Evil Labo*r Government Wins Vote To Condemn All Pensioners To Death This Winter©*

*headline used by permission of the Daily Telegraph/Express/Mail

The evil Labo*r government is set to go ahead with cutting winter fuel payments for pensioners across the country after the plan was voted through yesterday afternoon (September 10) in the Commons. A number of Midway MPs took part in the vote, which gives us the excuse to lever a Labo*r-bashing piece of national news into our local news-site.

The payments help millions of elderly people during November and December. Either £200 or £300 is usually given towards their Christmas shopping.

Evil Labo*r Chancellor Rachel R*eves
In July, evil Labo*r Chancellor Rachel R*eves proposed to start means-testing the payment. The eligibility for the benefit would be limited to the  pensioners that actually need the money. As a result, the number of payments would fall from 11.4 million to 1.5 million this winter – saving around £1.5 billion a year.

Ms R*eves insisted it is “absolutely right” to means-test the benefit in order to address the “22 billion black hole” in the public finances. She said: “We faced a situation when I became Chancellor that there was a £22 billion black hole in the public finances this year.

“That meant we had to make difficult decisions, tough decisions, to get a grip of those public finances so that we could bring stability back to the economy after Lettuce Liz and Jeremy Hunt wrecked it by giving Tory voters unfunded tax breaks in an attempt to bribe them to vote Tory.”

“In the circumstances that we are facing it is therefore absolutely right to make sure that we screw over pensioners, because that’s much easier than taxing rich bastards who have the financial clout to fight back.”

Ex-MP Trollhouse: "Vote Tory"
Former Stroochester Tory MP Kylie Trollhouse said: “The reality is that driving through this policy will make millions of poor pensioners vote Conservative in future and we are delighted that Labo*r ministers are asserting that this is the right thing to do.”

A brave, principled and noble Conservative motion to block the measure was voted on yesterday in the Houses of Parliament. It was defeated by 348 to 288 votes – a majority of 120.

However 52 MPs decided not to record a vote, one of whom was from Midway.

Gargoyle's new American residence...
That was Mr. Niglet the Gargoyle, owner of the Really Extreme Far-Out Rightwing Maniacs©™® Party UK PLC and MP for Midway’s Claptout-on-Sea constituency, who had returned to his new USA home straight after the election, with the words “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here…”

Only one Labour backbencher, Rosie Waffle, opposed the government in supporting the Tory motion. Midway’s other seven evil henchmen of evil Labo*r comedy duo, R*eves and Startimer, all voted against saving the lives of millions of pensioners across the UK.

Skippi Myrtle: Labo*r lobby fodder
Stroochester’s Labo*r MP, Skippi Myrtle, defended her own hypocrisy, saying, “Look cobber, Stroochester MPs have a fine tradition of just being lobby-fodder and voting for whatever the party bosses want us to. I’m just following on from Kylie Trollhouse in this respect.”

“I’d thought she’d be proud of me, voting to cut benefits for vulnerable people. It’s just what she would have done after all.”

The Estonian embassy was asked for a comment but has yet to respond.

Dare I say it, but I think Take The Knee St*rmer has made a promising start. Removing subsidies from feckless, work-shy pensioners is a move worthy of the Conservatives at their very best. If he makes good on his veiled promises to privatise the NHS and doesn’t make any attempts to make rich folk such as myself pay our fair share of taxes, then it will be business as usual.

So no surprise, the communist Labo*r party have now targeted the most vulnerable in our society. Those people who voted this shower of leftist loons into power should hang their heads in shame. It's the classic example of take from the hard working and successful and give to the feckless and lazy. Disgusting!

14 years of Tory benefit cuts = good

2 months of Labo*r benefit cuts = bad.

Some commenters have misread this to vote NO means you agree with St*rmer to stop payments to vote YES means you want to keep payments the motion was to keep the payments by the conservative government that was there motion so to keep it you must vote yes to not keep the payments you vote no so saying Myrtle from stroochester she voted no which means she wants to stop the payments why do you not read these things properly yes vote means keep the payments no vote means don't keep the payments all the labo*r MPs voted no in Midway except rosie waffle who at least had some principles and trump suck-up gargoyle who didn't vote cos he was busy sucking up to trump in america so they basically wanted to keep it read these articles properly and try and understand the legalities of votes in parliament stop criticizing conservative MPs who voted yes they voted yes to keep the payments because that's what was being voted on stop the payments or keep the payments it was keep the payments and all of Labour literally voted known to stop it so they could give their trade union chums the train drivers and junior doctors massive pay rises these greedy bastards are already on huge salaries but no we have to rob pensioners to pay them even more so you labo*r voters shame on you all to stop these pains is going to kill and make ill many pensioners in any other legality or legal form that is abuse abuse of elderly people the same as if you told your parents they couldn't have the heating on and you turned it off you would be abusing them st*rmer needs to be prosecuted and so do Labo*r voters
