run by woke councils.
@@burchelwinkler9778 Exactly the Labour government are prioritising giving another 3 billion to Ukraine and many billions to Africa for climate change nonsense over heating peoples homes and putting food on the table . Anyone that can afford to is leaving this country
@@SybilJohnson-k3p Reform can't do anything;they would have 2 do the same money talks BS walks;they would have 2 balance the books just like the rest;ur not paying attention; u really believe that reform can change something?in case u don't understand its business that run this world;
@@SybilJohnson-k3pvote for the millionaires party, yeah that will fix things I'm sure
won't lie, im sat here in tears for that poor lady, it was utterly horrible listening to that!!!! this government just doesn't care....if the cold does not get her the stress will.....I have no words!!!!
When one pensioner dies due directly to not being able to afford heating, this government will be finished
@@robinburn4974 unfortunately it will be more than one. This is just a cold snap we’re having. What happens when real winter sets in that’s here for weeks on end. Come on Talk TV set up crowd funding so we can all help our pensioners as the government are not willing to.
I doubt it, Starmer is importing his future voters especially when all their relatives come here to.
They will still be here for the next 5 years though which is the bigger issue. Just wait for the headlines over the winter when they start dying, because it is inevitable. One issue is none of them seem to have any empathy towards anyone, Starmer just comes across as a robot without a care in the World. A disgusting Government of clueless, inept individuals.
I read yesterday that someone knew an elderly couple who had been found de@d of hypothermia in their home.
@@evelynhillier2877 If true, it needs to be reported to the media (not the Guardian though). This needs to make the front page and main news headlines, not that the BBC will want to cover it though.
that could have been anyones mother so shocking to here that caller
I hope all the listeners who voted Labour are pleased with themselves. This government has failed at every turn other than enriching their union paymasters.
How many will admit to voting for Labour now I wonder
I didn’t vote for them but I don’t blame those that did, they manipulated the voters. People were unsure of Reform and we’d all had enough of the Tories. But Starmer has done so much worse. It’s a travesty. None of them should be in these positions, the two most important were not qualified to make such decisions that have crippled the majority of us and now they’ve put us in a dangerous position with Russia. They have such a cavalier attitude and they are a huge threat to the safety and wellbeing of England. Starmer and Rachel Reeves need psychiatric assessments at the very least they are compulsive liars and Sociopaths. They are delusional loose canons.
Tories same those cost of living allowances were only to win votes and wound down
Reform voters splitting the Tory vote to blame
Can’t live the rest of my retirement without feeling traumatised,a big thank you to all who voted Labour 🏴
I am another pensioner, left school at fifteen got a job straight away and always worked till i retired at sixty five, i am now seventy five. I live alone in a sheltered housing complex along with many others in a similar situation. I'm frightened to put my heating on and can only trust putting in on for an hour morning and evening in case i get a big bill. I just put extra layers of clothes on, but it's also depressing because you're frightened to put your tele on. It is truly awful being old and afraid to live a normal life. I despise STARMER and this Labour government it is disgraceful what they're doing to their OWN people especially when it is not necessary. He is one evil, spiteful man.
Yes agree he's pure evil just wants to kill us of hypothermia will kill a lot this winter they don't care 😢
This Government is a disgrace - not one member of the Cabinet is fit for purpose!
Starmer said he was going to REDUCE STANDING CHARGES. These charging are bare faces ROBERY. How many times do we pay for a meter costing a few hundred pounds. It's a made up charge.
Also, why do we have these independent power companies at all? We could pay bills directly to the National Grid, which the Taxpayer already owns. There should be no private companies involved in any power supplies or water.
........well said Phil x x
It's for the 25% green levy hidden in our utility bills.
@@69spook 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I thought the government have taken over the national grid
Starmer should be made to sit down and listen to this lady
He wouldn't care.
He will just say "we had to make difficult decisions" and continue to have his own house warm😢
He has no empathy.
He did it before while in opposition. Made all the right noises. First thing his chancellor did, cancel heating allowance
He's lower than a snakes belly
He won't care they know the consequences
Rachel Reeves. Destined to live out the rest of her life known as Granny Killer Reeves. Some legacy.
Her listed name still isn't as long as Starmers.
Deed poll will have problems changing his, at this rate it won't fit on the form !!!
