  • Pensioners in both Britain and the US are facing an increasingly hostile environment as a result of government actions taken against them. In Britain, Keir Starmer's governing Labour party have faced continued criticism for its decision to restrict winter fuel payments.

The article discusses the challenges faced by pensioners in the UK and the US due to reduced government support during the winter. In the UK, the government has decided to maintain the energy price cap but has not increased the winter fuel allowance, leaving many elderly people struggling to afford heating. Similarly, in the US, there have been cuts to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which helps low-income households with their energy bills. These reductions come at a time when energy prices are soaring, exacerbating the financial strain on pensioners. The article highlights the political decisions behind these cuts, with leaders in both countries facing criticism for prioritizing other expenditures over the welfare of the elderly. This situation has led to increased reliance on charities and community support, with many pensioners facing the harsh choice between heating their homes and buying food.
