And how dare you describe the PM with a term coined by a previous PM who was thrown out of parliament for lying
angry

Is this the first time The Happy Gardner has posted on gransnet? If so I can only question their motive for doing so and wonder why they think we are so naive.

No, not the first time MayBee70 but certainly it might be the last - what a judgmental bunch if someone posts something you don’t agree with!

Blimey …. at no point did I infer anyone HAD to share it, I just thought it would be interesting to some …. each to their own of course

So, have you posted before or have you joined gransnet purely to get people to share it?

Absolutely not!

My reasons are as follows:

1) Not on FB.

2) Wouldn’t share anything that couldn’t be verified by a reputable source.

3) FB is NOT a reputable source.

4) Suspicious of anyone saying ‘share this far and wide’.

No thanks!

Perhaps the problem is that the Pension Credit level is set too low? If it was higher, then pensioners who are just above the current limit would be able to benefit. I’m quite unable to understand why a pensioner on Pension Credit is supposed to manage on approximately £11,500 a year, whilst minimum wage brings in approximately £20,000 a year. I’m afraid those two facts defeat all reasoning to me.

As far as I am concernedd -and I have ever never voted Labour - . Keir Starmer stands head and shoulders above the shower he replaced.

As for the withdrawal of the Winter Fuel payment. I agree that the issue has not been handled well and they should have thought about those whose income is just above PC level, but as a confortabley off pensioner I am more than happy to manage with our the WFP and I see no reason why better off pensioners should get it.

I'm not on Facebook so can't see the link but is this just another jibe at Starmer?

I won't thank you. I wouldn't trust anything unverified from Facebook.

(Apologies to those who don’t have FB and can’t see the content - I couldn’t work out another way of copying the video)
I think anyone who, like me, feels aggrieved by Labour’s decision on the pensioners’ winter fuel payment should share this video far and wide on social media - maybe it can force a discussion at Prime Minister’s Question Time??
