I still say a screenshot is easier to follow - I block Facebook entirely so have absolutely no idea what the message was all about.

If I can find it, fat chance, I will try and post a copy in text.

Even just saying ‘What do people think?’or ‘I saw this’ which would not give a hint to personal opinions would encourage people to participate more

I am more interested in what others think without a cue to follow than what I think, or ftm what those responsible for the link want others to think.
I think it is possible that one has more chances of seeing things from other perspectives.

I get that, t'was what I said N - but it doesn't help if no-one else knows what the F you are trying to have a conversation about does it.
As Pat said, it doesn't hurt to ask what do you think or similar - otherwise you'll be ignored.

I never open a link without a title as I prefer to know what the item is about first.

For the benefit of hindsight,

Doris Jones,
Annual income receives £11,600
Lost her winter fuel payment for 2024

She says she has some difficult decisions to make.
I.e. To eat or to heat.

Rachael Reeves
Annual income £163,891
Retains her Heating Allowance for 2024
Says she has some difficult decisions to make.


According to Reuters

The spokesperson did not dispute Reeves receives a salary of 163,891 pounds but added confirmation would come in the ministry’s annual report.
The posts also claim “Doris Jones”, with an annual income of 11,500 pounds, would miss out on pension credit and therefore the winter fuel allowance. That is because her income is too high to qualify for pension credit, which tops up a person’s income to 218.15 pounds a week, or 11,343 pounds a year, according to UK government guidance

However, there are instances when this income would qualify for pension credit, for example if the person was a carer or had a severe disability, according to the charity Age UK

VERDICT
Missing context. Reeves, as Britain’s finance minister, lives at 11, Downing Street, which means she is unable to claim for energy bills for work-related accommodation, unlike most other MPs.

Even now, I am unsure whether the matter up for debate is Ms Reeves' heating or Reuter's Fact Checking.

Or pensioners loosing their heating allowance
