Happily it'll be a bit easier for many of them thanks to Labour's ongoing efforts at pay deals for workers after a generation of real-term cuts. Rock on, #TopTierRedKeir.
Amazing that Dave span the Starmer Wheel of Misfortune yesterday and somehow landed on "How dare he give workers a fair wage".
1 million pensioners are officially in poverty and many more are too afraid of turning on gas and electric fires in winter for fear that their bills (due to go up by almost 10% again in the coming months) will be too costly for them.
Pensioners are especially vulnerable to the effects of hypothermia which can make manageable ailments people get in later life such as cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, Parkinsons, and thyroid problems into fatal conditions.
But you go right ahead with your Darwinian devil-take-the-hindmost view. The cut to the treasury of £1.5 billion will be worth a few more hundred pensioners not surviving the winter this year.

Y'know Dave, there is a problem in this country in that I think there's a distinct disconnect and lack of empathy between generations.
It's not healthy and the country will suffer unless the divide is healed. I'm talking the discourse of pensioners voting Tory/reform/brexit and fisting younger voters, of hoovering up property and assets, of getting golden handshake triple lock pensions and a good deal for voting Tory. I'm talking the perception that young people are grasping entitled and lazy good for nothings frittering their hard earned on coffee and avocado toast. That they're bad lazy Corbynites with no grasp on 'real life'. That the working age, particularly unionised, voters who voted Labour are being rewarded for their vote.
The country needs to heal. To hug it out. To be prepared to share.

Interesting, but wholly unsurprising, that a serial liar, born with all the advantages our broken economic system can bestow, a compulsive cheat, adulterer and inept buffoon is not the problem.

""They are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there's no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first."
It's her, it's been her since she sleazed her way in with promises of crushing the poor for eternity. Over and over again, it is "I'm alright Jack!".
Winter aint arrived yet, warm front was hammered under cameron in 2013, yet...
46% of children in families with three or more children were in poverty, up from 36% in 2011/12
The government has estimated that 4.3 million children, or 30% of all children in the UK, were living in relative low-income households after housing costs in 2022/23. This represents an increase on the previous year. The government has said unexpectedly high inflation, driven by the war in...

Marcus Rashford went to battle over free school meals for the poorest kids, and eventually won a long protracted war where the light he and others shone onto the treatment of the most vulnerable in society eventually embarrassed the tory scum into relenting and finally feeding hungry children.
Where were the dynamic duo then though? Not a peep, as usual. To busy washing their tights and counting their money.
