Russia has 13 ‘HERO’ Cities, normally used to accommodate those that have shown outstanding bravery. However members of our armed services have the same mortgage rights as others along with their partners, if it’s council type accommodation that you are referring to perhaps they should build their own on MOD land.

 

When I said the latter I was referring the the MOD

They are not. The Tories would have continued with the triple lock but not withdrawn  the winter fuel allowance.  Sir Keir Starmer is telling porkies which is why he was thinking about sausages.

Who's running the country Sue Gray and Lord Ali or someone that doesn't know the difference between sausages and hostages

They're referring to the annual increases every April. They could have delayed scrapping the winter fuel allowance until next winter but apparantly that would have crashed the economy, even though £11.1 billion in foreign aid won't.

The state pension went up £900 in April, there's the £200 winter fuel payment, and another £700 - on it's own the biggest increase ever - by miles.
