Fairly late on posting this, but still felt that this was important to share. I’m *really* uneasy with the existence of the Triple Lock, but issues such as this highlight that the Labour Party should’ve just gone for reforming that, instead of means-testing the Winter Fuel allowance.

I just struggle to feel bad given how much help pensioners get while everyone else is basically told to pay up and sod off. Everyone under the age of 50 has seen less and less investment across the board, but were deemed as “entitled” for wanting some degree of care. Why should the wealthiest group of people by age keep getting more and more?
