Starting with the thousands towards their own energy bills. How dare they take that while endangering up to 4000 pensioners lives by their last assessment!
Mrs. Thatcher asked the same question in the eighties and brought in the Poll tax to try to make it fairer. She broached a figure of £150 from everyone over 18 who was in full time work. The furore this caused, mostly from Labour supporters put pay to the idea.
I don't for the life of me know how most single occupancy house holds are going to be able to afford to pay 100% council tax . It's a struggle with the 25 % reduction
Betrayal?? The most entitled generation ever! I'm more worried about kids going to bed hungry than entitled rich pensioners not getting their winter bills paid for 😂🎉🎉
@@marianogoncalves18 Most pensioners are not rich. Millions of them live in private rented or council homes. If you're worried about the rich getting the allowance just tax them more. But notice Labour don't. Of course if they did they'd be raising their own taxes as MPs earn over £91,000 a year plus allowances & benefits not available to the public.

Whatever way you look at it, cutting the winter fuel benefit is cynical, calculated and cannot be defended on any level. If they stop the 25% discount on council tax for single occupancy and charge National Insurance for people over pension age who are still working, then they compound the problem and show the true colours of the Labour Party.
I dont mind cutting the winter fuel bill if it was actually means tested but almost 90% of pensioners have lost it and there's no way that 90% of all pensioners in this country are very wealthy.
I hate both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. Both of them absolutely abhor the working class people of this country. They act like they want us all to die or something.
Starmer should answer now about the single person council tax reduction.Millions are worried about losing it and do not want to be kept waiting another 6 WEEKS to find out.
Why should single adults pay 100% of the rate of council-tax? You won't get double the amount of services from the council as a couple (or more) paying 50% each. Maybe council-tax should become per-person, rather-than per-property? 🤔
(Oh and before anyone says: "Thatcher tried that, it was called The Poll Tax, and look how well that went". Sure, but I feel it's an idea we need to revisit. We have houses and flats now where you can have groups of adults living there, and if Council Tax was say £1600 a year, that's £800 between two... £400 between four... or £1200 for one person. Isn't Labour supposed to be the party of fairness for everyday people?)
I’m a 39 year old widow and single mum of two kids. One of only benefits of being a widow is the discount. Would starmer want me to choose between feeding and heating my kids and paying more council tax?
I'm in a similar position to you! Aged 40, lost my partner and have 3 kids, cost of childcare, increased bills and potentially increased council tax is crippling!
My council tax is more than my weekly rent even with discount. They r just pushing us into to poverty. Most of wages go to rent, council tax and bills. If we can homework then travel money saved means you can eat
I'm only on 273 pounds per month, an leave electric and gas turned off as it is if I loose the single persons discount I can't pay the full council tax, so I will claim benefits for ergent help. It's just scary now this nasty government.
Starmer really got it in for OAPs. Not a good look giving well off train drivers a big pay rise, housing migrants in hotels & spending a fortune on foreign aid & Ukraine. Then Starmer says we got no money look out pensioners.

Do MPs pay council tax on their second homes? If not, why not, its about time in was changed, as a pensioner I don't use half the services they provide and what they do provide their standards aren't great.

Except it most certainly does pay to work, as a retired benefits officer I can tell you that people are made to jump through hoops for the pittance they receive, sanctioned for any excuse and left with no money for weeks, months and sadly years resulting in the huge rise in poverty, homelessness, inequality and suicides, plus after pensioners ( pension credit because pensions are too low) the majority of people claiming benefits are people in work, either because of low pay, zero hour contracts or both!
This governments a jokes..... 😂 Let's make the poor people's lives harder while sat here laughing and giggling. Like life not already tough for the poor.....
Pointless working full time to pay too many taxes, do the bare minimum, and enjoy life; they might even raise the pension retirement age to 70. Hard- work doesn't cut it anymore. This is crazy. Imagine take-home pay is £1200. Council tax is £250. Holy cow, you also got rent, energy, food, and Ni, pension. Better off on universal credit with a 18 hour job and enjoy yourself less stress.
And yet, oddly enough, the last Labour Chancellor in office left a note in the Treasury office, stating there was no money left...... Ask yourself why so many Labour run Councils are virtually bankrupt........
I am a single Pensioner.. currently get the 25percent discount.. We as in Worcestershire also pay towards social care police, many other things to the council.. this 1 person allowance must be kept.. Starmer needs to be working for the people.. not dictating.. resign
Right now I pay £114 a month if they take away the 25% I’ll be paying £159, where do I get the extra from? I’m already on just above the minimum wage. This will a big deal to me, I don’t get benefits, I hate the nasty piece of work that’s in charge of this country now!
Loss of winter fuel allowance £200 plus loss of single person allowance £435 means that I will not be heating my home AND will have to reduce the amount I eat. £50 per month may not seem much to many working people but to me it's a small fortune. Happy Christmas.
You cant blame the voter who did not know that the winter fuel allowance would be scrapped this winter because the vote came before the budget. I voted Green party by the way.
Am expecting free prescriptions for pensioners to be on the hit list, if they don’t get us with the cold they’ll do it by denying the elderly their medication !
This is phenomenally unfair, effectively applying a tax on being single, and will be enough to make MILLIONS take to the streets. I'm going to be one of them.
Single pensioners with £10000 in the bank can't claim pension credit and so will lose their 300. That £1000 is for their funeral. Now they lose their 25@@% rebait. That's approx £800 a year that Bonny and Clyde have taken
Its a doubler whammy. Winter fuel and council tax increase., After covid another way to get the elderly population down. Still at least Starmer can tell everyone want a great statesman he is giving money to countries that don't need it.
So Britain is broken, and those with the broadest shoulders have to carry the weight, so let's start with the pensioners? Boy, you've got to carry that weight a long time.

