One of the elephants in the room is the amount of tax revenues being thrown away on illegals and foreign countries. Whilst handing out approximately £14 billion in foreign aid (or even half that amount), health care for foreign nationals who arrive for treatment then disappear, and, as said, the illegals and their “needs” of free housing, hotels, food, pocket money, mobiles etc etc these mental politicians decide to try to balance the hole they created by taxing pensioners i.e. those people that have worked all their lives and paid into the system (unlike all the people who benefit but are outside of this country). Do not forget the uni party already stitched up British women by altering the pension retirement age. McTernan is unhinged, like those he ‘advises’. He will never be in the position of seeing problems when older.
Starmer has also confirmed that Labour will be funding countries at source to try and stem the flow of illegal immigrants. In his own words he wants to give money to countries to give training and create jobs to try and stop migration to the UK, no figures given yet but it will be millions of our taxpayers money.

Lets put this in to Reality. My Pension is £250 per Week. If you divide that by 40 Hours it would work out at £6.25 per hour. National Living Wage is £11.44 per Hour. So my Pension is Below what the Government call a Living Wage. Still Pay Council Tax. Energy Costs. Food Bills. Water Rates Plus Now Income Tax. And now have lost the Winter Fuel Allowance. Cannot claim Pension Credits just over the Limit. Really nice to no that the Illegals are Warm and Snug in 4 Star Hotels and Ukraine has enough Bombs While we are paying there National Debt.
@@nigelmorley5414 Apart from many people not having enough earned income to save, current pensioners thought they were by paying into NI for their state pensions. I agree that in the last 10-20yrs people have been told to save for private pensions but that was of no help to people already in their 50s, who would have only saved enough (if they could afford anything) to add a few pounds (or in some cases pennies) to their weekly income.
@@RichardFraser-y9t No, but im happy to support the many pensioner's who are on a basic state pension, its not exactly a fortune at £221 per week or less if you are on the old rate of pension.

