WheelieDealer I get they’re a hapless bunch but they seem to be obsessed with making themselves incredibly unpopular for reasons that aren’t obvious.
James Melville 🚜 It would have helped if he had raised the threshold for Winter Fuel Allowance to £15000 pa plus those entitled to housing benefit, attendance allowance and carers allowance. I'm not against those on high incomes losing it.
