A great letter from Labour colleague, Greg Sheldon, in today's "Express and Echo" - I can only concur with his views, although I would prefer to use the term "Conservative-led government propped up by Liberal Democrat passengers" for the ConDemNation.
Helping pensioners should be a priority
I NOTICE that George Osborne left out one paragraph of his Budget speech.
The one where he removed £50 from the winter fuel allowance for pensioner households, and £100 for those over 80 years old.
Presumably he is unaware that fuel costs are continuing to rise, not fall.
If this is the Conservative-Liberal Democrat government ensuring we all share the pain it seems a very strange thing to do, while at the same time promising that they plan to remove the 50 per cent tax rate for the rich as soon as possible.
Helping pensioners would seem a greater priority to most people, I am sure.