£840 a month for rent, council tax,energy, food and clothes etc... I am a 1955 WASPI woman. How can I manage? The government fleeced me for over £50,000. Meanwhile illegal immigrants stay warm in hotels.
Do you remember the outraged leftists when the Tories suggested stopping free meals for school kids? This is basically the same thing, and suddenly it’s the best idea ever!
The Starmer crew are going to build 1.5 million homes in 5 years. Do the maths :- that's 1 home every 1 minute 45 seconds, working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. CLOWNS.
And where are the builders coming from they have been in government for just over a month and are falling over a cliff already reversed promises they promised I voted reform so glad I did this is only the beginning can not see this shower lasting five years hope not
They've promised 1.5 million homes and been in power for three weeks. The previous lot promised 1.3 millions homes and were in power for 14 years and didn't deliver anywhere near that - and that was a deliberate choice. Why did they choose that? Because increasing supply of housing lowers the price of houses. That upsets home owners despite the fact that Tory home owners are precisely the bunch of NIMBYs moaning that their kids and grandkids can't afford a home.
She has just lost millions of voters who won’t forget what this devious government has done. Reform needs to be in after next election to sort out the mess that we will be in by then.
Rubbish, she has only. Cancelled the fuel allowance for people that are not on benefits,, we all have to do our bit,it was no worse than hunt gave us a triple lock with one hand and took it stealth tax, in the other,the doctor nurses and teaches need the pay rise to start sorting out our nhs teachers, to start sorting the poor people who are waiting for hospital appointments and our kids get a descent education.we do not want reform any where near the goverment. they are absolutely useless.
Labour will tie the finances in such a knot that when/if Reform take over at the next GE they will be made to look inadequate for the job in hand coz I imagine things will get a lot worse from here, and Reform just won't have the experience to deal with it. Reform UK will still get my vote though. New broom sweeps clean, I have always said. Let's sweep the illegals out of the country and close the borders!
It isn't the Pensioners you want to target when you're spending 8m a day housing migrants in hotels. Your values are all wrong. Put Pensioners first not last. They've worked all their lives. Some are just above Pension Credit. What a cruel thing to do. A vote of No Confidence from me.
Pensioners should stay home for a month. No high street shopping, no holiday visits, no English Hertitage or National Trust visits. Don’t buy theatre tickets or cinema tickets or coffee meets. Then see if they want to take us on. We need to form our own political party.
Former Bank of England exec Reeves and former EU millionaire SIR STARMER will not means test the winter fuel payments as not a vote winner with their generously pensioned, unionised and public sector voters! They are so disconnected from the people in the private sector who THEY WRECKED in the NEW LABOUR /"EU banking credit crisis. ( Does Reeves get a fat cat bank pension entitlement?) and now have only STATE PENSIONS and if managed to keep a meagre private pension are NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PENSION CREDIT ,HOUSING BENEFIT and now pay tax on their state pension. Add to this if home owners will no doubt be WHACKED by increased council tax! This to pay for council bureaucrats to work three days at home and paid for five!!!
HOLs = £300 plus a day expenses, subsidised meals and drink. Illegals = 4*hotels,fed,clothed, mobile phones, bikes. Pensioners = no winter fuel allowance, poorest pensions in Europe.
Junior doctors voted Labour, 22% pay rise, pensioners voted Conservative & reform, let’s take money from these poor old folk. Welcome to the new Venezuela, where Socialism only counts if you fully support the government at all times.
Well I’m a pensioner who’s never voted Tory and have just a little bit too much to get pension credit. The irony being, many of those who are getting the benefits will end up better off than me. When was it deemed ok to attack people for getting old?
@@RichardFraser-y9t pensioners on very low incomes £13-£15k will not get this payment( only those below about £11750 qualify) You could easily place a ceiling for those with an income of £50,271 which is the level of the 40% tax, so meaning the RICH would not get this payment, but taking this sum off a pensioner on £15,000 is sick & shows that this Labour government are not caring, not empathetic & fair is not a word they understand. 5.5% pay rise for every public service worker when inflation is 2% means 3.5% real pay increase. If you can afford that for workers, £300 over a year for the old, sick, vulnerable is easily affordable. However these Very old, frail & vulnerable are not able to complain, rather will languish in cold empty houses over the winter
@@macsmiffy2197 sadly we are living in the new Venezuela. A once rich, clean efficient country taken over by a group calling themselves Socialists but acting as Barons. You get rewarded for loyalty to the regime, not on need , not on merit, but purely on loyalty.

A pure disgrace picking on those who worked & paid into a system, but those who didn’t still get the payment….its going to get worse unless someone within the party has the guts to say this is wrong & builds a coalition of support on the backbenches
I've lost my winter fuel payment and I'm certainly not well off, I'm old school working class. I didn't vote Labour and never have, they hate the working class, I'd love to see the faces's of those who voted Labour and now find out what they've lost. If it wasn't so serious it would be quite funny.
Just a thought, wouldn't it be better to use the British taxpayers money on the British population? It's a radical idea, I know, but it would be a very popular move.
I am not a boomer. I am 90 years of age and as a child suffered the depravations of war,before this lot were born. Must be so proud of themselves ! I did not vote this lot in. I have ever voted for Labour in my life and feel so angry with the deluded fools who did. Will you never learn ?
Im 92 and this woman knows nothing about the superaged, like us. The boomers are so called from the post war baby boom. I was working when they were born!, My husband started work at 14. Her ignorance is pitiable in someone in a position of fiscal responsibility.
The last time they took it out of my pocket leading to my ending up in debt despite refusing to buy on credit as I wasn't entitled to any sort of benefits because I fell between the cracks - too much to claim (no extenuating circumstances - kids, ethnicity, disability, age etc), too little to survive the extra taxes.
Cut homing migrants and cut overseas aid, and there is much more cuts she could have made. And the buck stops with her, she can not pass it back to the Conservatives! They took over a worse problem from them! And she did not give any answers before the election,

