[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't think they are.
I think that they have listened to the people on a number of issues.
There are always going to be old folk...heck I am one of them.
I do not want something for nothing. I want to pay my way, I want to retain as much independence as possible, for as long as possible.
The removal of Winter Fuel payment for the pensioners who are not on pension credits means that those who are in real need should get this.
As for using your house to pay for your care. This has changed too so that you will get to keep more of your money.
What makes people think that the state is responsible for their upkeep?
I worked for all of my life, I contributed to the good of the country.
I STILL contribute(through my taxes). It is an honest PM that I want. She has to do what will balance the books.
I suppose JC would have us all live in the lap of luxury(paid for by those rich folk he wants to tax out of existence, because be sure they would leave in droves to somewhere more hospitable to them)...he would borrow to fund his vision of Utopia...but when you borrow, the money has to be paid back with interest.
We have had servings of that, it doesn't work, it never has.
I will not be voting for any Labour candidate until they have a leader, rather than a Union Shop Steward.
Until they have a real grip on what concerns the electorate.
