Labour's
approval rating under Sir Keir Starmer-oid, has fallen 20 percentage points in
just four weeks - the lowest on record. The Daily Telegraph seems to think this
is because people perceive Labour has corrupt and full of cronyism.
Politically,
the decision to end the winter fuel allowance for around 10m pensioners, was
arrant stupidity. It's an action that you'd expect from the politically
clueless and a vile scumbag. I wouldn't be surprised to see Labour do a U-turn
on this or see a shift in their position. When Labour was in opposition, they
were urging the Tories to retain the winter fuel allowance. The excuse that the
country can't afford it, hardly bears scrutiny. They've just given developing
countries £11.6bn in foreign aid to help them cope with climate change. Many
MPs also claim expenses from the British taxpayer for their own energy costs,
despite receiving an annual salary of £91,346 plus expenses.
Labour
have said that they're not the party for people on state benefits and will be
tougher than the Tories, when it comes to cutting the welfare bill. They say
they're the political party for hard-working families and people in work. They
believe that in society, there are the deserving and undeserving. Labour's
Chancellor, Rachel 'Freeze' Reeves, who means-tested the winter fuel allowance,
thinks that many people on state benefits are feckless sturdy beggars, who
shirk their duty and responsibility to work. What she doesn't say, is that
around 40% of people who claim Universal Credit, are people in work, who claim the
state benefit because their wages are so low. This also includes many people
who work in the DWP's Jobcentres.
So,
if you haven't got a job and are a pensioner, disabled or unemployed, Labour
couldn't care less about you. It will only take one British pensioner to die of
hypothermia or starvation and Starmer-oid and his squalid Labour government
will be toast. We're already reading stories about pensioners who can't afford
to heat their homes and have to make a difficult choice between heating and
eating.

I think that a U turn is inevitable at some point . Again , on Radio 4 this morning it was revealed that many Labour MPs have been inundated with letters/emails from constituents complaining about this cut .. As we have said , the hands of Blair and Mandelson have certainly played a part in this as well , and removing Thatcher¬s portrait from No . 10 , won`t make any difference whatsoever .
