The Labour Party wants to put the Winter fuel allowance and the £800,000 of gifts received by ministers behind us. Is this a real option for the people who will suffer as our new masters unapologeticly feast on freebies?

It astonishes me that warmth for pensioners is unaffordable, but the cost of running Chequers, Dorneywood, Chevenning, Admiralty House and 1 Carlton Gardens isn’t even mentioned.

And then we have the subsidesed bars and restaurants in Westminster Palace, the last workplace in Britain where drinking during your shift is seen to be ‘safe’.

That £800,000 is just the tip of the iceberg.

Would you join a gym or workout at home and why?

Carlton Gardens is so grand that the King had a long campaign to acquire it for himself (years ago).

They’re all too fond of ‘the cost of x costs us xxx’. But most of our National Expenditure is actually ‘other’ spending: Why oh why do the public never ask about it?

And then we have the government wine cellars (GWC) another £24million.

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.
