TOM UTLEY: Why I reckon 'every pensioner in the country will be better off with Labour' is Starmer's biggest whopper of all

Daily Mail  

Apart from his stirring demand for the return of the sausages from Gaza, one remarkable passage stood out from Sir Keir ­Starmer's vacuous blustering to the Labour Party conference this week. Sir Keir ­Starmer said stabilising the economy was 'the only way to keep prices low, cut NHS waiting lists and secure the triple lock so that every pensioner in this country will be ­better off with Labour' The rest of us of a certain age appear to be the Prime Minister's No 1 ­target for milking. What's more, Rishi Sunak promised that the state pension would remain tax-free – a pledge I have yet to hear echoed by Sir Keir or the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves. Now it's equally clear that he wasn't thinking of people like me, either, when he suggested that every pensioner in the country would be better off under his party.
