In confinement and having the heater turned off. Ha ha ha ha! #TheOneShow. It’s hilarious to see the presenters on #TheOneShow joke about going to school.
With Kier Starmer, giving them a punishment, and shutting off the heat. I’m not sure which was funnier.”David Walliams, #theoneshow, hilarious as ever.”
“The producer of #TheOneShow is in a panic, trying to figure out how to counterbalance Walliams’s joke about Keir Starmer heating up before the show ends.”
David’s remark alluded to the government’s reduction of the winter heating budget the previous year. The qualifying conditions changed, and many pensioners lost their stipend.
The benefit, which was introduced by the Blair administration in 1997, was first means-tested in the winter of 2024, depriving an estimated 10 million retirees of extra assistance with their heating costs.
