Better-off pensioners to pay for WFA U-turn? 10:07 - Jun 5 with 5459 viewsAnotherJohn

There are rumours that the widening of eligibility for payment of winter fuel allowance will be funded by increasing the taxes to be paid by better-off pensioners.

Things should become clearer soon, but it looks likely that our own Swansea West MP will have a big say in the policy decided. Will some be unhappy that pensioners who saved and made provision for their retirement will subsidize those who did not, or is this just a case of fairness? Will a certain pensioner property rentier be in the frame?

Dear all, please bear in mind all the hard work I have to do so you can debate how much you get from my taxes.
I'm off now, all the pressures in the turbine are perfect without any adjustments, everything was in order when I took it apart, no replacements needed and it went together like a dream.

It could be trying to "set an example". My Mam used to get hers and pop into Morgans for an expensive coffee with the ladies.

I’m assuming we are all working class on here….if so it amazes me how we bicker amongst ourselves for a few crumbs whilst Amazon, Apple, HS2 projects screw us for millions if not billions.
I’d take anything I was offered until every person, every company pays their fare share.

Just to add politicians claim anything going and available on their second homes .

Oh dear they need to be in Westminster waffling but will not travel with the great unwashed on a tube or train , vital I need to be in Parliament though on that day .

The sleeping occupants of the House of Lords , £300 per day it seems just to have an afternoon nap .
