I didn't know that but I was shocked at her low pension (a third of what we get here in Canada) and I know that they pay much, much more for energy than we do. You need a different government because the one you have right now isn't going to work for you.
I live in Malta and it's x6 cheaper per unit than the UK. It's absolutely disgusting we are treating pensioners with contempt after the loneliness and isolation of Covid lock downs 😡. So glad I got out in Jan 2020.
@@j.pappas9083 the ones in government are getting their gas and electric bills free, on tax payers money on earning over £80 000 a year, its disgusting theyve took it off those on basic pensions just a few quid above to claim it ,theyve not even took in the cost of their bills, rent and council tax from the state pension and come dec they are looking into old peoples bank accounts to see how they spend their pensions and whats going into their accounts to flag up fraud activities its shocking ,how old are treated in uk .
Correct. They'll never get one bill there. Not one. Free roof over their head and three meals (hot) per day. Room service. Clean sheets and cosy bedding with lashings of hot water for daily showers/baths. Spending money, smart phones, can visit the dr and dentist on site, etc. Like you said, they're warm and that's the main thing!
Is that correct no utilities .omg get this g.o. v out .in days gone by there would have been a national put down of tool over this .butvthats the problem today no one cares its im alright jack .we dont support each other as they used to.
it is freezing today and you can bet Starmeris is lovely and toasty, this man is beyond cruel, he looks after the illegals while our own young and old freeze. SHAME ON LABOUR
This is so sad. This government can afford to put up illegals in five star hotels who come across on dinghies. Yet they can’t afford to take care of the pensioners who work all their lives. I hope you guys send this clip to the Starmer.
Like many pensioners, I have no heating on. I spend my days in bed with a 100W electric blanket. My lounge is 10.1C and my kitchen is 9.2C right now, and it's only November. I guess I'm paying towards the MP's expenses.
I am also a pensioner. Tried the public library, open on average 40 hours weekly? There is something strange about your posting. I am reliant on the state pension and consider it not only adequate but lavish and actually unaffordable for the country.
Not just hotels ... All utilities in ileagal immigrant free Social/Private housing rentals ARE 'FREE' WITH UNLIMITED USAGE & NO COUNCIL OR TV TAX EITHER !!!
They Are Here For A Reason. Way Things Are Going I Think It's going To Be Conscription I Believe We Will See Soon, No Way Are The British State Bringing All These Males Here Out Of Kindness Of Heart❤️
You're correct. Thanks to NETT ZERO madness & banning North Sea oil licences , we pay 4 x USA prices, 3 x Germany prices & 2 x rest of Europe prices for energy. How the hell are we supposed to live and how does business compete on these terms ?? Labour will BANKRUPT the UK before 2029
Yet come over from the general direction of France in a paddling pool and you end up in a heated hotel room with hot meals, pocket money, health and dental care. Something has gone wrong somewhere.
Yes there are people in Hotels enjoying the warmth and 4 sqaure meals per day while those who have contributed towards ecomomic growth are suffering at the hands of those who need to be replaced! Gordon Brown do something plz?

Well done to Paul Thorpe he has offered to pay this ladies heating bill for a year .. now that’s a man with a heart and Stalin and co should be utterly ashamed..
That’s really kind but there are thousands of us in this country who are like this lady and we’ve just been left to get on with it. The government couldn’t care less if we’re freezing because they are all right with their expenses and freebies and warm homes.
Paul has a heart so huge. Bless him. That wee woman will be overjoyed. I wasn't aware of that kind gesture. He's done things like that before and I'm sure he'll do similar in the future. At least we can sleep at night, safe in the knowledge that all of our uninvited guests don't get any bills whilst staying in 4 and 5 star hotels! We can't have them being cold. Ever wondered if they're trying to kill us off?!

