@Jenny_1884 They will do that next I’m certain!

So when’s the vote to take away the free Bus Pass 🚌 for Pensioners & Prescriptions Might as well go the whole hog hey Labour Disgusting Charlatans Shame on the lot of you

@ros_hutchinson Not the majority - the actual reality is they have taken £300 away from pensioners but can claim heating allowance themselves on £91k a year. That will never be morally right!

@JeremyVineOn5 No it’s not unfair!

Should airlines make obese fliers buy two seats? A photo of a passenger on a flight from Helsinki to Copenhagen has gone viral as it appears to show him struggling to fit in the seat, prompting people online to say he should purchase two. Is that unfair?

@BBCBreakfast Why abstain - coward like every other Labour councillor or mp!

'Older people are fearful and they feel abandoned' Labour MP Rachel Maskell told #BBCBreakfast she is opposed to government plans to scrap automatic winter fuel payments of up to £300 for pensioners and will abstain in a vote by MPs on the issue bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@GuillermElodie Absolutely the current Government is no better!

@mooramana @MartinSLewis The generation Labour are targeting are proud and hard working people who don’t want to claim what they see as hand outs. Labour are banking on this - pure scum party!

@MartinSLewis I work for a local authority as a welfare rights advisor. The authority has identified all pensioners eligible to claim and has written out to them inviting them to claim and access to the team I’m a part of to claim. To date the take up has been slow… people are proud

Part of the problem with winter fuel payments is the chronic underclaiming of Pension Credit, a key benefit that now triggers entitlement. It's thought 880,000 due it won't get it, and they're the poorest pensioners. I doubt the awareness raising campaign can have much impact on that (I and others have been shouting about it until we're blue in the face, for years) It needs proactive one on one contacting of likely candidates, eg those not getting full state pensions. Yet even that is hard because there are so many scams targeting elderly how do you ensure people trust that it is legit? I'd be interested in your ideas on how to reach the hard to reach pensioners who may be eligible.

@beesley_cathy Meanwhile all you construction workers, we don’t care about you, you can keep mixing together and catch whatever. We just don’t want our government to do so!

Imagine thinking it was a good idea to party like it was 1999 during lockdown and thousands weren’t dying of covid weekly and people couldn’t visit their dying relatives while you sent out for suitcases of wine…

@BrexitPirates She looks like she’s at work!

@Otto_English I am, she was the first PM, whether she did right or wrong is irrelevant - he doesn’t own No. 10 he’s a Tenant and should respect any previous PM despite the politics!

Nobody... and I mean NOBODY is outraged

@matt_spriggs Been logged in since 6.30 then kicked out I hate Ticketmaster!

"Please make sure you're signed in to your account." Well it'd help if your sign in page redirect actually didn't fall over....

First time I've ever been placed in a queue to get into the queue. #ticketmaster #oasis25

@oasis Could cry right now been logged in since 6.30 on all sites and now can’t even join waiting rooms 😢

@toryboypierce The man is an idiot!

Big policy announcement from #KeirStarmer he's removed portrait of Mrs Thatcher from Downing St study. Tribal and puerile

@Kevin_Maguire @GMB I agree with him, train service in this country, especially the North East is shocking. They have not been given any targets to hit to justify this pay rise.

Tory leadership hopeful Robert Jenrick said on @GMB he wouldn’t have honoured independent review body 5.5% pay awards for 5.5m key workers.

@PaulBrandITV What a load of codswallop!

“The garden that was once used for lockdown parties… remember the photos of the wine and the cheese just over there… well this garden and this building are now back in your service” says Starmer.

@MPFed The culprits will be fast tracked through the courts I presume!

15 Metropolitan Police officers assaulted at the Notting Hill Carnival yesterday. Punched, headbutted, spat at. Sadly predictable. We wish all injured colleagues well and continue to support all officers working at the event. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@PippyBing The only time I have had to queue was when my children were under 18 years old during Summer holidays! Can’t understand everyone else’s frustration.

Am I the only person in the U.K. who doesn’t experience long queues at passport control when I go away on holiday? It’s always exactly the same as before. Queues at airports have become an obsessive talking point for some people.

@TheFreds The only issue I have had is when I get back home and have to queue! Off the plane and through passport control within 10 minutes at Palma airport last week!

@birdwoman1966 Age UK will send someone to do it for you, they know exactly what to write.

Filling in the Attendance Allowance claim form for my mum, who is 87 and ill. 29 pages.

@EuropeInvasionn He’s a misogynistic terrorist according to @YvetteCooperMP so has he been arrested yet?
