We live in Britain in 2024, there should not be a mad rush at 8am in order to speak to a doctor.

It's just ludicrous how this has not been resolved, across all surgeries yet.

How many don't even bother, knowing the hassle?

It is absolutely amazing that this is still going on.

Don't complain about how much welfare benefits cost. Over 40% of Universal Credit goes to people who are working. No one working should need UC. No one is even trying to solve the real problems in the UK.

No one.

Look at this guy.

• No car
• No house
• Just 15 items to his name

Yet, he travels 7 months per year and works 4 hours a day.

Here's the secret that made him unstoppable (that anyone can use):

Poor mental health accounts for over half of all work-related illnesses (HSE 2022), supporting mental health is about prevention, not just crisis response. We need to help young people build resilience and equip them with tools to manage stress, change and an ever changing world.

4. The Role of Minerals.

Why It Matters:

Minerals like sodium, calcium and magnesium play a crucial role in water retention and hydration at the cellular level.

Without these, your body may not retain the water you consume effectively.

How to Get It:

@10DowningStreet @Keir_Starmer Just look at this 👇it's not acceptable and now you are taking away winter fuel payments shameful. Its in your power to do something. #Pensions #pensioners #worstintheworld

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The UK state pension, worst in the world.

[Peace & Justice Project @corbyn_project]

Not content with keeping hundreds of thousands of children in poverty by protecting the two-child benefit cap, the new Labour government has now decided to scrap winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners.

Shameful.

News. The Chancellor's just announced Winter Fuel Payments will no longer be universal to all pensioners, now only pensioners on benefits will get it - in my view that's too narrow a group. Here's my formal statement to @RachelReevesMP ...
--------------
The targeting of Winter Fuel Payments is too narrow with the winter we have coming. Pensioners were already due to get less as this will be the first time since winter 2022 they haven’t got the up to £300 extra winter fuel cost of living top-up.

The Energy Price Cap is likely to rise 10% this October and stay high across the winter, leaving most energy bills nearly double those pre-crisis, at levels unaffordable for millions.

Many pensioners eke out the £100 to £300 Winter Fuel Payments to allow them to keep some heating on through the cold months. While there's an argument for ending its universality due to tight national finances, it's being squeezed to too narrow a group – just those on benefits and Pension Credit.

Yet again, those just above the thresholds will be hardest hit. This is often justified as there's a 'lack of household income data' to allow other targeting. However, there's a usable precedent from the emergency energy crisis measures announced in April 2022, which I'd urge the Government to look at.

Then, a payment was made to homes in council tax bands A to D – as an imperfect but workable proxy for lower household incomes. That'd allow an additional group of lower to middle-income pensioners to keep the payments and mitigate bill shocks. Councils' discretionary funds could also be funded as in April 2022, for the limited numbers who still need help but don't qualify.

Plus, with this announcement, the Government has a huge moral imperative to ensure the 800,000 people eligible for Pension Credit who don't get it, are informed, educated and helped through the process. It is planning an awareness-raising campaign, but it needs to ensure that reaches every corner – and if possible proactively and personally contact people.

Pension Credit is a crucial gateway benefit, giving access to a host of other entitlements, and now with the link to the Winter Fuel Payment, it makes it even more important to ensure fewer miss out."
