Labour's Strategy
Labour is shifting its focus to target the "grey wall" of pensioners in a bid to win the upcoming General Election. Party activists are aiming to appeal to elderly voters, whom they see as crucial to their success.
Backlash Over Budget
Following a backlash over the recent budget, pensioners were identified as a key demographic that Labour is now actively pursuing. The Chancellor's budget last week drew criticism for its impact on pensioners.
Labour's Response
Labour's Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones MP, expressed concerns over the budget's effects on pensioners, stating that the Tories' plan to scrap National Insurance could further impact pensioners financially.
Government's Stance
Government sources have refuted claims of plans to increase income tax, asserting their commitment to lowering taxes. The Treasury emphasized their support for pensioners through initiatives like the triple lock on state pensions.
