My 95 year old mother has lost her winter fuel payment, you can argue she doesn't really "need" it as she has enough pension to live on but jeez in one of the richest countries in the world couldn't we strive to make the last years of our most elderly as comfortable as possible?

Next year I am going to have to ask my nearly 90 year old mother in law who has been living in the UK for 70 years and who has worked and raised a family here to register and pay over £60 so she can stay; I don't care what your political persuasion is, this is not right #Brexit

A young MP who donates £45,000 of her £80,000 salary to charity, who worked on the front line of care while others just clapped? If that isn't what #Labour should be about I don't know what is? Sacked for following her conscience and the silence of some is deafening :Nadia
