00:00We haven't taken £300 from vulnerable pensioners.
00:04What we're doing is taking the tough decisions to stabilise the economy
00:08because it's working class people who pay the price.
00:11If you don't, as the very many families who are paying
00:14hundreds of pounds more in rent or mortgages
00:17because of the economic chaos that we had in recent years
00:20under the Conservative government will tell you.
00:22And we are protecting the vulnerable through that process
00:25as you would expect a Labour government to do.
00:28We've extended the Household Support Fund.
00:30We've got a huge drive to get the poorest pensioners onto pension credit.
00:34No pensioner will be worse off this winter than they were last winter.
00:38That's the difference that a Labour government makes.
00:41We're making hard choices but they're fairer choices.
