The letter is from the government and i am getting it and i dont have to apply or give them any information, you are thinking of the scheme that your local council has , they wanted all my finances so i chose not to apply
Not sure if it will help those losing WFA , hope soNice. Looks like there are some other options to the WFA.
I have been on the benefit for years , i have not changed my circumstances at all , be happy for me !No you have now qualified due to a change in your entitlement to a benefit is honestly has nothing to do with Labour, my Mrs has been receiving it for years. And I told you about it 2 years ago and you didn't want anyone going through your bank statements.

I used to get the WHD when it was the energy suppliers who decided who qualified. Then the last government stopped this and decided only people on PC could get it. The Cons' took that away and now Lab's have taken my WFA away.It is £150 warm home discount , it goes direct to your energy company , criteria is mega strict but i am on a means tested benefit so i am getting it , tories never gave it me despite being on the means tested benefit for a few years
What certain Labour voters want is a system where they save and keep all of their income but somebody else pays for everything else. And this is where the argument on socialism falls apart.
It goes completely against our human instincts which are tribal and not species collective.
A working person is someone whose main source of income is salary or pension. Any other definition is divisive - that CEO or MD is being paid, not for the work they do today, but for the 30-40 years of experience they have built to be able to deal with the shit that happens in those roles.
Of course, as you point out, there are plenty who are living pay day to pay day - the long term answer isn’t wealth redistribution through taxation but proper pay - although I’m sure some will say they should budget better given that was their answer for pensioners who would struggle without the WFA.
He can't define what a woman is so there is no hope of the halfwit defining what a working person is.Starmer struggling to define what a “Working Person” is.
No wonder he gets on with Gary Neville they are a couple of wafflers.
So how do you get to the point where everyone is 'well-paid' enough to pay their day-to-day expenses and save as well?
I am at a loss to think how that desirable situation could be brought about without government interference. It will certainly not be brought about by the market.
There are already squeals that the minimum wage is 'too high'. The reality is that much employment is so poorly paid that the government has to subsidise it through benefits like Universal Credit and Housing Benefit to make it tenable. The government (I presume) do this because it's cheaper than paying the whole cost of maintaining an unemployed person. Nonetheless, it's undeniably a form of redistribution. (A cynic might say, in favour of poor-paying employers (e.g supermarkets) and landlords.) In other words, it's a form of corporate welfare. But what is the realistic alternative?
