Oliver Hides takes your calls on winter fuel, bad behaviour in schools and TV Show Cheers

Do you think we should give winter fuel back to pensioners? Who’s to blame for children’s bad behaviour? And celebrating Cheers' theme tune and star George Wendt.

Oliver Hides with Thursday's Phone In.

Sir Keir Starmer says he wants more pensioners to be eligible for winter fuel payments in a policy U-turn. Last summer’s announcement of the cancellation of the winter fuel payment for millions of pensioners caused wide-spread concern and brought a backlash on this government.
So do you think we should give winter fuel back to pensioners?

Who’s to blame for children’s bad behaviour? Education leaders are meeting for a national behaviour summit today as a recent review by the education inspectorate Estyn found secondary schools had reported a general decline in behaviour.

and as Cheers stars pay tribute to 'Norm' actor George Wendt; to celebrate the actor and theme tune, Oliver wants to know where do you go where everybody knows your name?

Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12.
