Looks like Labour have there own Liz Truss....

Economy could have crashed if winter fuel payments for pensioners weren't cut, Labour minister claims
Commons leader (and Oasis fan) Lucy Powell said Labour 'do look back in anger' at the economy they inherited as she defended making savings by cutting the winter fuel allowance.
It wasn’t what Lucy Powell said though, was it.Looks like Labour have there own Liz Truss....

Which Labour minister said it then?
You should answer that, to support your (false) claim.
Are you not aware of the distribution of wealth in UK society?
I didn’t ask you
I didn't ask you either.
Always glad to help the uninformed
"On average individual wealth increases with age, peaking in the 60-to-64 age group at a level nine times as high as the 30-to-34 age group, before falling in older age groups as people use their wealth to support life in retirement."
"Wealth is unevenly distributed between individuals in Great Britain, with the wealthiest 10% estimated to hold around half of all wealth, primarily in the form of private pensions and property."
"...age was the best predictor of individual wealth..."
"The wealthiest 10% of individuals hold almost half of all wealth"

If you didn't know those basic facts, you may find it difficult to believe the truth.

Prefer it for Notch7 to back up HIS claim
AND £1 million in assets sounds a lot but for people in their 20’s now it’ll become much more of the norm when they are pensioners
And it depends on how this is calculated too

Millionaires don't need £300 hand outs. Get real.
