Labour's declaration of war on our pensioners

November 24, 2025

LABOUR’S contempt for pensioners knows no bounds. After subjecting millions to a humiliating means-test for the annual winter fuel payment — a decision that sparked such fury it was later reversed ~— they are now back for more.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is tipped to extend the income tax threshold freeze in Wednesday’s Budget in a move that would make OAPs significantly worse off.

Analysis shows it would cost pensioners £7billion a year in 2029 and 2030 — an average loss of £800 each.
