@SianGriffiths6 @thetimes On what grounds?

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@jongaunt @Morrisons I like them, and use them all the time.

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@Steenbeck3 @KevinPascoe No, Its not

But solid attempt at engaging.

Some notes for next time, read the tweets (helps alot) and try to understand them first

If anything is unclear, ask a question

When you make an error, its okay to admit it

Good day

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@Steenbeck3 @KevinPascoe I believe, Its govt responsibility to ensure ALL adequately financed. Don't mean benefits but to enact policies & governance for personal wealth/stability (min wage, opt out private pension, etc)

If any group needs additional for basics, then govt failed to provide policies, etc

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@Steenbeck3 @KevinPascoe Your original comment was solely to say we shouldn't be paying out WFA to wealthy

But at no point has anyone argued for wealthy people to get WFA

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@montie The economic impact of all these strikes was billions, which means large intake reductions for government

To actually proactivity deal with the issues instantly brings stability & increases compared to previous years tax intake

Note: high % of pay rises come back as PAYE & NI

@owenjonesjourno @DAffiliate29881 Political journalism in the written media is already bias

Journalist, editors etc all decide what stories to run, or not, in favour of political parties.

To argue that a 2 year gap will help ensure the scrutinising of all governments without fear or favour is a non starter

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@KevinPascoe I could not agree more

Winter fuel allowance is a failure of governance to ensure certain groups are properly financed during retirement

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@KevinPascoe @DaveLewis12 @robertball58 Can you point me to this

I read 2.1m of pensioners are classed as being in poverty, but there was no indication of number of people in poverty and above benefit threshold.

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@KevinPascoe @DaveLewis12 @robertball58 Well how many pensioners, over the threshold of any other benefit are struggling?

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@KevinPascoe @robertball58 @DaveLewis12 Do you believe pensioners who ARE able to afford to pay their energy bills, and are not struggling at all, should get it?

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@KevinPascoe @DaveLewis12 @robertball58 I make judgements on data

Example, how many struggling pensioners are there over the threshold of any other additional help?

How many of those struggle due to economical factors or how many down to other personal factors

Without facts, no one is "in touch". Its pure guess work

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@DaveLewis12 @KevinPascoe @robertball58 So "if they can" would imply a struggle for money, If millions of pensioners, over the threshold of other benefits, are constantly struggling the issue isn't the removal of the winter fuel allowance but the benefit/pension system as a whole

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@KevinPascoe @robertball58 @DaveLewis12 So unless I'm mistake, the real issue isn't winter fuel coming inline with threshold of other benefits but you believe the state pension is too low?

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@KevinPascoe @robertball58 @DaveLewis12 If pensioners over 11,350 are indeed struggling, why are they only struggling over the winter period?

Energy payments are spread out over the year, surely they need support all year round rather than a one off payment in winter?

@the_date_tokyo @elon_docs That's not what he is doing though

He's controlling the narrative and only promoting the ones that support his ideologies

by definition this is the opposite of diverse perspectives, fostering authentic conversations, or empowering individuals

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@elon_docs No

Musk wants to control the narrative which you can via X

That's why he has spend the last few weeks posting fake news

[matty H #FBPPR #MakeVotesMatter @Shakermakermatt]

@elon_docs @elonmusk Does Musk understand what the truth is?

He seems to be a man who knows of its existence but can't quite contemplate how it works
