Rachel the 'Freeze' Reeves sponges off the state
While she punishes the poor
Published in the August 2nd edition of The Herald, without the first two paragraphs and in The National, August 3rd.
After Rachel ‘Freeze’ Reeves scrapped the Winter Fuel Allowance for 1.5 million pensioners who are too poor to retire, it emerged that last year she claimed £1200 for energy bills for her London MP home.
In 2015, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) suspended her parliamentary credit card - yes, MPs get one - because she failed to demonstrate that more than £4k she racked up was valid expenditure.
She promised to protect the Winter Fuel Allowance, a promise she broke earlier this week. Not even the dire Tories dared to go this far.
It’s doubtful Reeves can empathise with poor pensioners who will now be cold this winter and even die as a result of her cruel cuts. On top of her £91,346 MP salary, she receives a £71,218 ministerial salary and lives rent-free at 11 Downing Street.
The English Labour government’s first steps have shown their utter contempt for the working poor. As usual, Scots will suffer the most. Our nation is colder. We pay some of the highest electricity standing charges in the whole of the UK when we should be paying the lowest electricity prices in Europe given our energy wealth. This winter we face higher prices as the price cap is raised in October. And our energy resources are being stolen with the GB Energy con, a shell company that won’t generate any energy, won’t lower prices and won’t stiffen a flaccid Ofgem to rein in price-gouging monopoly private suppliers.
With her Oxford PPE, LSE Msc in Economics and six years at the Bank of England, Reeves doesn’t understand government finance nor has she learned that austerity never leads to growth, but to immiseration. Keynes was right: “Anything we can actually do, we can afford.” Reeves cynically inverted this, claiming, “We can only do what we can afford.”
One thing is clear - Scotland can’t afford to remain in this failing union.
Reeves FREEZE-WOMAN/Witch is one cold, vile excuse for a woman.
She's utterly ruthless, driven by ambition.
That she's getting away with the public, paying for her electricity etc, should be challenged.
About time, Scotland BROKE THE STRANGLING ENGLISH SHACKLES
and freed ourselves from these charlatans.
Upon Restoration of Independence, WE Sovereign Scots will be able to oust any such scheming, lying politicians, who are NOT acting in the interests of Scotland and WE Sovereign Scots.
Despite that the SNP/Alba/any other, might want a Westminster MKII,
there's no way should we Scots allow that to happen.
'britain'/Westminster/Downing Street/English Monarchy/unionism/etc
must be left in our past.
We've a better future ahead of us, without the
FOREIGN English Colonialist Jackboot
on Scottish necks!
Yep as the saying goes at least you know what you are getting with the Tories, not so LabCons/Liebour. Reeves is a nasty peice of work you'd think people might have seen right through her massive LIES. Just looked at a quick search about her online, the lies coming out of her gob for years and even just before the election, are horrendous, and her nastiness is there for all to see re disabled people reliant on 'benefits'. Very right wing and dangerous.
I was thinking about the EngGBUK Labour liars and tricksters playing games with Scotland and the ScotGov, by passing the £100m bill for EngLabs' removal of the Winter Fuel Payment. Basically they are passing on a policy that no longer exists, and they are taking the absolute p**s. I wonder which other GBUK English Gov reserved policies they will do that with next to land Scotland with a massive bill which will be impossible to mitigate for.
