Just had a thought perhaps the heating in the House of Commons should be turned off so MPs can experience what it is like to be a pensioner who is too frightened to turn their heating on.

There is talk of the retirement age being increased to 75, as only around 8% of the population are over 75 this means that 92% will not live to get a state pension. I do not know who thought this up but they should give their head a wobble.

As the govt has decided that pensioners having more than £218.15 a week can afford to heat their own homes I think MPs who earn at least £91,000 pa can also afford to heat theirs. Continuing to allow them to claim heating allowance would be a disgrace.

Migrants who come to the UK get housed, fed and receive free medical treatment but have contributed nothing to the economy. The cost to the tax payer is almost £4 billion a year. Pensioners who have worked hard paid and their dues get their heating allowance stopped.
