That a former Brighton Labour councillor says in Brighton and Hove City Council's latest propaganda newspaper City News that "the Minimum Income Guarantee is not enough for a dignified life with a bit of a cushion and few luxuries" shows that, after four years in power, Labour still hasn't got it right for pensioners.
That's why the Conservatives would cut taxes on the income pensioners receive from their savings and increase the weekly pension by more than the rise that has come in this month.
-Coun Brian Oxley, Westbourne ward, Hove