@anglerred Thank you for your lovely comment. It is heartbreaking what a so called Labour government have done to their own people. As a country we have always appreciated what we had, and over many years we have contributed to loads of different causes. There are a lot of people in the community working tirelessly to supply cheap meals, a cup of tea and a talk in a warm environment, and offering help where they can. For a country to treat its elderly and most vulnerable in this way is evil and frightening. I worked on an elderly care ward serving the food and refreshments in our local hospital, and on our ward patients were getting ready to be discharged. However that would be delayed as many smaller hospitals have been closed and that is where they could go for rehabilitation and to free beds in the bigger hospital. If parents aren’t well enough to go home, then some may go into a care home which takes time to process and to find an available one. We had a Normandy Veteran and a Land Army lady as well, who I would love to listen to their tales. It infuriates me that the government don’t recognise the sacrifices this generation made, and how disgustingly they are treating them. My husband is 68 and I am nearly 66 and we daren’t think how we will be treated when we are even older. Many people realise that we are facing a mountain to climb to change things back to any form of normality. We count our blessings as we sold our property last year), before it was taken off us to pay for long term care), so we are fortunate compared to a lot of people. We now rent but fear that the Sheriff of Nottingham will attack our savings! Robin Hood where are you? My husband has health conditions, but at the moment I am well enough to stand up and be counted, so I am willing to stand up to injustice. If we don’t face the tyranny, I dread to think what is coming next. I certainly hope we can fix it. Regards,Jane.
The old people should all go to the illegal, immigrant hotels and ask can we stay in the warm and have three meals a day And after tea will go home and get in bed to keep warm. What a shower of bastards. This government is
They Are Here For A Reason. Way Things Are Going I Think It's going To Be Conscription I Believe We Will See Soon, No Way Are The British State Bringing All These Males Here Out Of Kindness Of Heart❤️
I'm a Man of 64 years old almost in tears for this poor lady, And what about all the other older people who made this country what it is today. It's is outrageous.
Thing is, why should he or anyone else have to raise money? There are billions this Government - and other Governments - squander in the wrong areas, not least those arriving arriving in paddling pools who are whisked off to heated clean and dry hotel rooms with hot meals provided, to say nothing of pocket money health and dental care.
I'm only 63 ,I've arthritis in my leg ,working with a broken leg caused it ,I've 10 tumours in my neck ,I'm deaf in my left ear ,lost my top teeth because I can't get a dentist ,I can't get disability allowance , I'm a X aux nurse , and I've got to live on my NHS pension of £371 a month ,people get more than that a week . I don't have the heating on , I worry about my parrotts .
I'm here with blanket and hot water bottle. Put heating on the 20 mins to take off a shivering chill, just below 10 and then turned it off. Bed early to keep warm. Not fuel allowance one the new state pension, 11 K just over. It's not easy.
I am 80 years old and disabled and my 86 year old wife looks after me, we lost £600 fuel allowance, and heat one room for about 2 hours a day Government is responsible for us having the highest home energy prices in the world, I am literally freezing to death , and Reeve' and Starmer don't even care
@Gaston-ri5vr I am reading so many people putting about the dire situation people are facing. I have been at boiling point many times over this so called government, My late dad would have said that they couldn’t organise a something in a brewery! Our humour is still holding up against the continual onslaught from this lot! My blood pressure must be off the scale as I am absolutely disgusted at what a so called socialist government have done. They are evil, and they have taken money away from Peter to give Paul who has never paid anything into this country. Don’t book any of the hotels who are housing you know who! Surely we need to do something to stop all this, but the thought terrifies me but people we need to face the fear and do something. Surely this can’t go on for 4 and a half more years? I am so sorry for you and your wife but please contact the Citizens Advice for advice as they may be able to claim benefits you are entitled to or help with heating costs. Take care, Jane.
they serve him, but there not him, he is a million times more evil than even them. scripture calls him the father of lies. and a liar a thief and a murderer.
