It is claimed this morning that MPs are considering preventing those on higher incomes from the annual Winter Fuel Payment when temperatures get below a certain level. This is a handout that helps a great deal of people, particularly those on small pensions.
Maybe it is a good idea to prevent millionaires and other rich folk from getting this annual payment. But what I find rich (no pun intended) is that it is our MPs that have come up with this idea.
That’s right! MPs! Remember - that mob that get a minimum of £64,000 a year plus up to £140,000 in allowances! Maybe they should set the limit for the allowance at £63,999!
