Winter Fuel Payment To Go ?
Labour have announced that they will axe the Winter Fuel payment for wealthy people. Its not really a party political issue as the Tories have muttered about doing something similar. This will save about £100m a year, which is a lot of Libraries. What do we think here on AB ?
Personally I am not sure why they should get it in the first place, just like Child Benefit. Handouts like this should go to those that really need it.

I'm glad you mentioned Trident jno! By a strange coincidence, there is a small piece in the Guardian today regarding nuclear weapons ::

If we cancelled the program to replace Trident, we could have all the Libraries we wanted, as well as restoring life to Remploy, and improving our State schools so that nobody would feel the need to lie about their address, in order to get their kids into one of those spanking new Academies that our present Government seems to be so proud of.

£50,000 rich?..................
Yeah! why not....Labour are unlikely to be in as a working majority at the next election so it doesn't bother me.
I have paid 19/6 in the pound income tax.
Gordon Brown has skimmed the top off my Pension Plans.
Take way the Winter fuel Allowance.
How about the shirt off my back?

The feature I heard talks about stopping winter fuel payments to those in the higher tax brackets. Sounds fair to me, then they could concentrate on giving it to people earning less than £37K p.a.
IMO child benefit should be subject to a similar ceiling - I could never understand how Princess Diana was eligible to claim child benefit.

Well Child Benefit now does have an element of means testing, but and it is a huge but - it is a botched job.
