I WOULD be interested to know from our MPs following the recent emergency budget why if it is OK to take child tax credit off those earning over £40,000 (which I agree with I might add) why the same principle does not apply to the winter fuel payment we get.

Seems a bit odd to me.

I hope also that Rod Bluh and his colleagues will propose a 10 per cent reduction in the generous allowances paid to councillors.
