Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

Re: Labour Election Promises (Broken) Thread

10 million pensioners will lose their Winter Fuel Payment. Labour said nothing about that in their manifesto, so have no democratic mandate to do it and pensioners will rightly feel betrayed. If this were a tory government decision then the social comedian Sludge would be all over it - Two Tier Sludge.

When the country is on its knees, paying wealthy older people to fund their energy is mindless.

I don't have a problem with wealthy pensioners losing the winter fuel payment. As long as those in need including those with sky high energy needs due to disabilities are supported I don't have an issue with the decision.

Giving someone like Mick Jagger £300 towards his energy needs is just plain stupid.

I think the biggest single worrying aspect of the new Labour government is that......it sounds just like the old Tory government....and the government before that....and the government before that......

So nothing ever changes eh? Wow quel surprise….no doubt he’s about to tax the usual suspects and give it out to those that don’t….as per the socialist way. That will encourage the 800,000 youngsters who aren’t in work or education to sort themselves out

I wonder if Charlie and his missus will get theirs? Now there's a couple desperate for something to tide them over.

I can do a tea with you but I don't drink alcohol while I'm in training for my next super heavyweight ultimate bare knuckle boxing fight, there's no way I'm risking losing my 52-0-0 (52 KO's) record

That’s a better record than Larry Holmes.

I’ve been in Monaco recently, the amount of Ukrainian vehicles cruising around is staggering

Those F1 cars are too wide for the streets there!

Although I don't disagree on this point, there isn't a huge intellectual jump to then ask why we are helping Mick Jagger with his healthcare costs or street lights or anything else the public purse pays for.

can we please stop with the Mick Jagger stuff, every thread on here is constantly one wrong move away from becoming a pun thread and I feel like you're really dangling the worm out there with this line of conversation

I know what you mean but don't get too upset about it. You would be a fool to cry about it

Two more great examples thanks.

As I've said as long as those who need it get it I don't have an issue. If those who need it don't get it that is a problem. I suspect many on here don't need it but resent losing it.
