Every pensioner that voted labour should be ashamed of themselves.

Pensioners are an easy target, they cant exactly strike like Teachers or Nurses. SHAME on the Labour Party!

£6.4 B for illegal migrants but can’t afford £1.5 B for our pensioners
-
So they are cutting off money for pensioners who have paid into the system all their life in order to claw back money! Yet, they are housing in warm hotels and providing meals and all the trimmings to people who don’t have any right to be here at all! I find this despicable!

Labour just lost 9 million voters

Pensioners are not classed as "working people" despite paying National Insurance for many years to support others. As a 75 year old who worked for 50 years before retiring I hope that the the MPs will quickly let us know when they will cease to take fuel cost "expenses" for their second properties.

And every immigrant in nice warm hotels who never paid a penny into the system will be smiling
-
Useless laughing labour hypocrite party

She could save £12 million a day easily, maybe Mr. Zelensky will send some money back to the pensioners