What a terrible thing that an old lady crying on the the phone I could see you were really upset as I was I’m an 80 year old widow I don’t get the fuel allowance I’m not as desperate as that port ladle , Starmer is a millionaire how could he possibly know how we are feeling I’ve worked from the age of 14 until I was 65 paid my taxes and national insurance , How dare do this to frail elderly people he needs To go and take reeves with him and all the mps who voted against the payment shame on you all this will not be forgotten
@chrisfavey8378 Wish I could like your comment a thousand times. It’s disgusting for the elderly to be reduced to this level of desperation by Champagne Socialists. Come on you Human Rights Lawyers out there. Where are the Human Rights for the people who have worked all their lives to be rewarded like this? How can you stand by and see this level of injustice and not to do a thing. The same with the people locked up in prison due to the abolition of free speech? Is it I’m all right Jack as it doesn’t affect me? Sooner or later those of you living in ivory towers who think it won’t affect you, well then don’t count your chickens, as policies are being brought in to add to the chaos we already see, and no one knows who will be next? Great Britain a country once known for free speech, justice and fairness. We have the Sheriff of Nottingham in power but we need Robin Hood to return immediately. Any lawyers out there willing to challenge these crimes against humanity in this country? European Courts of Human Rights could they help? Stand Up for the Injustices if you believe Justice. Wonder if we could have this on T shirts? Food for thought 🤔 Jane
I'm furious hearing this while illegal immigrants sit toasty warm in a nice FREE ROOM paid by the TAXPAYER they contribute nothing and get everything yet this elderly lady worked 47 years contributing to the country and she has to live in 1 room and still can't have the heating on using a little heater also she's not in best of health how can this happen to our own people 😢
I like this lady am living in one room to keep warm. I have a little halogen heater and a heated throw on my sofa then when I go to bed I have a n electric blanket. It doesn’t matter how cold it is, there’s not enough money to have the heating on. I expect that vile Prime Minister is nice and warm. The Labour Party just bangs on about difficult decisions, but we are the ones having to living with difficult decisions like whether to put the heating on for an hour. It’s just a disgusting way to treat people
Shame on all of our government, these people have worked all their lives for what. To be the lowest paid people in our country. Shame on all you MP'S you get your heating paid for. Even all the people coming over in boats will be better off than our pensioner's shame on you all. 🤬🤬🤬
To day in my town there was a young lad homeless broke my heart council won’t help him . But when I was talking to him two men walk past they were from the hotel near by every thing paid for them . Why a young English lad sat on a cold floor with a blanket. . Two ladies are trying to get help for this young lad hope he got some we’re warm tonight . I am pensioner it a struggle for use to keep warm we go to bed early with hot water bottles , I did give the young lad some money to get a coffee wish I could have done more . What our country coming to hope I’ve not said any thing wrong.
12 is more than i get am im sick and disabled i get about 10 a year and i have to give back a grand to the council , if it wasn't for my daughter i would be dead by now because the uniparty prefer foreigners and wars to its own people and country
its just disgusting. the government have decided where their loyalties lay and ambition has burned holes in their hearts.. poor dear theresa I hope she is able to get some help.
The NHS have recently removed a whole load of medications from NICE list to save money The only people who know this are the patients who no longer receive their meds, like me.... I have a severe eye problem and the GP surgery switched me from a very helpful drug to one that cost half and is not at all helpful
Age concern recommends 'Heat your home to a comfortable temperature throughout the day. Age UK recommends a minimum of 18C. Check your thermostat or use a room thermometer to monitor temperature'. Starmer and his party must realise that old age pensioner are going to die of cold this winter by taking this action to stop the fuel allowance. How many will have to die before this ends.
Starmer's too busy on his world freebie-collecting tour to care, while Reeves is rubbing her hand in glee, thinking of how much money will be saved by not having to pay out pensions to those who die. I don't believe either has a conscience.
NHS recommends 18c minimum, 20c if you are older and have health issues. Government knows this so it’s pretty clear they couldn’t care less how many elderly people die. Meanwhile the energy companies are raking in massive profits.
It’s 0 degrees where I am, my mum is 75 and we lost our dad earlier this year so there is one pension going into the house. She terrified to turn on her heating, she is just over the limit so cannot get pension credits, which means no heating allowance either. She also has osteoarthritis and mobility issues from it, So all she has is a gas fire to keep warm which she’s also loathe to keep switched on because of the cost. It’s absolutely ridiculous, she also worked all her life, from the age of 14! Liebour are a disgrace
My god what is happening to the men and women how worked all there lives, and we can give almost 13 billion away to most places have better life styles and better health and for god sack better roads than this joke of a country that’s to good old labour
We have not received the cold weather payment yet. On the website it said if you haven't received it by February Hey in touch!!! It's now we need it not February
My dad, 85, mixed dementia, worked all his life, owns his house, has just lost his winter allowance, why you might ask, well he has a little cash in his bank now that takes him over the threshold by a couple of 100 quid, that cash came from my mams life insurance. It boils my fkg piss no ends.
