Labour have cut Winter Fuel Payments meaning 98,679 pensioners could lose their winter fuel allowance in Wiltshire.

Politics isn't just about policies and debates; it's about the choices that directly shape our lives. One recent decision by Prime Minister Keir Starmer has sparked significant concern among many, particularly the elderly. Starmer has chosen to remove Winter Fuel support, a crucial allowance that thousands of pensioners rely on to stay warm during the coldest months.

In Wiltshire alone, this decision will impact 98,679 pensioners, leaving them vulnerable to the harsh realities of winter without the financial assistance they once depended on. The loss of this allowance raises serious questions about the wellbeing of our elderly community and the priorities that guide political decision-making. As the cold season approaches, these pensioners face an uncertain future, highlighting the profound impact of political choices on everyday lives.
