A TOP Taxpayers Alliance lobbyist sparked fury yesterday after telling the Tories to cut benefits for pensioners — as many will die before the next election.
Alex Wild, the research director for the right-wing pressure group, said cuts affecting over-65s would not lose the Tories votes because some “will not be around” by 2020.
Pensioners branded his comment “cynical and offensive,” but the Tories refused to distance themselves from the cuts being demanded by the group.
