Maybe it would have all changed if the Tories got in again,but the funny thing is we expect it from them ...but Labour were supposed to be the opposite ie helping the working class, pensioners , the poor etc .

Cutting winter fuel allowance to pensioners is a bizarre decision IMO I have no idea who signed off on that - I don't believe for a second the Tories just care so much about the elderly and that's why the Tories didn't do it... they didn't do it because it saves eff all money whilst being absolutely
abysmal PR. I cannot fathom why they've done it. If it was saving billions, sure. But pinching pennies from the elderly, from something like staying warm in winter...? The optics of it are shocking. That's why the Tories didn't do it. The political cost MASSIVELY outweighs any saving on the budget.
