Just doing some simple maths this morning.
Savings to government by cutting winter fuel allowance to pensioners =
£1.5 billion.
Cost of accommodation for illegal immigrants is £8 million a day (BBC reported figure at end of 2023 so probably more now ).
So OAP’s going cold this winter will pay to for 188 hotel nights.
Cutting bus oases could pay for the damage and more hotel nights, so a double winner.
Doing the maths makes me a right wing extremist now I guess , according to Sir Starmer.
