And Western politicians wonder why everyone hates them.
If you had people who behaved like this in your personal life you would be stranger to them as well...
"I fucked you all over but I'm not saying sorry and you should all be grateful to me. I'm brilliant..."

Truly incredible how they manage to fuck up a u-turn everyone wanted, but that's Labour!
"Oh it's only one more Winter, what's the worst that could happen? I've got Oasis tickets, be happy for me you ungrateful proles!"
*gasp* responding to the Public, what ever will happen next?

All Reeves had to do was to say that she would be stopping winterfuel payments NEXT YEAR and then put in systems to reach all those poorest elderly who are not claiming pension credits.
That would have shown #Labour to be both caring and financially competent instead of casually putting lives at risk.
She obviously didn't know that many poorest elderly have not claimed pension credit nor did she understand the reasons why - internet, huge backlog on phone claims, many consider it would be a shameful handout etc
Address those problems and then cancel #winterfuelpayments for those who don't need them.
Rachel Reeves says she's 'listening' to concerns over the 'level' at which winter fuel payments are calculated
