Andy Burnham next month: "I know pensioners are worried about cold season who can't afford heating. You can download a weather app to prepare yourself better. Then you can use Google Maps to find your nearest British Heart Foundations who sell cheaper blankets."
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.   The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.   But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.   That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.   It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

Suggest you read page 76 of the Labour Manifesto 2024 - in case the writing is small it says "Labour will retain the triple lock" Bit gutted that you don't know your own manifesto, lad.

Be clear, Burnham - if a person needs to go into a care or nursing home, will they be expected to pay the full costs of accommodation, which could mean selling their house to pay for it?

How about stopping spending £Billions on War, Weapons and Genocide? I suppose your donors won’t allow that.

So the State Pension, the lowest in the OECD, is to decrease in value over time. There’s sophistry here. You don’t acknowledge that we have low pensions in the UK already. If the NCS is publicly owned and run, then Good. But I suspect you’re going to farm it out to profiteers.

Watching people become more cruel, less compassionate, and increasingly disconnected from basic empathy is genuinely exhausting. sometimes it feels like we’re moving backwards as a society and just accepting it as normal.

The DWP stripped benefits from a boy who is wheelchair-bound, blind, and nonverbal, and tried to force him into finding work. Rock legend Sir Rod Stewart heard and donated £5k to help. You should be ashamed. @stephenctimms @patmcfaddenmp @andyburnham share.google/MohWO4POduaDjDy…

It’s so obvious that i can’t believe it needs saying. Pensioners don’t have your money, refugees don’t have your money. It’s the rich who taken it, the clue is they have all the money. Unless we unite to redistribute wealth we will always be poor.

Pensioners who get £12,570 per year? TOO MANY OF THEM. Members of HoL who get £371 per day? 800+ of them. TOO MANY? Apparently not.

Approximately 78% of MPs are believed to be millionaires. Call me cynical, but maybe that's the reason why they're not interested in introducing a wealth tax.

In the coming years, either we can argue about which generation is the worst off OR we can unite all those who are struggling to make ends meet in a huge movement to topple the billionaire class and create a society that delivers for the many, not the few. I know which I prefer.

if sick people are having their money taken away and disabled people are having their money taken away and elderly people are having their money taken away then what is the point, this is a failed state, a failed society