Means test free Bus Passes & free Prescription charges for Pensioners? Have a specific Pension Tax? Force Pensioners back to work? Any unexpected thing may happen
So she deprives pensioners of winter hearing allowance because other area weren't funded - the logic is horrific. Starmer needs to get off his backside and reshuffle Reeves away. A Labour chancellor taking away pensioner benefits!
Average NHS consultant now makes £140,000 per year. If they retire next year they'll have a £70,000 (and inflation linked) pension per year. Nice work.
I can't believe that you would complain over someone getting a salary ,who has spent years working unspeakable hours , and studying for exams at the same time. The training of doctors is not the same as say working in a 9 to 5 safe office job. To get to be a consultant takes years and years from first starting medical school. The consultant could be the person who knows how to save your life. !! Is that not why you would go consult that person. GPs well they are definately not what they used to be. They don't seem to want to actually see people, they would rather send you to a nurse or paramedic in the practice. All the while earning a lot of money and not working the taxing hours that hospital doctors work.
@@GrooveTasticThang Sorry but you're wrong on average salary being low in the UK. The UK is 15th highest in the world with a median annual earnings of £34,963 in 2023. Top to bottom the EU ranges from €106,839.33 in Switzerland to €12,923.66 in Bulgaria... but the EU average is actually lower than the UK's at around €33,500 (£28,300). Asia? The median salary in Asia is around USD 547 per month. The median salary represents the middle value of the country-wise salary distribution in Asia. This means that 50% of the countries have an average salary higher than USD 547, and the other 50% earn lower than USD 547. So that's just $6564 (£5,118) annually.
They need to pull back the money spent on foreign aid (money laundering) and fraudulent back handed deals with Donors and other corrupt payouts into their own companies or each others
I’d don’t believe her excuses. However , couldn’t this money have been saved on illegal migration, foreign aid? House of Lords? Nope, straight onto pensioners
I'm a pensioner and would never dream of voting for Labour, they hate pensioners and most other working class people, anyone of sound mind would never vote for them stand by for more crap..... Loads of
Boomers like me paid tax since we started work aged 16. Bought our houses because we went without expensive holidays and cars. Paid into pensions and saved a bit for when we are old. I accept that buying a house is harder now in expensive areas than it’s ever been but after this announcement I’m planning on going to dignitas if I get ill otherwise any inheritance from me will be wasted on care. I would rather die earlier than have my money taken from me when those who have lived on benefits will get it all - free care, winter fuel allowance etc etc
These b@stards will take some of the pension contribution tax relief. It's a misconception that this is really a relief because you pay tax on it when you take your pension anyway.
Labour puts retirement age to 71...how many people at pension age do you think will be alive to collect it...they don't want pensioners they don't like them,we have payed in all our lives what have we got..nothing we have swopped blue for red...now the pensioners are doomed and are now being forgotten....god help us all...they are not finished yet....
John McTernan has spelt out Labour's true plan - a generational shift in the tax burden from younger to older people. This was never mentioned in Labour's much-heralded Manifesto. He seems to suggest that pensioners have had everything so easy with properties appreciating and gold-plated pension schemes. Some have benefitted, but many more pensioners haven't been "lucky" and will face a grim winter thanks to Labour. It is kick-in-the-teeth for the heroes at the D-Day commemorations. Rachel "Robber" Reeves and Starmer are truly deceitful.
Labour said they will not attack the workers. But they didn’t say they wouldn’t attack pensioners. The next council elections should have their wheelchair ramps ready
It's not the OAP pension that's the problem ..it's the Public sector Pensions that is the problem according to the Telegraph and that bill could reach £2.6 Trillion ..an unbelievable sum and with the government employing more Doctors and Nurse that bill will rise ..incidentally my Sister a teacher has been offered a pay rise if she leaves the pension scheme...taking away the Winter Fuel allowance is purely a political act..
Yeah... Tens of thousands on a heat pump installation, so you can sit in a lukewarm house.. with the added bonus of an electricity bill in the thousands.
