Starmer paves way for U-turn on winter fuel payment cuts | ITV News
Sir Keir Starmer has hinted the government will U-turn on pensioners’ winter fuel payment changes.
Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions (PMQs) on Wednesday, he told the House of Commons his government wants “to ensure more pensioners are eligible” for the payments.
The decision comes after months of criticism over the decision to means-test the benefit, but ministers have said they won’t budge on other welfare cuts.
