Campaigning in Pimlico against Labour's Scrapping of the Winter Fuel Allowance

We've campaigning against the Labour government's decision to scrap the Winter Fuel Allowance. Cllr Paul Swaddle, Leader of the Conservative Group at Westminster Council, explains

 

"I'm out this morning in Pimlico with a number of other activists from the Conservative Party.

 

"We're campaigning about the fact that Labour are cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance, something that they said was not something that should be done when in opposition.

 

"They misled you. And Rachel Blake, the local MP, voted for the cut."

He again pointed to the Mayor's record on transport as the bigger barrier to a good night out, saying Sadiq Khan "keeps cutting the night buses and won't bring in a late-night tube service on Thursdays."
