MONEY-grabbing Rishi Sunak is set to kick retired miners and their families in the teeth by holding on to billions of pounds that is rightfully theirs.
The Chancellor is tomorrow expected to block the return of £1.2billion from the Miners’ Pension Fund reserve, as demanded by MPs.
And the Treasury will continue with plans to take another £1.6billion on top of the £4.4billion it has already pocketed from the fund’s surplus.
That means 124,000 miners will not get the £14 weekly rise they hoped for. Their average pension is £84 a week.
