Unite union members were in Liverpool
Manchester pensioners were among those who staged a protest outside Labour’s annual conference on Monday. A number of people took part in the demonstration to criticise the government’s controversial plans to cut winter fuel allowance.
Unite member and branch secretary for Manchester Retired Members, Bill Moores, said: “I’m worried about the pensioners who desperately need the Winter Fuel Allowance but will only just be missing out. They will have to make the decision between heating their home or eating.” Unite member Stephen Rennie, also from Manchester, said: “The Winter Fuel Allowance needs to be reinstated because the poorest among us are literally going to die this winter.
