There you go again with your reference to an estimate that was based upon completely different energy prices. But answer your question, if you make the assertion of deaths as a result of the means testing of the winter fuels payments it’s for you to produce the evidence. Interestingly senior Tory with ambitions for leadership Robert Jenrick was asked multiple times on Sky TV if a future Tory Government would abolish the means testing of the winter fuel allowance. He slid around like a wet bar of soap trying to avoid giving an answer. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/wilfred-frost-challenges-robert-jenrick-on-winter-fuel-plan_uk_682ed91ae4b0ef574bf5831c/

I’m still waiting for anyone to produce evidence of the means testing of winter fuels allowance resulting in any old age pensioner dying of cold. 40,800 deaths in the winter of 2014/15 compared to 4,950 in the winter following g the introduction of means testing of the winter fuels allowance a reduction in excess mortality of 87.8%. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/siteassets/documents/reports-and-publications/reports-and-briefings/health--wellbeing/age_uk_excess_winter_deaths_briefing_june_2016.pdf https://www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/4950-excess-winter-deaths-caused-by-cold-homes-last-winter/

Well that and your ever present problem with intelligent, articulate and assertive women.

Reversing the barriers to young Brits being able to study and work abroad is a positive move retiring opportunities stripped away by the vandalism that was Brexit. I’ve removed the photo you posted from my response, and I’ll not answer your relayed question, nothing personal, it’s just I don’t give dating advice.

There was no complaints on that matter when a Federal judge was frequently called upon to overturn Biden’s executive orders.

Trump running other people’s businesses by edict. He’s going for the full blown command economy stuff. It’ll not be long before he’ll be telling kids how many dolls and pencils they are allowed to have.

A working class woman as PM, I can understand from your posting history how you would object to that. Goodness, a woman born and raised on a council estate eying the highest public office in the land. How dare she? The counter jumper should know her place!

I understand the excess deaths amongst the over 65s in the winter following the Labour’s implementation of means testing winter fuels allowance were in the order of 4,950. This is a staggering reduction of 87.8% from the appalling 40,800 deaths that occurred in the winter of 2014/2015 under the Tory Administration. I look forward to anyone producing evidence that the means testing of winter fuels allowances caused any of those 4,950 excess deaths while cautioning against relying on correlation as causation, lest the staggering difference in excess deaths amongst pensioners under each government takes us off topic. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/siteassets/documents/reports-and-publications/reports-and-briefings/health--wellbeing/age_uk_excess_winter_deaths_briefing_june_2016.pdf https://www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/4950-excess-winter-deaths-caused-by-cold-homes-last-winter/

Nonsense, oil and gas extracted in the UK is the property of the companies that hold the licenses. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-67945281#:~:text=He is right.," Dr Cran-McGreehin says.

Bezalel Smotrich has been very clear about his view of how tris war in Gaza ends. The complete destruction of Gaza and the displacement of the Palestinians. Trump personal envoy Steve Witkoff had this to say: “We want to bring the hostages home, but Israel is not willing to end the war. Israel is prolonging it.” So perhaps Bezalel Smotrich is simply saying the quiet bit out loud, the objective is ethnic cleansing of Palestine and a land grab. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/16/donald-trump-middle-east-tour-should-terrify-benjamin-netanyahu-usa-israel

You did however state during your election campaign that you would end this war in 24hrs. You own that Donny as much as it now owns you.

Has announced his dad as his VP pick yet? I do though think he’s getting ahead of himself. Let’s see what the mid-terms bring.

Excellent news. The UK’s return to the Erasmus program is the big prize here, great news for UK students, British universities, British athletes and British sports professionals. The Tories taking the UK out of Erasmus was an act of wanton vandalism. Get it done, you know it makes sense.

Jonny, you’ve claimed granny freezing. Do you have evidence that this actually happened?

Don’t you just miss the days of farmers spraying toxic chemicals on the land. I do hope you didn’t breathe any of that stuff in.

Oil and gas prices are set by the international market, the UK would pay that international market price regardless of the source. On the other hand renewable energy prices are not set by the international market.

This as the head of Thames Water has been caught out lying through his teeth to the Parliamentary Committee examining the failures of the privatized water industry. A man heading a business with an absolute monopoly of the water supply to millions of British consumers now begging the Government and consumers to take on the £Billions of debt his company has run up together with offloading on consumers the costs of repairs and infrastructure development that his business has failed to provide over 35 years. Runs up massive debts, fails to invest, creams off profits and lies to Parliament that creditors agreed for fat bonuses to paid out of the financial rescue package to the directors who have sunk the business. Yet another failed Tory privatization providing a text book example of privatized profits and socialized costs. Water and sewage costs up 26.1% while water company directors make off like bandits. Utterly disgusting.

No Grannies froze. He hasn’t backed down, he’s simply raised the means tested cut-off. Former colleagues of mine retired on cumulative pensions of over twice the UK median wage will still my get the winter fuel allowance, nor should they.

Tapper turns his personal Biden feud into a hit piece then cancels all his scheduled appearances to promote it.

Starmer cancelled the Tories failed Rwanda scam and saved tax payers £millions.

The UK paid £hundreds of millions to Rwanda for which they managed to deport 4 individuals, and they volunteered to leave.

While simultaneously enjoying free accommodation in your head.

1. Leave the EU? 2. Remain in the EU?

The earth shattering importance of this deal to Reform is confirmed by only two Reform MPs attending the debate on the matter in Parliament, neither of which was Farage.
