However should be after 7 days immaterial of when the 7th day is reached.

However, I am disappointed and dismayed.
Moreso though disgusted with this government I fought to elect.

I cannot support the elderly losing this payment.
This whole government of whoever support this cutting of this payment WILL be responsible for any deaths related to not being able to heat homes.
No doubt about it.

I still cannot believe it is being done, despite the outcry from the CAB, the age charities and other organisations too.
Strength and power abused is not what I hoped for here.

If this goes ahead, if pensioners die because of not being able to PROPERLY and FULLY keep their homes heated.
Then my membership of Labour will be terminated and I will not be the only one by a long way.

No, this is WRONG and it's as heartless as anything the Cons ever did in government.
Yes HEARTLESS, that's exactly all it is.
Reeves is a disgrace.
If Starmer cannot stand up to her then he will be equally as bad.

That is sad to see Joey, I must admit I didn't expect this from Labour I couldnt vote for anyone as I was just sick of being lied to, that said I never thought Labour's first port of call would be pensioners, if we are all going to feel this pain it will be interesting where else they will find 'broad shoulders from'
