Yet again, this Labour government is taking aim at British pensioners. This time, Rachel Reeves has the state pension in her crosshairs, dragging millions of our poorest OAPs into a tax trap, slapping their pensions with basic rate tax once the state pension rises. Labour swore to protect the triple lock, but this is a knife in the back for our elderly and will hit those that are the least well off the hardest.
It's no wonder they call him Keir Starmer the granny harmer. Pensioners are right to be fearful of this government. After pressure from Reform UK put an end to Reeves’ original plans to scrap the winter fuel payments, she is still trying her best to squeeze every penny from pensioners.
