Labour's plan to strip Britain’s pensioners of their winter fuel allowance will kill nearly 4000 people this winter according to their own figures. Kier Starmer is set to push through the plan and in full knowledge that he will be putting to death thousands of elderly people who will die of the cold this winter.
The winter fuel allowance, a lifeline for over 10 million pensioners, has been critical in helping the elderly keep their homes warm during the brutal British winter, But Starmer, who views pensioners through the socialist lens of 'useless eaters' is ready to strip them of the allowance, consigning many of them to die of the cold.
4000 OAPs consigned to death
Incredibly this figure comes from :Labour's own study, They admit that as many as 4,000 pensioners could die as a direct result of stopping the winter fuel allowance. That’s 4,000 grandfathers and grandmothers who have probably contributed to the country their entire lives, now left to freeze to death in their homes.
Labour's own figures
Labour's own report was published in 2017 – when Sir Keir Starmer sat in the Shadow Cabinet. It warned that Conservative plans to axe the allowance for ten million elderly voters would increase excess deaths by 3,850 that winter. Later in the document it suggests that the figure could be even higher. The research said: 'Since the introduction of the winter fuel payment by Labour in 1997, allowing for significant variation in winter weather, deaths among the elderly have fallen from around 34,000 to 24,000. Half of the almost 10,000 decrease in so-called 'excess winter deaths' – the rise in mortality that occurs each winter – between 2000 and 2012 was due to the introduction of the winter fuel allowance.'
At the time Labour called the proposal to stop paying pensioners a heating allowance the "single biggest attack on pensioners in a generation in our country".
Why Labour hates pensioners
This is just the latest in a series of policies that attack pensioners, seen by Labour as just a drain on society. Too many pensioners with too much money is very much the view of the modern Labour party. This view is actually right at the core of Marxist ideology and is again manifesting itself in new Labour.
Money went to foreign countries to help fight 'climate change'
Even more disturbing than the knowledge Keir Starmer choose to consign thousands of British pensioners to death in the most callous way is the fact that he has given that money to foreign countries to help with 'Climate Change'. The same week that Starmer announced Labour would be stopping the winter fuel payments for 10 million Pensioners Ed Milliband reiterated Labour will be giving £11.6bn to help fight Climate Change in other countries.
Ironically, if climate change was really a thing then pensioners wouldn't be dying of the cold in their tens of thousands every winter.
