This makes me puke, it really does. If this were the #Conservatives, the internet would be aflame with derision and calls for the PM to go, yet this backsliding wimp still hangs on. But here's the more important question. If Labour is not going to cut the Winter fuel allowance, and is not going to recoup any money from the enormous benefits bill. Where is the money coming from to pay for all these manifesto promises?

P.S. How many houses have been built? I suspect that's another objective that this smoke-and-mirrors #Labour government hasn't achieved.
