Tories tell Labour MPs to ‘look to your conscience’ over winter fuel payments

42 comments

1. Names of all MPs who agreed to cut

2. Could the MPs voluntarily give up their energy allowance for second homes and accommodation budget to make up for the black hole, too? The MPs must share the pain if they want to cut other's fuel payments.

3. Shameless starmer

4. The state pension has become very generous indeed and people can afford to pay their own heating costs out of it.

5. Conscience? Mp’s?……..don’t make me laugh!!!!!

6. What is the difference between Labour and the Torys
   .Non

7. That’s a rich suggestion, coming from a party without a conscience.

8. You do all realise Starmer has a six figure, tax free, pension from his previous job as GG of DPP.

9. What does the Guardian think? By their lack of response the tacitly agree

10. My heating will be off. The cost of the standing charges are quite high even though it will off.

11. From the people that brought you austerity for the poorest and specifically scrapped the £20 uplift. They’re hiding their spite and disdain better than when they were in government.

12. over 300 new mps in the labour party , they are easily led will feel like wining the lottery 91k plus expenses plus as much heating you want ba ba ba ba ba baar

13. I'm not sure getting Mel Stride to try and convince opposition MP's to vote against something was the greatest idea. He couldn't even get his own Tory colleagues to vote for him in their own leadership election!

14. Labour has Putin thinking shame on Labour

15. If only they could look at their own moral compass when they cut benefits to those out of work, those children who are in real poverty and can't afford to eat.

16. Great to see the Labour supporters in the chat taking the government's line and dooming their party to decades in the wilderness next general election.

17. Conservatives hypocrisy is hard to stomach. Perhaps if there had been less corruption on their watch there would have been more money for pensioners.

18. This from a party that wanted to starve kids and sent pensioners back to care homes with covid 😂😂😂😂😂

19. When the Tories gave £50 billion to fraudsters and their mates during the pandemic, I wonder why people did not show sufficient anger then. Puzzling.
    That money could have settled a lot of things.

20. Ah, such a great idea, only not in this case as politicians don't have a conscience

21. Congratulations to whoever voted Labour.

22. Starmer et Al have no conscience!

23. The cost of the winter fuel payments of £300 from now until the end of march is £1.6 billion, the cost of housing illegal migrants at £8 million a day from now until the end of march is £1.578 billion,, coincidence ?

24. Labour betraying the working classes again

25. Sunak was a hero compared with starmer

26. clear conscience considering this only hurts the wealthy Tory voter base

27. It's the elderly home owners who say work harder and save-up like we did. It is a different world and they are not immune.

28. You cannot vote Labor and still have conscience

29. The great Labour betrayal

30. The party of working people. 😂😂😂. At least with the Tories working class Brit’s knew they were going to get rodgered

31. The winter fuel payment was first introduced in 1997 by the english tory exchequer Gordon Broon

32. Silly thry don't have one , when it comes to its citizens , thats reserved for boat people

33. علامہ اقبال کی سربراہی اجلاس میں شرکت کی دعوت دی گئی ہے 2021اگست میں کچھ ایسے بھی ہوتے ہیں

34. Those MPs eho all voted 'For' had been threatened with whip removal by Starmer prior to the vote. So how on earth can a fair result be gotten? The man is a tyrant and a bully, a totalitarian megalomaniac. The vote should have been done anonymously and not with a gun held to peoples heads.

35. Does anyone think the public are waking up yet???

36. First they came for the pensioners

37. Mel Stride learned a new word 😂 conscience!

38. Am I missing something? Weren’t the Tories in power for quite a long while? If they now feel so strongly about this then why didn’t they do anything about it when they were in charge?

39. How many mp's claimed fuel allowance. They should pay it back.

40. STARMER THE PENSIONER HARMER. Spread this slogan nationwide.

41. Wilson Mark Robinson Edward Miller Amy

42. Hell's teeth the Guardian….the Volkischer Beobachter of the 21st century doing a piece favouring the Tories!!

    WHAT is going on?
