So why is Labour not going to pay pensioners their Winter Fuel Allowance? He was on TV some time ago saying he had been to Dewsbury and had it hammered home to him how pensioners had to stay in bed until midday because they could not afford to heat their houses! And how come UK pensioners like me who live in another country are deprived of any annual pension rises? That means my UK pension has been left miles behind and now amounts to just £323 a month! How far do you think that goes? That is a disgraceful £500 less than UK-based pensioners, after fifty years of paying into the system.