STARMER the Granny Killer.He is the most hated man in this country.Never known a politician as cold and callous as this one.Writing history for all the wrong reasons
Sounds as though imprisonment for non payment of fines is the only option for her. Guaranteed warmth, doctors appointments, dental treatment, free prescriptions, company etc, etc.
Minus 4 today. Though not in London of course. . People will be dying of hypothermia this week, i suggest Starmer and his sidekick turn off their own heating tonight. Ive got the stove running full time 24/7. The einter fuel allowance is sitting in the governments bank account, ive just ordered another £200 worth of fuel,

We now rent but fear that the Sheriff of Nottingham will attack our savings! Robin Hood where are you? My husband has health conditions, but at the moment I am well enough to stand up and be counted, so I am willing to stand up to injustice.
If we don’t face the tyranny, I dread to think what is coming next. I certainly hope we can fix it. Regards,Jane.
Like Crying Is Going To Help. We Need Strength, Not Our Of Control Emotions.
Those that voted Labour should take a long hard look at the mirror. 🤬
That was heartbreaking
this government needs to be removed from office
The old people should all go to the illegal, immigrant hotels and ask can we stay in the warm and have three meals a day And after tea will go home and get in bed to keep warm. What a shower of bastards. This government is
They Are Here For A Reason. Way Things Are Going I Think It's going To Be Conscription I Believe We Will See Soon, No Way Are The British State Bringing All These Males Here Out Of Kindness Of Heart❤️
I'm a Man of 64 years old almost in tears for this poor lady, And what about all the other older people who made this country what it is today. It's is outrageous.
Peter why not raise money like Patrick Christie? I’m ashamed to be British ATM. Sick and tired of these elites
Thing is, why should he or anyone else have to raise money? There are billions this Government - and other Governments - squander in the wrong areas, not least those arriving arriving in paddling pools who are whisked off to heated clean and dry hotel rooms with hot meals provided, to say nothing of pocket money health and dental care.
I'm only 63 ,I've arthritis in my leg ,working with a broken leg caused it ,I've 10 tumours in my neck ,I'm deaf in my left ear ,lost my top teeth because I can't get a dentist ,I can't get disability allowance , I'm a X aux nurse , and I've got to live on my NHS pension of £371 a month ,people get more than that a week .
I don't have the heating on , I worry about my parrotts .
Not all of us don't, haven't even got a public sector pension, feel like what's the point.
I'm here with blanket and hot water bottle. Put heating on the 20 mins to take off a shivering chill, just below 10 and then turned it off. Bed early to keep warm. Not fuel allowance one the new state pension, 11 K just over. It's not easy.
The Winter Fuel allowance wasn't just for fuel. It was a small supplement to our Meagre UK Pension which is less than HALF the Minimum Wage!!!!!!
I am 80 years old and disabled and my 86 year old wife looks after me, we lost £600 fuel allowance, and heat one room for about 2 hours a day
Government is responsible for us having the highest home energy prices in the world, I am literally freezing to death , and Reeve' and Starmer don't even care
..........and the lowest Old Age Pensions in Europe. Sending you and your hard working wife a cuddle from a very cold Scotland.
Thank you for your kind words, yes you're right we have a terrible pension , and the government are more interested in Train drivers
Much love to you both.
@@sheilaoneil18 thank you so much
@Gaston-ri5vr
I am reading so many people putting about the dire situation people are facing. I have been at boiling point many times over this so called government, My late dad would have said that they couldn’t organise a something in a brewery! Our humour is still holding up against the continual onslaught from this lot!
My blood pressure must be off the scale as I am absolutely disgusted at what a so called socialist government have done. They are evil, and they have taken money away from Peter to give Paul who has never paid anything into this country.
Don’t book any of the hotels who are housing you know who!
