Labour Welsh First Minister urges PM to rethink winter fuel cut following local elections | ITV News
Wales’ First Minister Baroness Eluned Morgan on Tuesday became the latest senior Labour figure to call for a government U-turn, saying “it’s something that comes up time and again”.
The government has doubled down on its unpopular decision to cut winter fuel payments, despite admitting it hurt the Labour Party in the local elections.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has come under growing pressure to re-think the controversial policy, as ministers acknowledged the public’s anger over the decision to means-test the previously universal benefit contributed to Labour’s hammering at the ballot box.
