Nearly 1m UK pensioners living in deprivation, official figures show
Separate report suggests number of people living in poverty aged between 60 and pension age has tripled under Tories
www.theguardian.com
Scrapping winter fuel payment is wrong, but REAL SCANDAL is that UK state pension is one of WORST in Europe!! MINIMUM wage is £22k but pension is ONLY HALF THAT at £11.5k! 1m elderly living in poverty! Judge a country by how it treats it's vulnerable!

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”
Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

Good to see the Tories have learnt from their absolute clusterfuck management of the Covid crisis.
God forbid a tory would ever do anything altruistic or scientific.

I was 29, watching Grandstand as it played out. I worked with Forest fans who were there. The whole #Hillsborough saga is a massive disgrace to the nation.
Hats off to David Conn of the Guardian for being like a dog with a bone on the subject, but in a civilised society he shouldn’t’ve needed to be.
