Default Tory's target "wealthy pensioners"

Fuel allowance will be means tested...

Manifesto measures include:
Balancing the budget by 2025....was this supposed to happen by 2020
No increase in VAT - but scrapping a 2015 election pledge not to raise income tax or National Insurance broken promise
Increasing the national living wage to 60% of the median earnings by 2020
Restating the commitment to bring net immigration down to tens of thousands a year ...she didn't achieve this as Home Sec and wont now
Increasing NHS spending by a minimum of £8bn in real terms over the next five years
A pledge that a referendum on Scottish independence cannot take place until the Brexit process is completed
Scrapping winter fuel payments to better-off pensioners - at the moment, all pensioners qualify for one-off payments of between £100 and £300 each winter
A reduction of the so-called "triple lock" on pensions to a "double lock" with the state pension to rise by the higher of average earnings or inflation - but to no longer go up by 2.5% if they are both lower than that
An extra £4bn on schools in England by 2022 - partly funded by an end to the current provision of free school lunches for all infant pupils in England
Scrapping the ban on setting up new grammar schools
Measures on immigration, including asking firms to pay more to hire migrant workers, who will in turn be asked to pay more to use the NHS
