Heating Allowance

I have emailed my MP Kate Osbourne requesting that she votes against the Governments proposal to Rob pensioners of their heating allowance. I look forward to her response !

I have also emailed my MP Mac - I suspect that it will not change things, but you have to try.

Starmer has caused nothing but disruption. I think his plan is to rob us pensioners to keep the immigrants. Also I was watching the TV and saw immigrants with phones and i-pads. They didn't come by boat either.

I signed the Age Concern partition which I hear is up in the many thousands now.

Apparently Starmer has relented and this topic will be discussed in Parliament then a Vote will be allowed, personally I don’t think RR will relent on this matter, as previously mentioned her ‘Advisor’ is very anti Pensioners, thinks we get far too much monetary wise from the Government.

To be honest I think that RR has shot her self in the foot, in order to ‘save’ money by stopping the WFA Pensioners who haven’t previously claimed certain credits/benefits before are now doing so, paying these extra amounts will cost the Government more than paying WFA, still never mind eh so long as there is enough money to pay illegal migrants to live comfortably, give huge increases to Unions, keep the Civil Servants happy, not forgetting sending Aid to countries who don’t need it, everything will be fine even if a few thousand pensioners can’t heat their homes, why should the Government care??

This new Government is a total disgrace, done more harm in a few months since gaining power, sadly we are stuck with them, hope people who voted Labour are very proud to see their elderly parents and grandparents robbed, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask And Robin Hood in reverse, robbing the poor to help the rich !

Well said Mac Hardy.
There must be lots of other ways to save money.
Could the UK manage without the 'House of Lords'
What exactly are they needed for?
I'm sure we could manage very well without them.
