Although I do realise the scale of the mess they're left with.

Because of the debt level it leaves borrowing out more or less too.
The debt level that has reached terrible levels over the last 14 years.

However I do think the wrong choices are being made
I want to hear what comes from conference without the media's biased agenda's being presented.
Labour MPs and members are far from happy however I'd like to see what is the extra help.

However too, I was talking to a pensioner last week, who said she couldn't get pension credit.
I said are you sure can we explore that.
So brought up the pension credit details.
( The form is absolutely horrendous and ridiculously too long, no wonder people don't bother).

Anyway this pensioner has savings, a works pension, owned her home so we did the quick calculator for it.
Not asked for name and address just date of birth and gender.

It said on the information given she could get £2.76 a week pension credit.
She never believed she'd qualify.
So her claim is now in.

Having said that, I just have to though agree with you.
Pensioners and others are getting stressed and frightened.
That's not an overstatement it's a fact.
Which I am really mad about and disappointed in the government as to.

There must be easier, less stressful for the elderly and others as to ways of raising extra funding.
I think the hole in the finances is worse than was believed before the election.
The OBR has indicated the previous government didn't give them the full information in the last financial statement.
I do NOT though think it's as bad as Reeves has stated either.
I'm now not sure how I feel as to her really.

I hoped this government would listen and really listen, not just hear.
That doesn't at this moment seem the case at all.
I think she may and hope Reeves does have a tough time at conference.

I'm really disappointed in them thus far on these issues.
Not content at all.
So I agree with your post above.

oh thats brilliant, I will look into it for my aunt, yeah I believe its like 240 questions or thereabouts thanks Joey
