  1. It's probably first frost here tonight. As a newbie pensioner I started passing on my UK #WinterFuel payment to charity, like many others did. These days, people close to poverty are still cold, and the charities are still trying.
    Around here that's #CumbriaCommunityFoundation.
    Their delivery partners, like AgeUK, also offer to check that people are getting their full govt benefits.

    You're absolutely right; it's completely ridiculous.

    I don't understand what they hope to achieve.

    You mention history, but think how many times they've had to backtrack in the last year, the backlash from #WinterFuel and #WelfareReform... It's as though they've got a death wish... Or do they really think they can push through a Trump-style state if they're just sufficiently determined?

    That said, a country that voted for #Brexit, put the likes of Johnson in power...🤷🏻‍♀️

  11. 🧵1/2: It's legally incomprehensible a Court of Appeal* should have upheld the government's decision to outlaw #PalestineAction as a #terrorist org: it's unenforceable. I don't believe the chilling effect will work & the arrest of 25 citizens holding signs today proves it. There are too many people alienated by #Labour's hostile #austerity policies who have a lot of time on their hands & nothing left to lose, incl. 1000s of #pensioners screwed over by the #winterfuel payment cuts

    *ERRATUM 3/3 👇🏽

  16. "The Spending Review is not a Budget in which taxes are changed or a host of new policies announced. But, don't be fooled, it will have an impact on you and your money," writes Kevin Peachey for @BBCNews.

    Here are the seven ways the spending review will affect you:

  20. Poverty in old age is a deeper problem than just arguing about #WinterFuel payments.
    This short report from a charity is worth a read.
    "In 2022/23 almost a quarter (23.6%) of people over State Pension Age were living with incomes below the [Minimum Income Standard, assessed by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation]."

  26. Decisive blow to Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves' austerity politics that harm the poor/vulnerable & leave the wealthy untouched. Labour has to be a party that focusses on improving lives for all, esp. the vulnerable, not pleasing the privileged few.
