80% of pensioners own their own homes

State pension going up by £400

Hum, so anybody with income above the pension then pays a minimum £80 in tax leaving £320 then take off the WFA leaves £20 then fuel up about 10% means they are less well off

On the subject of home ownership, probably a good thing as they aren’t a drain on the state

Infectious diseases, especially respiratory ones, are caught from other people in shops, bars, theatres, buses or homes.

The temperature is not the cause.

True.

I blame it on Starmer for cutting the winter fuel payments

Pensioners are better off than they have ever been thanks to the triple lock. The well off don't need £200 hand outs.

I’m guessing you are no where near retirement.

Could you survive on about £11500 per year ?

It depends on a persons circumstances. The triple lock has increased their income dramatically over recent years. £200 isn't a dealbreaker.

(Some) vaccines are simply a money making machine for big pharma.

Note I said some, not all

Are we really sure it's better to be injected with all these concoctions year in year out?

Well the not well off do

So in order to placate those who are complaining about the caper

Government come along with some overly complicated scheme in order to get some hand out

Thousands won’t be claiming because they can’t under stand it

When labour were in opposition they stated that up to 2000 deaths would be caused by removing the winter fuel allowance ???

Yes exactly

Mean while the UK is handing out billions a year to look after migrants

Yes exactly

What's you favourite Stalin saying - one death is a tragedy, many deaths is a statistic....?

They can't make a phone call? But managed to claim their pension?

Ok.

House is paid for.

£200 a year, be nice to put towards something, but I bet many waste more than that in any year.

 

[JohnD]

Plenty of people who are not pensioners have less.

State pension going up by £400

400 a year Notch.
When you take inflation into account, its not much.

Its seems Labour is taking revenge on those they believe voted for Brexit.
Next on the list are council house dwellers who are to be denied the right to buy the house they have paid 1000's in rent on.
