Believe in Scotland welcomes Scot Gov mitigation of Labour's heartless Winter fuel Payment cut. (www.believeinscotland.org)

The UK Government's cut to the Winter Fuel Payment (WFP) is the single largest attack on pensioner wellbeing in living memory.

Believe in Scotland campaigned against this cut with a billboard, video and social media campaign pointing out that Labour's own research claimed that as many as 4,000 pensioners could die if the WFP was cut.

The fact that the WFP was devolved before it was cut and that Labour in Scotland voted for the cut but then claimed they would mitigate it if they were in government is clearly a naked political ploy. Playing political games with the lives and general wellbeing of Scotland’s pensioners is unworthy of any elected politician or political party.
