Last week, the Labour Government made their priorities crystal clear when they decided to cut the Winter Fuel Payments for millions of pensioners. ❤️🩹

🧵 We spoke to some pensioners in Leigh last week about the decision to restrict the winter fuel allowance. I expected it to be a negative reaction, but was taken aback by how negative and particularly to the means testing element. Worth sharing quotes some to show the scale...