I'm struggling already, god help our poor pensioners. Alot of them are on blood thinners also, which makes them even colder. Labour are cruel
That is a very valid point, I'm 70 and on warfarin myself but in the very lucky position of being able to pay increased energy bills. However I use a heated throw to watch tv, read etc not have the central heating on. They cost pennies to run. If only there could be some way of organising these to be distributed to 'needy' pensioners God bless them. Its heart breaking.
We all must sacrifice so Sir Keir can wear those designer clothes. He is the darling of the political world.
hOW ON EARTH DOES THAT STARMER SLEEP AT NIGHT HES PUR EVIL
I don’t think he is. I live in Australia and news coverage on him is really bad and not very flattering! He wouldn’t last two minutes out here! Tony Abbot once said politics in the uk is toxic while politics in Australia is brutal, and that’s a very apt assessment!
A friend of mine had an elderly neighbour knocking on her door yesterday asking if she had any spare blankets How disgusting is the Labour Government
Socialism is a beautiful thing.
The misery that it creates is shared equally...
No it isn't - the illegals are getting everything for free including warmth. And the MPs can claim for their heating.
Well said!
Is ironic that there is no money to keep pensioners warm and fed but unending money for Illegals and Ukraine.
Mike Graham is a brilliant journalist
This is absolutely heartbreaking that poor lady it's freezing outside and she can't even keep herself warm just awful. God bless you.
A third of all energy bills goes to the government in tax
That elderly lady I’m heartbroken 💔 absolutely heartbroken
I've seen a few comments in sympathy with the old lady, who still gets the WFA and so must therefore be also on pension credit, which I totally understand so imagine what it must be like for those people just above pension credit having £219 per week and not getting any pension credit or WFA payment.🤔
Tough. I get into arguments with the "rich pensioners" brigade.
I ask them to tell me what income for a pensioner is "rich"
Oddly they never commit themselves to an answer.
THAT IS THE QUESTION THOUGH, what should be a living pension for the non "rich " 73% pensioners in the UK ?
Yes I'm one of them I'm 70 had cancer op in March and I'm too scared to put heating on its heat or eat for many of us and you feel the cold more when old
@@lindaoxtoby160 scary for you, so sorry. I hope that you'll be ok.
I can recommend a longline fleecy lined hoodie, doesn't need to be expensive and definitely helps over clothes.
You know who's have some, think 12.00? Hope this info helps.
All the best
I lived in a 5 bedroom semi in the north of England until 2020 and my combined gas and elec were £70 a month. The increases since then have been ridiculous but expected with the green policies. I now live in Thailand, a two bedroom house with garden, my electricity less than £20 a month, water under £5 even though I water the garden twice a day for most of the year. Pensioners should leave the UK if they can.
What are we paying the most expensive prices for electricity and gas in the world? I got told so why is that? Why are we the most expensive?
Suzanna caught him out there!!! Magic!
Mrs H 🇬🇧 ...Totally heinous .. There has to be a resolve of this Government... Send that footage to the KING.....
Why, he's on their side 🤷
Do you think the so called king cares? Absolutely not. He doesn't give a toss about his British subjects, he cares more for all the illegals
King enrich himself and his nomcey friends. Yeah I will get right on it 🙄
As a perished pensioner i have just had to turn my heating up a couple of degrees. I have on four layers including two woollen sweaters. I have thick jogging bottoms on and this morning I've had to put my dressing gown on over my other clothes. I am still cold as, despite having carried out as much insulation as i can, as my home is an old cold house. We've been promised cheap energy for decades - I'm still waiting.
Best thing my son bought me
A longline hooded fleece lined hoodie and a pair of fleece boots.
Helps to cope.
But at nearly 70 question is why in winter I have to dress like a yeti to stay warm and save money ?
how can they justify claiming the allowances for themselves while taking it away from our elderly workers some might not be working now but some have worked for decades its unacceptable disgraceful utterly disgusting ... why work?????
They are greedy
Greedy immoral b@stards that's why
Its disgusting and millions get warm in a hotel i am ashamed the government need to go
It’s totally heartbreaking for pensioners
There has to be a process whereby another general election can be called. Surely this cannot continue and the newly elected labour MPs didn’t sign up for this. Then again maybe they did as they are all rotten to the core.
There used to be a system whereby local constituents could recall their local MP. But I'm no expert and would imagine they've probably closed that loop hole by now.
Spot on, ALL ROTTEN.
From your lips to God's ear. I'm sure there must be a way to get them out
I believe,the Labour Party has to have so many politicians to vote Starmer out. Like they did with Boris.
