I remember you agreeing with a post of mine where I said the fuel allowance should be targeted but the threshold of £11,400 was too low and should be raised by referring to people's tax codes.

I absolutely agree with that.

Yea . Freezing them to death 

Though to be fair Hacks, should Starmer get the NHS back on its feet like the previous Labour gov did, then that'd save many a pensioner's life

Winters used to be colder, anyone over the age of 60 will remember the winters the UK used to have before the war

Not all of them, some of us voted to remain! 🙄

Keep preserving with the Brexit nonsense but nobody's interested in the slightest. 

 

You might want to dig up the old 'Consequences of Brexit' thread, if you can find it & gather that dwindling band of Remainers support group round you one again.

The necessity for these benefit cuts is primarily a result of the fiscal black hole that resulted from Brexit, your choices, of course you're not interested, you're too busy trying to pin the blame on someone else, anyone else!

 

Just like Brexiteers have spent the last 8 years doing, despite being in charge.

The subject of Brexit is entirely relevant to this (and many other) threads.

 

They're not dwindling, quite the opposite!
