They could stop the boats immediately - They don't want to. They could operate a sensible policing and justice policy - They don't want to.

I'm a pensioner I was forced to work until I was 65 worked since I was 15, I thought I would be OK when I retired? But I think they want us to die? So they don't have to pay us.😢 I'm 71
Here’s a thought: stop spending £8,000,000 a day (£2.92 billion per year) on costs associated with foreign illegal migrants, and then eliminate the £42,192,000 spent daily (£15.4 billion annually) on foreign aid-a budget that often props up corrupt dictatorships and oppressive regimes, rarely benefitting the people it is supposedly meant to help. Together, these two changes could save the UK an astonishing £50,192,000 every single day, amounting to £18.32 billion a year. Imagine redirecting this money towards our struggling NHS, tackling the housing crisis, improving education, supporting infrastructure, or giving much-needed increases to pensioners who have worked hard their entire lives. Isn’t it time we prioritised our own citizens and ensured our taxes deliver real value at home?
I feel a bit sorry for some of them coz they actually believed KS lies & now they've got to live with it & wots the betting the majority are pensioners.
Let’s be fair please those that voted Labour did so on a manifesto that said nothing about these policy changes . They had they said a fully costed and funded plan and then lied about a 20bn black hole - even if this were true they have put up taxes by £42bn and changed the rules to borrow £30bn more . That’s £50 bn above the so called black hole ….NONE NENTIONED IN MANIFESTO BEFORE THE ELECTION LABOUR VOTERS GAVE BEEN MISLED !

We, inspired of our talk of being free are dependent without really knowing it.
If they the government from this country give money to other countries they should ask the people of the UK do they want to give their tax money to other countries in the harsh times of today they would say NO feed the people of this country first before other countries. Just madness.
They want to force farmers out so they can build more houses to put illegals who’ve never contributed a penny to this country in them. We should get behind our farmers them today us tomorrow.

Nor do pensioners. I know because I am one and totally reliant on the state pension. It is not only ample but lavish. And, for the country, unaffordable.
Taking the winter allowance needed by the pensioners, not giving a toss about it, and simply heating hotels, full on, all winter, for those who have NEVER paid a penny into the system. How on earth can that not resignate with these people?

Are you seriously telling me £218 for a single pensioner EACH WEEK isn't enough??

Rachel Thieves didn’t think thru the consequences of the budget because she isn’t an economist and neither she or any of the cabinet have ever run a business - it’s as simple as that !
I’ll stop spending on luxuries and concentrate on the basics. We are lucky enough to not go without, but we are not spending on the fancy stuff. I won’t be putting extra spending into the economy.
Im 67 worked all my life without a day off sick(not one day) paid all my dues and now struggle (with remitting cancer) to heat my home because i frankly cant afford to ! Shame on this uncaring Gov 😢
My blood is boiling, pensioners being deprived of winter fuel allowance whilst people, criminals who illegally entered our country are living it up. 4 Star hotels, heating 3 meals a day no bills all mod cons handout every week.They are giving nothing in return unlike pensioners who paid in all their .lives. Where's the justice in that, it's a nightmare. It's costing 56 million per week to house these people. They are not refugees they came here from a safe country. They are economic migrants all fighting age men doing nothing and being allowed to roam freely making our people uneasy. I pity anyone trying to sell a house with that lot on their doorstep. I despair.
I know how you feel especially when you see African people driving cars in which a lot of British people can't afford because of being on a low wage and of course you got the running costs of a vehicle, insurance, tax and any repairs etc. To sum it up it makes me sick 🤢🤢 .

