There's a debate to be had over the social contract between older people like myself and younger people — particularly when it comes to housing.

Labour promised not to cut Winter Fuel Allowance but then have gone ahead and done it.

This is a question of public trust.

Labour's claim of a £22 billion so-called ‘black hole’ is absolute and complete rubbish. It's based only on their decision to spend more.

Meanwhile we have the first cut in the state pension for years. It's not the right way to go about things. Let's reward pensioners for hard work and not indulge in a political gesture.