Surely we need to do something to stop all this, but the thought terrifies me but people we need to face the fear and do something. Surely this can’t go on for 4 and a half more years?
I am so sorry for you and your wife but please contact the Citizens Advice for advice as they may be able to claim benefits you are entitled to or help with heating costs.
Take care, Jane.
Why aren't our young protesting about this?
Those protesting are middle class spoiled kids with plenty of heating.
GODBLESS 😢 THIS LADY 🙏 X ❤Xxxx
Shameful Labour 😡
Absolutely disgusting
Starmer & Reeves are the devil incarnate.
they serve him, but there not him, he is a million times more evil than even them. scripture calls him the father of lies. and a liar a thief and a murderer.
What a terrible thing that an old lady crying on the the phone I could see you were really upset as I was I’m an 80 year old widow I don’t get the fuel allowance I’m not as desperate as that port ladle , Starmer is a millionaire how could he possibly know how we are feeling I’ve worked from the age of 14 until I was 65 paid my taxes and national insurance , How dare do this to frail elderly people he needs To go and take reeves with him and all the mps who voted against the payment shame on you all this will not be forgotten
@chrisfavey8378
Wish I could like your comment a thousand times.
It’s disgusting for the elderly to be reduced to this level of desperation by Champagne Socialists.
Come on you Human Rights Lawyers out there. Where are the Human Rights for the people who have worked all their lives to be rewarded like this? How can you stand by and see this level of injustice and not to do a thing.
The same with the people locked up in prison due to the abolition of free speech?
Is it I’m all right Jack as it doesn’t affect me?
Sooner or later those of you living in ivory towers who think it won’t affect you, well then don’t count your chickens, as policies are being brought in to add to the chaos we already see, and no one knows who will be next?
Great Britain a country once known for free speech, justice and fairness.
We have the Sheriff of Nottingham in power but we need Robin Hood to return immediately.
Any lawyers out there willing to challenge these crimes against humanity in this country? European Courts of Human Rights could they help?
Stand Up for the Injustices if you believe Justice. Wonder if we could have this on T shirts? Food for thought 🤔 Jane
@chrisdavey8378
Sorry I put your username incorrectly.
It should have said:
Stand Up Against Injustices If You Believe in Justice. Jane
I'm furious hearing this while illegal immigrants sit toasty warm in a nice FREE ROOM paid by the TAXPAYER they contribute nothing and get everything yet this elderly lady worked 47 years contributing to the country and she has to live in 1 room and still can't have the heating on using a little heater also she's not in best of health how can this happen to our own people 😢
Oh my God....😢
Even with the heat off you're still spending a fortune on the standing charge. 😢
Perhaps us pensioners should demand that we are put up in a hotel for free.
Absolutely heartbreaking this joke of a Govt need removed IMMEDIATELY!
bless this lady snow today we cannot afford our heating ? now she is being dumped?
Peter do the right thing if you’re that worried help her out!!
Not only the heating bills, the price of food shopping is extortionate at the minute too. Cost of living is way too high
I like this lady am living in one room to keep warm. I have a little halogen heater and a heated throw on my sofa then when I go to bed I have a n electric blanket. It doesn’t matter how cold it is, there’s not enough money to have the heating on. I expect that vile Prime Minister is nice and warm. The Labour Party just bangs on about difficult decisions, but we are the ones having to living with difficult decisions like whether to put the heating on for an hour. It’s just a disgusting way to treat people
Shame on all of our government, these people have worked all their lives for what. To be the lowest paid people in our country. Shame on all you MP'S you get your heating paid for. Even all the people coming over in boats will be better off than our pensioner's shame on you all. 🤬🤬🤬
And people with chronic health conditions get ignored completely.
Im much younger than Teresa and im freezing i can only imagine what the older generation are going through, i detest this government
To day in my town there was a young lad homeless broke my heart council won’t help him . But when I was talking to him two men walk past they were from the hotel near by every thing paid for them . Why a young English lad sat on a cold floor with a blanket. . Two ladies are trying to get help for this young lad hope he got some we’re warm tonight . I am pensioner it a struggle for use to keep warm we go to bed early with hot water bottles , I did give the young lad some money to get a coffee wish I could have done more . What our country coming to hope I’ve not said any thing wrong.
