Good policy? I’ve read some absolute whoppers on here but congratulations you win the internet today.

1m pensioners live on under £269 a week who aren’t eligible for pension credits disagree it’s good policy. They won’t ever get back control of the narrative without cancelling the policy and redoing it at sensible levels.

Ah fuck it I’ll entertain you, where is the evidence of a huge surge in applications from people previously eligible but didn’t claim?

why should pensioners have there fuel paid for regardless of wealth income how they budget ? What would we say to someone of working age who falls on hard times but cannot afford their bills ? Get a job ? Get a second job ? Downsize ? Get a loan ? Stop having Netflix or avocado on toast ?

I’ll leave you to it though, not up for a fractious or disingenuous debate about it.

There was an increase in the claims made in the 8 weeks after Reeves announcement however since start of September claims are now declining.

None of that helps the 1m pensioners living on £219-£269 a week though who aren’t eligible. Good policy my arse.

And remind me where I said that in the comment you initially replied to, or that I agreed with the implementation of it, pretty sure I said the exact opposite…

I said it will end up a good policy if they change their narrative and reasoning for it. Not having it as a means tested benefit is stupid. It needed easier access to the other benefits too and acceptance that the end result would be a net loss rather than a potential money saver.

You mean because she campaigned saying one thing, and when elected did something else?

Because she has had freebies because she should stand down and have a bi election if she feels like this rather than take a pension and pay and not represent the people who voted labour

They didn’t vote Labour, they voted for her. That’s our wanky electoral system, which the current government seems to be happy with, funnily enough.

Was hoping the Sunday papers would run with the Starmer story

Can’t be long till it all spills out

I doubt Starmer would be embroiled on a sex scandal.

From the looks of him he probably shags like he's reading how to do it from an IKEA instruction manual.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Maybe there isn’t one then

This is the most plausible answer.

He's a great civil servant. I think he puts that's over everything else. Starmer wants to leave the country in a better place when he fucks off.

I think his dedication to the civil service trumps party and possibly his own ideology. With a sideline of acting like Stalin within the party the leads. You disagree with him, you're out.

He has a problem with women and has surrounded himself with young men Mmm - No wonder Lord Ali wanted a 10 Downing Street pass !
