      >The winter fuel allowance was the decision the group were most angry about. None of them were pensioners, yet all of them worried that the decision to restrict the payment would leave elderly people vulnerable this winter

      I wonder if Rachel Reeves might be regretting the way she has announced the cuts to Winter Fuel Payment. She could’ve announced it in the October budget alongside other more eye-catching policies, or expand its eligibility to other benefits as well, or at least conduct an impact assessment first. Now she is attacked by both wings of the political spectrum and most voters, including a substantial portion of Labour voters, hate it too.

      I care more about the 10 billion investment in a data center in the north, potential Universal theme park in Bedford, and being second fastest grower in the G7 more than vibes 

    3. Logical-Brief-420 on

      Im also wholly unimpressed by the facile nature of many UK voters to be honest

      This article makes me despair in the voters of this country 

    5. yourlocallidl on

      can’t believe we’re living in a time where it’s expensive to heat our own homes, absolutely ridiculous

    6. TheLimeyLemmon on

      I’m not sure why anyone’s surprised. The 2024 GE reeked of complete apathy.

    7. Hombarume80 on

      Voters have a short memory ,you have 4 years ,make the hard choices now and keep going!

    8. QuailTechnical5143 on

      Loving seeing all the former GTTO crowd reacting with horror at realising Labour are literally no different.
      Welcome to politics! 😂

    9. 123kingkongun on

      I knew I wasn’t going to vote for them back in October ‘cause I knew I would be disappointed

    10. _JR28_ on

      I’ll take bad vibes from Labour over bad everything under the Conservatives

    11. IdiosyncraticAutism on

      When has anyone been impressed after voting for one the two parties in charge of this country over the last 100 years?

    12. Malediction101 on

      Genuinely, what do these people expect the government to have accomplished by now?

    13. Icefirezz on

      Lol he’s been a hidden conservative all along many people knew it and turned a blind eye.

    14. CorruptedFlame on

      British Public : Yes finally! Leaders who do what they think is right and don’t try to dress it up!

      Also British Public : How DARE they not dress up their reforms to be more palatable!! It’s been 3 months and the world has already ended… 

    16. ScaredyCatUK on

      Perhaps we should just give them a little more than three months… You know, be bit more grown up about what they have to deal with and how quickly they can rebuild the country after the utter shambles we’ve just got rid of.

    17. howsitgoingboy on

      I’m mostly unimpressed by the Labour leadership taking bribes.

      That’s the bigger issue here, these people are fucking wealthy, or at least should be able to afford shit themselves without personal donations.

    18. SaltSatisfaction2124 on

      Should have waited till after winter for the fuel payment reduction, and ensured they caught everyone up on pension credits otherwise

    19. No_Breadfruit_4901 on

      Wow I can’t believe labour didn’t fix anything at all from the 14 years of Tory mess in just 2 and a half months

    20. Jj-woodsy on

      Bad vibes, what were these voters thinking the past 14 years under the Tories?

      So far they have only cut winter fuel allowance, and we won’t know more until next month. The Tories gutted our public services and look at the state of our country right now.

    21. Financial_Pop_4889 on

      It’s been 3 fucking months, half of that in recess, and you’ve already got idiots screaming “why haven’t they fixed everything!”. I really do hate the idiocy of a lot of this country some times. Fourteen years of fucking everything up and they’re expecting everything to be grand before Christmas.

    22. Witty-Bus07 on

      When you are a millionaire and take winter fuel payments away and then accept over £100000, in donations it would leave a negative impression

    23. Dean-Advocate665 on

      Luckily countries aren’t run on vibes or else we’d all be screwed. I don’t have some inherent trust in Labour, but they without a doubt appear to be far more competent than the final few years of the tories. And every “scandal” the media has tried to push so far has been pretty much just hot air. It does make me despair seeing the average voter be swayed so easily on the most minute and inconsequential issues.

    24. Boundish91 on

      You don’t repair over a decade of economic mismanagement in 3 months.

    25. FarmerJohnOSRS on

      Is that because the media is hammering them for things the Tories were doing the entire time, but said nothing about?

    26. Spare_Dig_7959 on

      We have democracy,it is flawed.People get elected,they are flawed.We can change them if we don’t like what they do. Putins paid actors hate any kind of democracy and will attack all sides depending on his instructions all the time.They crave democracy whilst trying to collapse ours.

    27. actuarynewsmod on

      The winter fuel decision shows very poor judgment and the way they’ve tried to talk their way out of it just sounds so dishonest

    28. takesthebiscuit on

      Tory HQ are laughing their heads off and having the time of their lives!!!

      They are sitting flinging their shit over the walls and it’s sticking.

      We need to excise the Tory tumor from our system and that’s going to need some invasive surgery before we can heal and get stronger

    29. iamnotinterested2 on

      *Statistics* are *like bikinis*. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

    30. mrhelmand on

      I see a lot of “well, the Tories were worse” but that’s not the point. People wanted change, they wanted a government that wasn’t full of nakedly corrupt idiots only out for themselves. It’s very clear to them now Starmer isn’t up to standard, so they’ve turned on him.

    31. Scared-Room-9962 on

      I don’t expect them to fix the country in 3 months.

      I do expect them to be different to the Tories though and so far, it’s more of the same greed and Austerity.

    32. acedias-token on

      If you are cutting away infected tissue, you keep cutting away until the infection is gone. If some Tory issues are still present, the issue wasn’t just the tories.. I can’t speak for what needs to replace them though

    33. Serious-Teaching9701 on

      Same old shit again. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

    34. ConsiderationFew8399 on

      Voters unimpressed with political after seeing 3 negative headlines in row and not reading the article

    35. PurahsHero on

      After 15 years of being told how we are all in this together, things are bad, it’s a long road to recovery and the like – all while public services are getting worse – I don’t see how a government saying how bad things are could be anything other than depressing.

      The message has landed – things are rubbish. We know they are rubbish. But what people also need is some kind of hope that things will get better, and do so soon. After the last 15 years, people’s patience has ran out.

      There is being honest with people (necessary) and there is being honest and giving some hope. Labour is currently all big on the honesty but not so much on the hope.

    36. humaninspector on

      Was just reading last night how they, or Sir Kier, wants to ram through extra snooping powers for the DWP so that they can spy on, and check people’s bank accounts.

      Fucking hell.

      Also, in another article long term off sick “people must work” like he is some Victorian who believes that work solves all ills.

      I was expecting them not to be as bad as the Tories. Fucking hell. He’s carrying on.

    37. Visual-Blackberry874 on

      Keir, Keir, made the pensioners fear
      Didn’t even have to get into second gear

      That Starmer, the granny harmer
      Savior of the classes while wearing Prada

      Hes a knight of the realm and a total helm
      And I could probably go harder…

      But if he ever saw this, I’d be in for a miss
      Probably find myself locked up with some chavas.

    38. Odd-Wafer-4250 on

      That’s because there is a concerted effort by the press to do a hatchet job on them and the UK voting public are by the large dimwitted.
