The Labour Government

Ellie Reeves yet again saying they have been forced to take the decision to cut winter fuel allowances for pensioners due to the Tories.

Sorry but it’s bullshit, it’s a political choice they have made, they can suffer from the flak over it.

Make a decision, own it.

The problem for Reeves is if she backs down and sets a higher threshold she’ll be seen as weak once you look at the bigger picture of public sector pay awards. Rightly or wrongly that will spook markets now.

Mess of her own making this.
 
"The PM is about to make a speech which will show he's a realist."

One way to spin it.

Robot Reeves will be preparing the barbed wire dildo to fuck us with as he speaks.

I don't mind paying if it does show improvement long term. However I expect the people who can afford more to pay their fucking share.

Perhaps she is blaming the Tories for not getting rid of it, and she thinks that they should be getting the flak. it was an easy decision, but anything means tested leaves a sizeable chunk of folk with ne'er a tanner in their purse at the end of the week . . . . . . . . . .
 
Bloody trains...
My ERO was up at the weekend and went back to Norf Landan yesterday - first class LNER. Some nutter got on the track at Peterborough, there was a problem with the overhead wires, 'n they get into Kings X 91 mins late. Delay repay is a fine thing! Free feed and travel Leeds to London. I've done that the other way and been ninety odd mins late. Trouble is, it's the taxpayer coughing up again.
