📹 “We cannot balance the books by cutting off the heating for our pensioners. Labour has to find a better, fairer way.” RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch calls on Labour to relax fiscal rules and to introduce wealth tax.

I voted against cuts to winter fuel payments. Politics is about choices, and the government has chosen to push pensioners into poverty. What’s next for means testing? The NHS? I will always defend the principle of universalism. That is how we build a fairer society for all.

1 in 5 pensioner households in Cymru live in poverty. The UK Labour government voted to push yet more pensioners into poverty. That decision will cost lives. It is really painful, shameful, that not one Welsh Labour MP voted to keep the winter fuel payment for pensioners.

More than 400 Labour MPs will now always have it on their record that they voted for thousands of people to die this winter from hypothermia just so that Rachel Reeves could balance her books. The country will not forget their geronticide.

Shameful.

Rather than have these unseemly disputes over which Labour minister can use these grace & favour mansions, let’s set a socialist example & use them to give respite breaks to unpaid carers or to some of the pensioners at risk of freezing this winter. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

“It’s no good having sympathy for workers at Grangemouth losing their jobs: they don’t need pity, they need Labour to step up to the plate and not allow a billionaire, who buys a football club as a hobby, to throw these workers on the scrapheap." Sharon Graham

Emergency Motion 1 comes from the Retired Members in Scotland at #UniteSPC24. The ended of Winter Fuel Payments announced by Scottish Govt on 14th of August will see the roughly 150,000 pensioners living in poverty plunged into poverty.

Starmer's creating a £22 billion black hole today. It's called investment in carbon capture and storage. This is an unproven technology whose only purpose is to permit fossil fuel to still be burned. And he's fallen for it. Is that foolishness, stupidity or corruption in play?

Picking the pockets of pensioners while bills are surging, is endangering the welfare of the most vulnerable in society. GOV.UK needs to take a stake in the National Grid UK so workers & communities are prioritised, rather than growing its almost £5 billion in profits. #WinterFuel

The idea that Scottish Government and GOV.UK can't save 400 jobs in a refinery that can make green aviation fuel is a national disgrace. Throwing #Grangemouth workers on the scrapheap will NEVER be forgiven or NEVER forgotten! Unite For A Workers' Economy Unite the union: join a union