As a pensioner what can I do we are easy targets Never in my lifetime did I think a Labour Government could act so cruelly I suppose if I survive the freezing winters over the 4 or 5 years I will put my X in a different box
Amazing how selective and short memories are! I remember during the covid debacle, Keri Starmer repeatedly standing up in Parliament and encouraging the government to spend more, lockdown harder and longer, create laws to stop people questioning the roll out of the jab etc. Labour are complicit in the bankruptcy of the country, but now they simply blame the Tories. They should own their actions.
It doesn't matter how dire the circumstances doris left the treasury in, this lot would make it look way worse because, whilst you're concentrating upon that debacle, they're digging graves behind your collective backs. Don't fall for it.
Government employee pensions are ridiculous, contributions are circa 26% salary which we the people have to pay for year on year. Cut these pensions first as nothing put aside to pay these.
I ❤ all the optimism that some people had for the first 2 weeks of Labour, And now the realisation that they have no ideas other than to tax the working class more. 🤣🤣
I cannot understand the mindset and position in life of the 9million that voted LIEbour. Maybe a first time voter, looking forward to a life on benefits?
I think a lot of middle-class people, especially in London, are cowed by Labour. All that 'f*** the tories', 'eat the rich' crap - I think they know what labour does to demographics who eschew it.
She will regret this big time.Pensioners who are just over the earnings limit to get benifits will make her life hell.Their union paymasters well rewarded with rises paid for by people who worked their 'socks' off for years.Don't expect people to forget this.How big was the deficit labour left last time.9 times greater.!!!!!!!Hypocripts
This is tantamount to theft off the people who can’t afford it. And then have the audacity to give their money to doctors police and teachers who are very well paid and are in safe jobs. This is absolutely sickening. 🇬🇧
Im a retired nurse with both pensions i have 18k a year and i pay 122 pounds a month tax...and i might have to pay more....this is age discrimmination, typical liebour
The tax payer subsidised public sector pension liabilities of 2.6 trillion pounds is the real problem, these liabilities have crippled the U.K. economy for many years.
Labour knew what the finances were. Blaming the previous government is the o,dest and lamest excuse for everything. We., see how we are in 18 months to 2 year. My guess is that we will have bigger hole in the Financial es
They'll save that for the very end, not unlike the tories to be fair. It'll be the end of their tenure when we see them stitch up posterity with self-serving ratchet-like constitutional change too.
Unearned income?? That'll be politicians salary then. Considering that no politician has ever come up with a solution for any issue I would consider their salary as unearned! They are the REAL freeloaders!
As a former Leftie even I have to ask why do you and MSM keep giving McTernan a voice as imo the mans a former Brownite who took part of my pension when I retired and again imo would not have any understanding of bringing kids up on a council estate in the UK or struggling to live as a pensioner.
I'm one of those affected by the winter fuel cut. I didn't vote Labour but it's ironic that probably millions of poor pensioners did and this is how they have been treated. It will mean a great deal to my wife and I this coming winter, living on a state pension is not easy these days and every little helps. Between us we paid in 100 years of National Insurance payments to pay for our pensions, it's our money we get in pensions not a hand out. When they talk of the triple lock as if it's some great give away, it's a percentage of a very small figure which in our experience is always taken off us and we end up no better off. Rachel Reeves is hated in our household I hope I live long enough to see the back of her and the rest of Liebour!
This is scary . Whst about the poorest people in the country. Think about the British people. People are going to freeze with no winter fuel payments. Why are they spending so much on the Drs when we are in so much debt. Nothing makes sense.
The winter fuel payments have gone to means tested. Were you happy for your taxes to go to the heating of a millionaires house? You are believing what you want to believe and repeat those lies to other people like you.
So that's why the American housing market collapsed the world banking system, Blair, nothing to do with the deregulation of the mortgage market under Bush.....