We have to get rid of this government, people are suffering , it breaks my heart
Ouch bought me to tears that
12 is more than i get am im sick and disabled i get about 10 a year and i have to give back a grand to the council , if it wasn't for my daughter i would be dead by now because the uniparty prefer foreigners and wars to its own people and country
Absolutely heartbreaking
Shocking stuff.
Peter makes me feel sic
its just disgusting. the government have decided where their loyalties lay and ambition has burned holes in their hearts..
poor dear theresa I hope she is able to get some help.
Things like this really boil my piss, we need to take action collectively or pay the price.
The NHS have recently removed a whole load of medications from NICE list to save money
The only people who know this are the patients who no longer receive their meds, like me.... I have a severe eye problem and the GP surgery switched me from a very helpful drug to one that cost half and is not at all helpful
Age concern recommends 'Heat your home to a comfortable temperature throughout the day. Age UK recommends a minimum of 18C. Check your thermostat or use a room thermometer to monitor temperature'. Starmer and his party must realise that old age pensioner are going to die of cold this winter by taking this action to stop the fuel allowance. How many will have to die before this ends.
Starmer's too busy on his world freebie-collecting tour to care, while Reeves is rubbing her hand in glee, thinking of how much money will be saved by not having to pay out pensions to those who die. I don't believe either has a conscience.
I think they're doing it on purpose. They want them gone, to save on state pensions. We're living in dem0nic times.
NHS recommends 18c minimum, 20c if you are older and have health issues. Government knows this so it’s pretty clear they couldn’t care less how many elderly people die. Meanwhile the energy companies are raking in massive profits.
Fuel poverty is directly caused by net zero. It happened in Germany and it’s happening here now.
Great Britain, what is great about it again???
It’s appalling. And the disabled are being targeted too. And been threatened.Starmer doesn’t care he lives in comfort and power.
Just wondering is Starmers pension still protected.
It’s 0 degrees where I am, my mum is 75 and we lost our dad earlier this year so there is one pension going into the house. She terrified to turn on her heating, she is just over the limit so cannot get pension credits, which means no heating allowance either. She also has osteoarthritis and mobility issues from it, So all she has is a gas fire to keep warm which she’s also loathe to keep switched on because of the cost. It’s absolutely ridiculous, she also worked all her life, from the age of 14! Liebour are a disgrace
Talking doesn't keep people warm
Not even the hot air from environmentalists and UK politicians can do that.
My god what is happening to the men and women how worked all there lives, and we can give almost 13 billion away to most places have better life styles and better health and for god sack better roads than this joke of a country that’s to good old labour
Labour should hold their heads in shame pensions have been the Backbone for Britain and their treated like this
We have not received the cold weather payment yet. On the website it said if you haven't received it by February
Hey in touch!!! It's now we need it not February
Everyone should be warm. About time they helped sick of it help everyone else but us
Oh god that broke me,if that was my gran...............
My dad, 85, mixed dementia, worked all his life, owns his house, has just lost his winter allowance, why you might ask, well he has a little cash in his bank now that takes him over the threshold by a couple of 100 quid, that cash came from my mams life insurance. It boils my fkg piss no ends.
STARMER the Granny Killer.He is the most hated man in this country.Never known a politician as cold and callous as this one.Writing history for all the wrong reasons
I'm still waiting for the MPs to make some kind of sacrifice. Apparently we are all in this together.
we are just above the threshold and are freezing,we stay in one room
Are you listening king Charles look what this government are doing
Sounds as though imprisonment for non payment of fines is the only option for her. Guaranteed warmth, doctors appointments, dental treatment, free prescriptions, company etc, etc.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
We need one offspring to live with Mum & Dad.
Wicked Starmer
To think every illegal costs the taxpayer £40,000 per year. How many more came over today to enjoy the warmth of 4/5 star hotels?
Minus 4 today. Though not in London of course.
. People will be dying of hypothermia this week, i suggest Starmer and his sidekick turn off their own heating tonight. Ive got the stove running full time 24/7. The einter fuel allowance is sitting in the governments bank account, ive just ordered another £200 worth of fuel,
