Starmer braces for rebellion over cut to winter fuel payments

It promises to be another tough week for the Prime Minister.

He’s been defending his plan to cut winter fuel payments for all but the poorest pensioners, ahead of another potential rebellion this week.

He says he is determined to deliver the change he campaigned on, but that means doing the difficult things now, even if it makes his government unpopular.

  1. Unpopular? More like Nemesis. This incarnate of a devil and the rest of his minions, rob away billions of pounds from citizens, and they can't let elderly, low wagers and disabled stay warm during winter. Officially, their annual salary is at least in the 7 digits. How can they get paid millions and be ethically okay knowing that people will die? Why are they allowed to dine in expensive restaurants and buy multiple properties whilst the poor and elderly freeze to death?

  2. Millions sent to Ukraine by Britain . Yet fuel cuts for pensioners . That's 100 % wrong. If the cold doesn't kill them, missing meals to pay the bills will.

  3. Not only is he taken the winter fuel away from the pensioners. When you think about it. He taking Christmas away as well. Yet he can spend millions every week. On migrants. And millions on a war. So he has money to kill people. But no money to save lives. Mighrants who kill our children. Get everything give to them. Just like that. But someone who fought for this country. Gets told to die. But I know the people of this country will stop. This evil government. Soon.

  7. Unpopular.? The man is deluded. He’s hated. He warned his party MP’s vote for the winter fuel cut or you are out of the party. That a fixed vote and must be punished by a jail sentence. He’s as corrupt as all the days long, evil and cruel. But worst of all he is a lawyer and you can never ever trust them.

  8. Guy Fawkes knew what he was doing, shame he was betrayed by MP’s and paid with his life. Makes you think doesn’t it. GF has become my hero.
