Means testing a winter fuel payment so it’s not being used to put down deposits on next years cruise isn’t exactly “pitting workers against pensioners” is it? But then the Morningstar is half ill-researched waffle, and half conspiracy theory nonsense.
The headline is accurate, they are quoting the UNITE general secretary, who is making the accusation.
I would expect a current Labour party supporting Lemmitor to call unions "idiots".
so it’s not being used to put down deposits on next years cruise
That's not what this is preventing. You made this up.
This is simple austerity, which is a punishment for poor people. Kier's openly pro-rich, pro-corporation. If you (or he) were so worried about rich people having too much money, you would support the suggestion in the article: a wealth tax. But you don't actually want that. It's okay to want poor people to suffer. Just admit you want austerity, like Kier has. It's a very accepted political position, the biggest parties agree. You don't have to hide it.
