Labour Government’s Bold Claim to “honesty with voters” Has Unraveled Quickly

To be clear it's been a pack of lies all the way from free gear to Rachels' black hole, I'm sure the future' frozen to death pensioner inquiry will find the same 🤔

I think the main offense was giving a pay rise to train drivers already earning a decent wage and then taking winter fuel payments away from old aged pensioners.

Taking winter fuel payments away from pensioners who already have incomes above the support threshold while maintaining the triple lock.

 

Since then increasing the minimum wage by 6.7%, massively increasing funding to schools and the NHS while not increasing taxes on ordinary working people.

It’s a good start.

The winter fuel cut off is a derisory £215.18 pw not enough to buy a shoelace for that discussing freeloader Keir's designer brogues.

 

 The latest news on the triple lock pension for 2024/25 is that the full state pension will increase by £472 per year from April 2025. This is due to the triple lock, which ensures that the state pension increases each year by the highest of the following three figures: 2.5%, inflation, or earnings growth. The 4.1% increase is in line with the rise in wages. 

 

£9.07p per week (If you are the 1 in 5 who receives full state pension) less 20% tax if your total income is above £12,571pa take away the £200 winter fuel allowance you are not getting! and most will end up with less than a fiver a week .

 

Whilst the train drivers who held the country to ransom for example got £10k for no extra work.

 

A completely lying start more like🤔

Taking winter fuel payments away from people on one of the lowest pensions in Europe with one of the highest energy bills in Europe which at best saves £1.4bn and if those struggling manage to complete the 243 question form for pension credits will cost the government more money.   Labours own research said this will kill 4000 people before their time.   Meanwhile they managed to find (borrow) money to throw away on the following:

 

£11bn wasted on climate payments to Africa.

£13bn wasted on foreign aid

£22bn wasted on "carbon capture"

£3bn wasted on Zelensky

 

As you have never run a business it's clear you understand as little as the clowns in government of the impact of employers NIC on ordinary working people and how it will force employers to employ less people at lower wages.

I think this is not quite accurate, part of it was that they occasionally worked 5 days a week like the rest of the working population.
