So can someone explain how getting rid of WFA, introduced by Labour, kept in place by Cameron, May, Boris, Sunak is going to ‘fix’ the economy. Try not to mention avocados which only the younger generation buy….
That isn't to difficult to answer. When the black hole in finances was discovered. They had to consider all cuts and benefits. The WFA is the easiest one to limit as the high majority don't require it. It may only be a smallish chunk, but an easy one to start with.
 
Ok, one pensioner gets £11K state pension, lives in a council house, receives disability benefits of £110 per week and at the end of the month after paying all bills has £400 left and gets WFA. One pensioner gets £11k state pension and another private pension of £10K (which gets taxed ) but lives in the same ramshackle old house she’s lived in her whole life. Repair costs average £4K per year plus council tax of £3.5K, heating and lighting takes up another £4K in Calor gas, she gets no WFA. At the end of the month she has nothing left. Now how do you ‘means test’ that or similar scenarios multiplied by ten million…..
this ramshackle house on the front garden of buckingham palace? this is your best effort yet. bravo!
 
The Starmer elite are now squabbling among themselves to claim the plushest 'grace and favour' houses.

Reeves has been handed the 21 bedroom Dorneywood mansion in Buckinghamshire - a mansion eyed up by Deputy PM Angela Rayner.


The winter fuel payments on that mansion will be staggering though, so it could be a bullet dodged by Ange - who'll have to make do with maybe Chevening House in Kent, just 15 bedrooms there though. That said, that's usually reserved for the Foreign Secretary, so probably Lammy is on that one.


File under 'hard choices'.
how long will it take to air out the stench of the incumbents from the past 14 years?
 
Mate, there's a large swathe of people who have said nothing whilst kids have gone hungry, bedroom taxes imposed, benefits claimants mean tested/subjected to stasi style interrogation and monitoring...

Now they're sharing memes on Facebook about pensions not being benefits, why can't we look after own when we fund asylum seekers etc.

Britain in a nutshell. The older version of the sorts who loudly argued for a smaller state, self reliance etc... until covid and they all screamed for support.

*sigh*
for brexit, and the golden days of their youth where women did as they're told and battering people with different colour skin was promoted as a quasi sport and a rollicking laugh.*

It was both mean and spiteful. Has anyone asked either Blair or Brown if they support this. Starmer will save nothing from this. All he’s done is ensure 10 million voters will not vote for him. There are loads of ways to raise money, but this ‘easy one to start with’ is stupid in the extreme. This won’t go away and will dog him throughout his tenure at no10. A black hole wasn't ‘discovered’, it was known by anyone who could be arsed to look. In the same way he lied through his teeth to gain leadership of the Labour Party, he lied through his teeth and hid what he was going to do to become PM. If an election took place next week he would be history, unfortunately we have a few more years of this hypocrisy to live through….

Convinced your a lunatic mate. Not possible any sane person could consistantly post as much drivel as you.

On Ignore you go.
 
disabled
single parents
starving children

yeah... pensioners though. Nice one rummy.
Oh no! THOSE people are all the same and should…let me just check my notes here…work for minimum wage doing pensioners gardens.

Sorry that’s unfair. The starving children have to do unpaid national service doing things like jobs for pensioners first.

Yep that’s the ticket. All sorted.

20-30 notes an hour tending gardens. but be sure to declare it, tax dodgers are a bane to us all. unless they're putting such services on expenses?

Viggers could have got a hell of a big duck island in his £30,000 gardening expenses budget with access to all those serfs at £20 an hour (taxed appropriately)

Could then send the free youth labour up the chimneys like the good old days & keep putting the WFA in “the kitty”