@ They won’t vote against labour if a vote of no confidence is successful and a general election is called as they know they won’t win back their seat. They should do the decent thing and switch parties so at least they have a chance of regaining their seat.
Energy price rises are out of control.
I'm sick of these politicians. The natives are under attack. Where is our King?
Living in luxury waited on hand and foot 🏴
@@tabitha4135 exactly!
i am sobbing, its too hard to listen too I am so ashamed of my country
I wouldn't bother complaining the government and our King don't care.
Dont bring the King into this. Why can't people understand that he is a CONSTITUTIONAL monarch.(look it up) , not an ABSOLUTE monarch, again (look it up!). He has NO political power, none at all!. Have you folk got that?
The King.does care. Why can't people understand that he is a CONSTITUTIONAL Monarch, not an ABSOLUTE one! (Look it up) He has no political power whatsoever!
Horrible, when we printed 0.6 trillion because every life mattered during covid and now nothing. Heating for boat travellers
Meanwhile these Politicians are getting thousands to pay for their heating, free homes to live in, and for second homes too. Shame on them.
And yet they look after illegal immigrants in 4 star hotels.
They got it wrong, ‘freeze the energy prices’ quoted was supposed to be ‘ we will freeze the pensioners’ well they are certainly doing that.
How do our MPs have the effrontery to accept payment and put in claims for expenses for sitting on their backsides while our elderly are freezing for want of a few extra £s a week?
They're not Labour and Conservatives are not Conservative either. They're both something else.
They are both WEFminster w⚓️s!
Very true!
@@Joy-w5j totally!
Surely 10 year’s solitary confinement for hate against pensioners HEALTH and values
Listening to that lady was truly upsetting, but I doubt if Reeves or Starmer would blink an eye, they are a disgrace and the country will never forget or forgive! I am 73 and have never, ever know anything like this appalling government!
This is heartbreaking poor woman and many more like her!! Starmer should be totally ashamed!!! I thought tories were evil but liebor are a million times worse I'm DISGUSTED that they are allowed to do this!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
.........this Liebour-Lot have ALWAYS been a......"Do As WE TELL You + NOT As We Do!"
semi-Commie gang of "thinly-disguised Champagne Socialist-Fakes!"

He knows no shame, narcissistic dictators don't have ANY finer feelings !
How low are this government going for pensioners my personal feeling is it’s called a “culling”poor elderly folk cought in a web of cold pain and injustice.
I cant say what i really think. Id get banned
You mean imprisoned don't you......this government is despicable
Me too.
It is grotesquely disgusting that in an age when energy should be abundant and cheap that most families, especially old people living alone, are basically freezing cold in their homes and cannot afford to heat them . The cost of electricity seems to have been manipulated ,in my opinion, to ration it by cost. If the price of energy was at the normal rate then a lot more would be used and the new energy infrastructure in this country could not cope ,with its windmills and solar panels . If people were able to use energy at the proper rate there would be frequent power cuts. This is a consequence of ideology.
Because all these big companies are so bl**dy greedy. More,more more.
ashamed nay more angry.
I am seriously thinking about writing to Mr Trump to ask if he can help our poor pensioners....Our government isn’t going to do anything!! We are becoming a third world country in our living standards. Remember...No Votes for Lie..bour at the local elections in May!!! I will be voting for Reform 😃
I wouldnt be at all surprised to see Elon step in with an affordable enrgy solution for the UK at the very least - That man is Truly empathic :) - The only man in power I trust
The fact that they are spending millions to look after foreign men who have entered illegally completely destroys any reason they say they have for scrapping the pensioners fuel allowance
It really is showing their priorities isn't it
Rubs salt into already open wounds
Yes pensioners like me paying for there hotel accommodation I'm 70 and it's just terrible struggling
I am 80 years old and dare not put my heating on at all,😢😢😢😢
Absolutely disgusting I cried it's heartbreaking 😢
Drain starmers swamp
470 people taken at public expense to the Climate Change summit - how ironic and stupid that is. The cost in money and carbon is enormous. If we were serious about carbon emissions we should be having video conferences instead of flying round the world.
Absolutely no confidence in this government 100%
Wow this was harrowing listening to that lady break down.
I'm a 68 year old pensioner. There's snow outside for the last three days, I'm in bed under the covers, I cant get my feet warm & I have my heating turned down low due to the f👀king government.
This poor lady is the same age as my mum for gods sake
