Labour is warning the Conservatives could "come for" benefits including free bus passes and TV licences after "breaking promises" on social care and announcing plans to means-test winter fuel payments.
Debbie Abrahams, the shadow work
and pensions secretary, said the Conservatives had "plunged pensioners
into insecurity".
She said they had "attempted to back away
from their plans but only raised more questions about what they were going to
do instead".
"Given the gaping
hole in the Tory plans, and the dumping of their existing promises,
the risk is now that the Tories could
have other nasty surprises for pensioners up their sleeves.
"There’s a real possibility that other hard-earned
benefits like bus passes and free TV licenses could be next.”
Quote Message: The promises in the Tory manifesto are clearly no longer worth the paper they’re written on. So we are today calling for Theresa May to come clean, set out what exactly she’s planning and rule out definitively further attacks on pensioners’ living standards."