Are they trying to imply everyone has to be married or have a partner, and they can't be independent if they want? Can they explain to me how I am supposed to work double the hours or take on two full-time jobs to compensate for this potential council tax rise? I am not a pensioner, but working two full-time jobs would be logistically impossible and they are going to be forcing people out of their homes! Shame!

Not only that, it often took forever to replace something we could have got from WHSmiths or even the local supermarket. It's so inefficiently managed imo.
Labour are the oits . Im widiwed and have been for many years . I get the single person discount . Im not penion age and working but to have to pay the whole amount is unacceptable. Why should i psy the full amount when on my own
For example, HSBC Bank made 23 billion pounds profit, and there are many such banks, so a small contribution from them would almost eliminate the black hole they are seeking to fill.
I am a single householder and therefore do not use the council facilities as often as a family householder, there are many instances but one is refuge collection my bin only needs emptying every three weeks unlike my neighbours who put theirs out weekly. I know Starmer is out to punish residents of Britain, and I know immigrants come first.
They should ask the public about scrapping all expenses on mps should work both ways but of course it doesn't, rule for one, rule for the working class and pensioners .
So it looks like the single person’s 50% increase in council tax is going to be going up to 100%. I can’t wait to have even less money than I already do.

Labour are the oits . Im widiwed and have been for many years . I get the single person discount . Im not penion age and working but to have to pay the whole amount is unacceptable. Why should i psy the full amount when on my own
Try going after the big fish not the little fish!..disgusting.
Yeah but they're all leaving and taking their money with them
Unfortunately, the little fish are easier to catch. The big fish hide behind loopholes and shady rules.
No mention of a windfall tax on the Oil & Gas conglomerates. 😡😡
For example, HSBC Bank made 23 billion pounds profit, and there are many such banks, so a small contribution from them would almost eliminate the black hole they are seeking to fill.
Domestic abuse victims werent warned that their abisers were being let out 🥺🤬
Pretty shameful from Labour lady you are in government stop blaming others and get on with it
Tax the rich not the poor that's evil .
They also did not rule out scrapping the Freedom Pass and free prescriptions for OAPs.
That Labour Peer's pants are on fire!
We have to pay £40 for the green bin wouldn't surprise me if we get charged for general & recycling next
Only £40 lucky you I have to pay £65
I am a single householder and therefore do not use the council facilities as often as a family householder, there are many instances but one is refuge collection my bin only needs emptying every three weeks unlike my neighbours who put theirs out weekly. I know Starmer is out to punish residents of Britain, and I know immigrants come first.
He cutting pip that's next and making disabled people work all this to come yet
Are these people celebrities or politicians???!!! They shouldn't be in any show...
They should ask the public about scrapping all expenses on mps should work both ways but of course it doesn't, rule for one, rule for the working class and pensioners .
Didn’t he promise to cut the council tax?
Why is this chap still on our TV screens 🤦♂️
Starmer is a Robot, I really don't like the man
2 Tier and his crew. Need's to be got out...As soon as possible. No confidence vote.
They forget they are the servants of the people
Oh goody! If you live alone your and your council tax is £2100 then it is about to go up by £700 . Yes, up by a third!
So it looks like the single person’s 50% increase in council tax is going to be going up to 100%. I can’t wait to have even less money than I already do.
Just don't pay it can't put us all in prison, but at least will be warm and fed in their and bexwith my friends
UK IN SERIOUS CRISIS
I agree he shouldn’t be given a platform at all.
