The Leader of the House of Commons has defended the scrapping of the winter fuel payment:-
“If we had not used this to get to grips with the public finances deficit, there would have been a run on the pound, the economy would crash, Putin would spot a weakness and invade, the resultant nuclear war would kill all life on earth, knock the Earth out of its’ orbit and make it spiral into the sun.
And all because a handful of whinging greedy coffin dodgers can’t be arsed to dress sensibly and cut down on the weekly Waitrose shopping. Do they not realise the sacrifices others are making? Our beloved leader Kim Jong Starmer has given up his summer holiday! Whereas I, whereas I......
Anyway a lot of them won’t realise anything different as they can’t afford TV licences. And the next general election is nearly five years away. Long enough for the issue to ‘die down’ – most likely from hypothermia”
