Oops, wrong thread.
They need to change the parameters, they need to raise the bar so fewer OAP's are caught in the net.
If they do that straight away maybe people will believe they are different, that they will listen.
If they turn a deaf ear to the complaints they will cast their own die and people will turn against them.
Have they even considered what happens if we have a really cold winter and a lot of people die? [Post edited 9 Sep 20:39]

Looks like only one Labour M.P was concerned enough to vote in support for O.A.P's in his constituency by voting to block Labour policy i.e.Jon Trickett.

Yes, almost all the SW Wales Labour MPs voted against the opposition motion ensuring a healthy 120 vote majority for going ahead with means testing. The Gower MP didn't vote, probably because of an authorised absence. | | | |

Can we imagine for a second a parallel universe where the conservatives had won the recent election and within the first few weeks start raiding the pockets of pensioners. What would the reaction have been? What would these Labour politicians who are in this reality leaping over each other to justify this have to say? |  |

Probably Labour would be saying that Sir Keir was right when he predicted the Tories would do this and urged people to vote Labour to prevent it happening. | | | |

That universe isn’t too far away.
Many of the Tories who voted for the bill were elected in 2017 on a manifesto that promised to cut the WFA. [Post edited 10 Sep 20:39]

The two sides of the ****?
Conservative Party 2017 Manifesto
"So we will look at Winter Fuel Payments, the largest benefit paid to pensioners, in this
context. The benefit is paid regardless of need, giving money to wealthier pensioners
when working people on lower incomes do not get similar support. So we will means test Winter Fuel Payments, focusing assistance on the least well-off pensioners, who are most at risk of fuel poverty."
Labour's Darren Jones in 2023
