The Labour Party wants to put the Winter fuel allowance and the £800,000 of gifts received by ministers behind us. Is this a real option for the people who will suffer as our new masters unapologeticly feast on freebies?

The Labour Party wants to put the Winter fuel allowance and the £800,000 of gifts received by ministers behind us. Is this a real option for the people who will suffer as our new masters unapologeticly feast on freebies?

That £800,000 is just the tip of the iceberg.

They’re all too fond of ‘the cost of x costs us xxx’. But most of our National Expenditure is actually ‘other’ spending: Why oh why do the public never ask about it?

It astonishes me that warmth for pensioners is unaffordable, but the cost of running Chequers, Dorneywood, Chevenning, Admiralty House and 1 Carlton Gardens isn’t even mentioned.

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

And then we have the government wine cellars (GWC) another £24million.

And then we have the subsidesed bars and restaurants in Westminster Palace, the last workplace in Britain where drinking during your shift is seen to be ‘safe’.

Carlton Gardens is so grand that the King had a long campaign to acquire it for himself (years ago).