I'm a pensioner, I live in a village with no mains gas. I have to use LPG which lasts around 5 weeks if I have the heating on 2 hours a day. That costs £165. So additionally I use logs to burn. They cost £200 cubic metre. I just bought £400 worth which may last until end February. Plus 20kg coal which cost £13 week if the weather is really cold.... then electricity on top. This is a nightmare for those like me who live in rural locations without mains gas. The fuel payment was a great help for us. This government doesn't have a clue!
This government has every clue. Starmer himself did an impact statement some years ago and estimated the number of pensioners who would die if their WFA was removed.
@malindsell. I am so sorry to hear this. We are pensioners we pay between £150 to £200 per month for Gas and Electric. We pay this all year so that we won’t have to worry or freeze during the winter. Now food costs have gone up so high life is a struggle we used to just manage on an average of £100 per week. For the same food we would now need between £200 & £250. We can’t afford to spend that amount each week. So we are missing out on main meals just to scrape by. Our other out goings are £650 per month. We try not to use our car as it costs £100 to fill up. We also have yearly outgoings on top. I can’t understand why we pensioners are being targeted by this Government. The hardship they a causing is EVIL.
@ Thank you for sharing. Yes, spreading the cost by paying by direct debit is a great help. We do that for our electricity which is £90 / month, and we are very careful how much we use. We stopped watching TV in the evening and now read instead! Sadly, we can’t pay for logs and coal this way. Logs we have to buy twice a year and coal we buy from Lidl, where it’s cheaper. We’ve also cut down to two meals a day, etc. My thoughts are with you. All the years we paid our taxes and NI contributions, we never thought it would turn out like this, did we?
My wife who has an incurable progressive disease and is in a wheelchair worked until she was 81 years old .... I who also have a incurable progressive disease....am the primary carer for my wife and I worked until I was 75 ....albeit not very hard. We were really touched when the BBC cancelled free licences for the over 75,s and have cancelled our subscription to this communist organisation. This year on top of the fact that we have once again joined the taxpayers of this once great country have been deprived of our fuel allowance by a marxist government. No problem we will get through the winter thanks to my trusty chain saw and several tree surgeons who are now unable to sell logs because they have no means of kiln drying them who kindly leave them on my driveway they are passing. What is my point I hear you ask .... life is hard and Never Expect a free ride even if you have paid in for 60 years the jealous lefties will find a way to f..k you.
never a truer word said and the A-Holes expect people to rush to serve when this coming war kicks off, They have not got a prayer of that this Country is not worth fighting for.
Easy fix. Stop supplying countries with space programmes our tax money stop paying billions for boat people . use our money on our own people and treat pensioners who have paid all their lives and fought wars for this country enough to heat their house and have at least 1 hot meal a day.
The best, most obvious fix would be to stop wasting £ millions a day on illegals, do as the French do, give them NOTHING, the city mayors in France are now saying the truth, their own nation is full of them because they know once in the disUnited Kingdom, they are set for life at our expense.
Funny how pensioners have to go through a means test before they qualify for the winter fuel allowance and yet Rachel Reeves is just handed her fuel allowance even though she’s getting well paid for doing fek all!
Certain individuals and pseudo political bodies,want to reduce the human race ,1st COVID now the elderly,heating allowance, NHS is already stretched,wait till it's really cold.
Its not just the elderly who are afraid to switch on the heating. The disabled are too. I'm disabled, living in Scotland and I'm scared of putting it on and it has been freezing. I'm not asking for handouts, I want the government to do something about OFGEM lowering prices. I don't begrudge the pensioners their payments, they desperately need them. In fact, even getting the payments doesn't do much to help pensioners. Its a disgrace.
No politician has or will never discuss the staggering expense of the asylum problem ! And before some idiot says it l have never been a racist. My family is multi cultural !

@@jjefferyworboys8138 And your explanation is? If you are going to comment, back it up.

In April 2024, Rachel Reeves told the press how she had met an elderly lady, while campaigning, whose hands were blue with the cold, because she couldn't afford to heat her home. She pledged, at the time to help such people. Now in Autumn 2024 after Labour have come to power we can judge her and her cronies, by their actions. Winter heating allowance for the elderly scrapped, and insane green energy policies which are causing energy prices to sky-rocket. Evil is the word!

I live in a one-bed flat. Heating 1 room only. It is awful going to the kitchen to make something to eat when it is so cold. I am 72 & worked since I left school at 15 in 1967. My pension is just above the cut-off point meaning I lost my heating help. Which is a pittance. Reeves earns £170,000 plus and has a huge expenses allowance. As well as freebies. It is outrageous not paying for your clothes etc. In the insect world, they are called parasites. We have to kick labour out we cannot survive for 5 years.

