The Tories are a threat to pensioners in Northumberland
The Tories are a threat to pensioners:
Pensioners would have been left at least £330 worse off had the Tories’ new ‘Double Lock’ been in place in recent years.
Ten million people – five out of six pensioners – are set to lose their Winter Fuel Payments, worth up to £300.
34 million people face the prospect of working longer if Theresa May raises the State Pension age.
Scott said: "Pensioners have worked all their lives and at this time in their life they shouldn't be worrying about being targeted by the government."
"Labour will stand up for pensioners and make sure they get a fair deal."
