Finally a little balance to WFA story
This is the very reason the system needs to change - no if's no buts
The reality is currently the threshold is too low - that is the fault in current policy

I see the Lab gov is getting grief over the lack of an impact statement on mean-testing the winter fuel allowance. Fair enough. Could anyone point me to the impact statement from the Cameron gov on the UK leaving the EU? Just asking in the interest of balance.
People in relationships that communicate via social media are weird. Commenting on each others' posts like they're having a conversation. You've got each others phone numbers, text privately you freaks.
I should not get winter fuel allowance. Lots of people should not get winter fuel allowance…lots should. A universal scheme was wrong . I’m not sure what the threshold should be but it should be means tested.
After interviewing five Prime Ministers without properly challenging them, Laura Kuenssberg finally discovers how to do it the minute Labour get into power.

In no way should any government be allowed to operate without scrutiny but this frenzied desperation to hold Labour accountable for not turning the entire country around within 6 weeks of 14 years of Tory mismanagement, corruption & cronyism is utterly ridiculous

Thanks BBC, but a more accurate headline might be ‘career criminal who pleaded guilty to violent disorder sent back to prison as he was still on licence for a 20 year sentence for smuggling cocaine’.
Racists don't have 'legitimate concerns.'
They're just racists.
They haven't been 'left behind'. They're just racists.
They don't seek a 'mature debate about immigration'.
They're just racists.
They aren't patriots,
a silent majority
or free speech apostles.
They're just racists.
In case you're wondering about the weird hysteria gripping the British right at the moment:
-->The Labour government has yet to pass a single piece of legislation, because Parliament is in recess
-->The sentencing guidelines for rioters haven't been changed since the election
Right Wingers during 14 years of Tory rule:
“Crack down on crime! Lock them up!”
Right wingers after 6 weeks of Labour in power:
“How dare you punish people for breaking the law!”
If you’re lucky, you’re on this earth for maybe, what, 70, 80 years? Is it really too much to ask you to just leave other people alone and let them try to have a nice life without being be an absolute nob head about it?

The same people who spent 14 years cheerleading an administration that imposed huge restrictions on protest rights and blacklisted anyone criticising the government from official events, now suddenly acting like we're in an Orwellian nightmare, six weeks into a Labour government
Another long day in the company of enraged halfwits, convinced by far-right Twitter memes that the UK’s tradition of free speech is imperilled by *CHECKS NOTES* people being prosecuted for public violence, and inciting violence, under laws that have been used daily for decades.
So many people don't want to admit it but a tax increase for the wealthiest in society is a pretty easy fix for most societal problems. I know it's not exactly fair but they can afford it and the rest of us can't
