"What Are You Thinking?" | Mike Graham Talks Labour's Winter Fuel Drive 

Don’t the MPs claim expenses for power of both their homes, not the one ? Let me know if I’m correct please.

Shouldn't have a second fuc king home if they can't pay for it

Shameless

make no wonder no one can get a house they're all buying second houses, and utilities come with it yet they say there's a housing crisis unbelievable

If I don't live near work, I have to commute, or move near my work. They don't need second homes, and we should not as tax payers be paying for either of them.

The Chancellors official residence is 11 Downing Street and has been so for previous Chancellors for hundreds of years.

Plus all the freebies they’re getting worth thousands ..

Disgusting

Socialist greed.

@@neilpiper2807 Thank you for wanting to protect pensioners. To them 200 is nothing but to many it makes a large difference during winter. Govt need to get priorities right and protect their own.

​@user-ns8ug1pv5p get their priorities right, make sure the tax payers pay their energy bills. I work with the elderly and trust me, not all of them have £200 to spare. A lot of them will sit with no heating on

@@lizgannon6688 I'm starting to cut back so I'll have money for the winter. I know that there will be a lot worse off than me. We can also expect energy cost rises so that will just make it worse 🥺 I manage my money, plan when I can have enough money to get something. I'm sensible. But with everything going up I now worry for the future like a lot of pensioners. For now I can live reasonably and I'm grateful for that.

The things they can claim for needs re-doing and needs voting on by the tax payers.

The average standing charge for a person using dual fuel is @90p per day, (£328 pa) that's far more than the winter fuel allowance.

@@jjefferyworboys8138 Indeed, but that means pensioners now lose out over £600 a year.

True 👍

the Tories were betraying us. keeping them in power , they would have continued to do so. in opposition they have chance to CHANGE or to disappear. i think they will disappear like the Liberals did in the 1920's

You know nothing about British politics pal clearly 😂

Labour and Tories have corrupted, stolen and lied there way through their terms times for god knows how long, their single most important policy is one of self-preservation

​@@Mewsfinderhe does have a point though

​@@Mewsfindernor do you

@@Mewsfinder For a new party, Reform gained 5 seats and millions of votes The Lib Dems secured 12% of the vote and 72 seats and Reform took 14%, but only five seats. The Green Party also emerged with four MPs, despite having 7% of the total vote. Labour voters have been branded as racists and will not vote for them. They will not vote for Labour or Liberals so there is one alternative Reform. The next batch of local elections will be the first test.

I often wonder how politicians feel if they would like to be cold in winter

I take a different view and here's why. The MP's that have second homes are those that don't live close enough to Westminster to make regular commuting from home or their constituency practical. The alternative is for the taxpayer to meet the cost of central London hotel accommodation and those MP's spending a large amount of their day travelling rather than doing their job. The Chancellors official residence is 11 Downing Street, as it has been for previous Chancellors for hundreds of years.

@@jjefferyworboys8138 There are many hundreds of people who work in London but do not live there. I worked in London for a couple of years and commuted 5 or 6 days a week. I had to pay my own way. No second house payed for by the taxpayer. It would be interesting to know just how many times MP's actually visit their constituencies. My daily commute, timewise, was 3 - 4 hours. The Chancellors residence should preclude her from claiming anything on second houses.

Why do they live in a mansion for their 2nd home😂😂😂

@@jjefferyworboys8138 Perhaps I missed something, but weren't MPs aware of where Westminster was when they sought election? If I applied for a post in a location 200 miles, for example, from where I lived, I would not expect my new employers to pay for a second home for me should I get the job.

Get a prem inn...room..

aah but they are it's called the English tax payer

It all started with Ted Heath back in 1970. The governments and the MP's not only failed to listen to the people but found it easier to lie than to take action,Tories & Labour. Its no surprise that we arrived where we are today, just surprised it didnt happen earlier.

People voted to leave the European Union to stop Muslim and African Immigration. Vox populi, vox dei. 😂

Politicians are people like everyone else you could be a politician, and no one stop you

Good one!

They probably feel that pensioners can live on the one State Pension, which is very difficult, if not almost impossible. England's old age pension benefit is probably (or almost) the lowest in Europe already. Not all have an extra private pension. It's probably felt that their families will make up the deficit for their energy bills.. Even if that were true, not every pensioner belongs to a loving family. Many are alone, widowed with no adult children, or adult children who don't care or who are just as poor as they are. Whether they receive the winter fuel payment or not will depend on the result of a means test. So the more "well off" pensioners who enjoy meals out now and again and can go on holiday once a year (the normal things people have a right to do if able) will probably not receive it. It seems that pensioners will already have to be living a Dickensian lifestyle in order to receive the benefit, it seems.

This is what they are hoping for, so they won't have to pay their pensions.

Exactly Bob Seely is not talking a lot of sense today

and Labour voters too.

How many votes did the Tory’s still get ? Even as they were hated they still whopped reforms arse 😂

tory mps can go and join their pals in LD

In a country that votes for The party as a whole not an individual?…… Labour were voted in not Kier and labour Been that way for many many years it’s called a parliamentary based system 😂

Why should they get any help earning what they do.

Maybe they should abolish VAT of electricity for anyone that uses under the UK average and keep it on anything over that and use the tax money to give pensioners a heating allowance

Yes, but that doesn’t make them good! Vote Reform time for a real change.

@@williamkennedy5492 Angelic and Conversative is an oxymoron!

Maybe if jobs paid a fair wage, more people would get off their arses and work. This is coming from someone who has worked his entire adult life and never claimed a benefit. I know many people who don't work (that could) and they have a way better standard of living than myself who is working 40 hours a week.

Too hard basket.

Here we go again! Labour in charge and taking the pi$$ with expenses while taking the winter fuel allowance off the pensioners. You really couldn't make this up! Two tier Labour. Remember 'Animal Farm' George Orwell.

@@ce5633 "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" ;-)

@@libelle8124 while they are living in luxury. The rest of us are going to have to make more cutbacks. We all will experience even more higher taxes than even the Tories had us paying. Pensioners losing winter fuel allowance and being more heavily taxed. Seemingly to pay more to so called 'Public Servants' and freeloaders

They are going to hit us hard in the budget but what I want to know is that we are paying for these bloody immigrants and pensioners have lost the heating allowance then why don't this pathetic government give up there expenses.they are no different from us.we all pee in the same pot
