The proposed policy change is generally fair, better off people dont need the allowance but as thatch found out with the poll tax it don't always work that way. It is unfair on the 800,000 or so elderly who are eligible for pension credit but don't claim it, they will lose out. It could be largely remedied by making householders in the lower council tax bands eligible. But the government cynically took that “saving” into account when calculating how much they would make. That is unfair.Yes I think Starmer should be eradicated, his WFA policy will condem a lot of pensioners to a cold miseable end this winter while he spunks our money on foreigners.
