Haven't you missed the point. Older people feel the cold more. Often housebound & immobile. #ToriesOut #winterfuelallowance
Tories say they'll take winter fuel payments away except from Scottish pensioners, cos "colder in Scotland." Hmm.... #canttrustawordtheysaypic.twitter.com/VvGxkTY44i

Haven't you missed the point? The required safe temperature is 18 degrees...is 18 degrees colder in Scotland than it is is England?

This is disingenuous. Try looking up the met office stats for a country that is obviously larger than you realise.

Well if they didn't offer this the SNP would be using it as propaganda
-
They aren't offering it. They're saying the SNP gov will mitigate it through the Scottish Parliament. So cuts elsewhere in Scot budget.
-
The absolute brass neck of the tories to campaign saying it won't happen in Scotland, because of the decisions of the Scottish government.
