GB News has revealed shocking news about Labour’s decision to cut winter fuel payments for 40,000 terminally ill pensioners. These people, many of whom rely on constant heating to ease pain and power medical equipment, will now struggle to keep warm during the cold months. The cuts have sparked anger across the UK, with many calling the move cruel and unfair.

 

The report shared heartbreaking stories, like an 84-year-old woman who stays in bed until midday to avoid turning on the heating. When she does get up, she wears a thermal jacket all day to save energy. Critics say no one who has worked hard their whole life should be forced to live like this.

GB News experts slammed the government for spending money on other things while leaving vulnerable people to freeze. They pointed out Labour’s spending on projects like carbon capture, foreign aid, and housing for asylum seekers, questioning why pensioners are being neglected. One panellist called it “a disgrace,” saying the government is failing those who built the country.

 

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who promised to protect pensioners before the election, is now facing backlash for breaking that promise. He defended the cuts by saying they are part of a long-term plan to invest in clean energy and lower bills in the future. However, many are angry, saying this does nothing to help people suffering right now.

 

Charities have also raised concerns. Age UK reports that over half of pensioners plan to use less heating this winter, and many will cut back on hot meals. This could lead to serious health problems, hospital visits, and even deaths. Critics say these cuts will end up costing more in the long run due to the extra strain on healthcare services.

The GB News report has sparked outrage across the country. Many are now demanding that Labour reverse these cuts and provide proper support for the elderly and vulnerable before it’s too late.
