@susannareid100 Susanna did you ask Ed whether he or his wife ever claimed for heating ?

Bill Stewart1 year ago

@susannareid100 I notice Ed Balls is silent on this one. Why would that be?🧐

@susannareid100 Or...go legally recover the billions in taxpayer money wasted on Covid contracts that produced nothing more than making the wealthy Tory families, friends and Tory donors wealthier by the Conservative government including own Tory MPs....just a thought. 🤷 Ask that to Labour...

@susannareid100 Absolutely shameless. How this country has descended into some dystopian nightmare when a bloke on £120k a year endlessly defends a position to freeze pensioners on £12k. I’m throughly ashamed of this pathetic government. This country is finished.

@susannareid100 Maybe they should also be looking at why they took pensioners heating allowance for the whole winter away, when the well off people in the house of lords get more money per day just for attending

ACR1 year ago

@susannareid100 No because work related expenses as set by HRMC are available to anybody regardless of salary or job role. I'm pretty sure @susannareid100 can afford to pay for her own travel to the studio and not have a car laid on for her.

@susannareid100 There’s no coming back for Labour now,they’ve set out who they are under starmer.They are the new conservatives under thatcher rule in 2024.Steal money from taxpayers,pensioners, businesses and farmers and give it to the Blackrock,gates and migrants.But we see them now.

@susannareid100 Wonder if @edballs found that a little squirmy

Frances Smith1 year ago

@susannareid100 Disingenuous. Household Support Fund decisions are made by local councils @AlexJJNorris not an automatic right. It'd be reasonable to limit the amount an MP can claim for heating a 2nd home, not just hand out money for large family homes. Most employers would limit the claim.

@susannareid100 Does Mr @YvetteCooperMP get the heating bills paid at his wife's second home in London and does he stay there while presenting @GMB? @edballs

348 Labour MPs earning £91,346 a year (many of whom get their heating costs in their second homes paid by taxpayers) voted in parliament to take away the winter fuel allowance from millions of pensioners. Their conceit, nefariousness and hypocritical entitlement is disgraceful.

Lady in glasses, "570 MPs are entitled to claim £3,500 heating allowance.. If those 570 MPs didn't, over 6,700 pensioners would get a winter fuel benefit" "How do you justify withdrawing the money from pensioners? #BBCQT She has a point. If energy bill support is means tested then clearly MPs with their salaries are far above the threshold and perhaps shouldn't be granted the allowance

Kuenssberg asks, how can we afford to pay people £15/hour LK, who earns around £400,000/year, doesn't ask, how can people afford to live on less than £15/hour? Neither does she ask, should we be subsidising the profits of businesses by topping up the poverty wages they pay?

You know what's wild? Most people would be fine or wouldn't even notice billions of their tax dollars going to better the lives of foreign nations if they themselves could afford a better life. People don't normally pay attention to what's going on until it impacts their lives directly. We learned that during Covid.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "Let me explain to you guys this in simple English, ok? Iran is run by lunatics — religious fanatic lunatics. The President made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their navy, take away their drones, take away their ability to make those things, so that they can never have a nuclear weapon… It was the right decision — and the world will be a safer place when these radical clerics no longer have access to these weapons. You see how they're using them now. Imagine how they would use them a year from now if they had more of these." Watch OAN on Spectrum and YouTube TV Today!

Rumour has it, Ed Miliband wants to be the next Chancellor. Ed seems to think growth comes from state control and fairness means he gives away more of other people’s money. He has to be about the only person who would do a worse job than Rachel Reeves.
