The controversial decision made by the new Chancellor of the Exchequer - Rachel Reeves, to limit the Winter Fuel Allowance
to only those on benefits, is too drastic by far.
Much better to limit the recipients to those who rely on just the State Pension.
The others who, like me, have a works pension in addition, are less in need of it.
There are lots of things that need changing to right the UK economy, but it's a pity that the new Labour Government
is hitting on the elderly & poor [so far] when it's the wealthy who have been the beneficiaries over the last 14 years.
Let's hope the October budget sees some moves in the right direction.