At nearly 80, my wife and I have lost our winter fuel allowance. We cannot afford to heat our home except in the coldest weather. It was minus one on Thursday but if we put the heating on we will not be able to afford a long spell of such weather. We wrapped up warm during the day and retired early, only to wake with ice on the inside of our windows and spent the morning in Tesco's cafe over cups of tea. When we returned to our home, my wife was so cold that I had to put the heating on for an hour. We have only one light burning at a time and used the microwave to heat some beans and the toaster for beans on toast. We again went to bed early and listened to the radio, that’s our life now, thanks to Labour.
It’s disgusting how they are treating pensioners and everyone else who is struggling with bills. It seems unfair that pensioners who have put into this country all their lives and then you have illegal immigrants being putting up in nice warm hotels, getting fed, NHS on site etc. it is not right or fair.

Why are they giving money to foreign farmers.
Three s a ov e to bigger and bigger government, so they want to make people round the world more dependent and gratefully so they won't object. The big banks, overarching self declared authorities like the WHO, Nato, the EU, Black rock already have huge power over much of the west, the farmers in African and South American countries may be poor, but they are independent. We, inspired of our talk of being free are dependent without really knowing it.
If they the government from this country give money to other countries they should ask the people of the UK do they want to give their tax money to other countries in the harsh times of today they would say NO feed the people of this country first before other countries. Just madness.
So they can get rid of ours to get their handsvon land. Its land clearance...serving foreign aims...
That Money belongs to our farmers , let's sort our country out first, because give them free money, encourages laziness in their own Farmers...
They want to force farmers out so they can build more houses to put illegals who’ve never contributed a penny to this country in them. We should get behind our farmers them today us tomorrow.

I'm a pensioner, I live in a village with no mains gas. I have to use LPG which lasts around 5 weeks if I have the heating on 2 hours a day. That costs £165. So additionally I use logs to burn. They cost £200 cubic metre. I just bought £400 worth which may last until end February. Plus 20kg coal which cost £13 week if the weather is really cold.... then electricity on top. This is a nightmare for those like me who live in rural locations without mains gas. The fuel payment was a great help for us. This government doesn't have a clue!
not only does it not have a clue - it actually doesnt care either.
This government has every clue. Starmer himself did an impact statement some years ago and estimated the number of pensioners who would die if their WFA was removed.
@@suecharnock9369 What happened to the multi £millions saved on state pension payouts due to the covid extermination of us pensioners.
@malindsell. I am so sorry to hear this. We are pensioners we pay between £150 to £200 per month for Gas and Electric. We pay this all year so that we won’t have to worry or freeze during the winter. Now food costs have gone up so high life is a struggle we used to just manage on an average of £100 per week. For the same food we would now need between £200 & £250. We can’t afford to spend that amount each week. So we are missing out on main meals just to scrape by. Our other out goings are £650 per month. We try not to use our car as it costs £100 to fill up. We also have yearly outgoings on top. I can’t understand why we pensioners are being targeted by this Government. The hardship they a causing is EVIL.
@ Thank you for sharing. Yes, spreading the cost by paying by direct debit is a great help. We do that for our electricity which is £90 / month, and we are very careful how much we use. We stopped watching TV in the evening and now read instead! Sadly, we can’t pay for logs and coal this way. Logs we have to buy twice a year and coal we buy from Lidl, where it’s cheaper. We’ve also cut down to two meals a day, etc. My thoughts are with you. All the years we paid our taxes and NI contributions, we never thought it would turn out like this, did we?

No problem we will get through the winter thanks to my trusty chain saw and several tree surgeons who are now unable to sell logs because they have no means of kiln drying them who kindly leave them on my driveway they are passing.

Hearing pensioners on the radio sadly telling how they're sleeping with their pets to keep warm, and can't afford pet insurance for their only companion in their life, is the saddest thing I've ever heard in my life and we are meant to be one of the richest countries in the world?

So why did you forget the last Labour government?