No one ever mentions last time Labour were in Government under Blair and Brown the Tories when taking over got that Letter... 'Sorry there is no money left'? Also the UK Pension is the lowest in the whole of Europe and Pensioners needed that extra top up for winter fuel.
Pensioners are keeping the economy going...you go out to a restaurant..coffee shop all full of pensioners spending their hard earned pensions.... Pensioners should go on a spending strike no meals out no coffee shops no ... labour don't understand the power of the grey pound...so it for a whole month..VAT receipt down ..fuel duty down ...come on fellow pensioners let's do it
So now we pensioners who have paid taxes all our lives are being fleeced to make way and pay for illegal immigrants to have everything for free....I'm bloody fuming at this heap of "illegal immigrant lovers"...... where is caring for the community, our communities, gone...grrrrrrr 😡😡
Sorry, but it is not the role of Government to balance between generations, my generation experienced REAL extreme poverty in the aftermath of World War 2, I left school at 14 to go to work for a wage. We built up this country from a smouldering wreck into a vibrant modern country. The younger generations need to stop expecting to just receive everything their hearts desire and get out and work for their goals.

Cannot claim Pension Credits just over the Limit. Really nice to no that the Illegals are Warm and Snug in 4 Star Hotels and Ukraine has enough Bombs While we are paying there National Debt.
Did you save in your working life ? If not, more fool you

I'm with you, there.❤
@@nigelmorley5414 Apart from many people not having enough earned income to save, current pensioners thought they were by paying into NI for their state pensions. I agree that in the last 10-20yrs people have been told to save for private pensions but that was of no help to people already in their 50s, who would have only saved enough (if they could afford anything) to add a few pounds (or in some cases pennies) to their weekly income.

As for Ternan, I've heard all his drivel before on other channels. I believe he is a redder and hotter Marxist than either Corbyn or McDonnell.
They've promised 1.5 million homes and been in power for three weeks.
The previous lot promised 1.3 millions homes and were in power for 14 years and didn't deliver anywhere near that - and that was a deliberate choice.
Why did they choose that? Because increasing supply of housing lowers the price of houses. That upsets home owners despite the fact that Tory home owners are precisely the bunch of NIMBYs moaning that their kids and grandkids can't afford a home.
She has just lost millions of voters who won’t forget what this devious government has done. Reform needs to be in after next election to sort out the mess that we will be in by then.

Rubbish, she has only. Cancelled the fuel allowance for people that are not on benefits,, we all have to do our bit,it was no worse than hunt gave us a triple lock with one hand and took it stealth tax, in the other,the doctor nurses and teaches need the pay rise to start sorting out our nhs teachers, to start sorting the poor people who are waiting for hospital appointments and our kids get a descent education.we do not want reform any where near the goverment. they are absolutely useless.
Labour will tie the finances in such a knot that when/if Reform take over at the next GE they will be made to look inadequate for the job in hand coz I imagine things will get a lot worse from here, and Reform just won't have the experience to deal with it.

Average NHS consultant now makes £140,000 per year. If they retire next year they'll have a £70,000 (and inflation linked) pension per year. Nice work.
I can't believe that you would complain over someone getting a salary ,who has spent years working unspeakable hours , and studying for exams at the same time. The training of doctors is not the same as say working in a 9 to 5 safe office job. To get to be a consultant takes years and years from first starting medical school. The consultant could be the person who knows how to save your life. !! Is that not why you would go consult that person.
GPs well they are definately not what they used to be. They don't seem to want to actually see people, they would rather send you to a nurse or paramedic in the practice. All the while earning a lot of money and not working the taxing hours that hospital doctors work.
It’s not that consultants are over paid ( globally they are cheep) it’s that real wages in the uk are to low- compared to Euro / USA / Asian averages
@@GrooveTasticThang Sorry but you're wrong on average salary being low in the UK. The UK is 15th highest in the world with a median annual earnings of £34,963 in 2023. Top to bottom the EU ranges from €106,839.33 in Switzerland to €12,923.66 in Bulgaria... but the EU average is actually lower than the UK's at around €33,500 (£28,300).
Asia? The median salary in Asia is around USD 547 per month. The median salary represents the middle value of the country-wise salary distribution in Asia. This means that 50% of the countries have an average salary higher than USD 547, and the other 50% earn lower than USD 547. So that's just $6564 (£5,118) annually.
