Watch ITV News at Ten - as PM announces major winter fuel cut U-turn | 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 PM’s response is a marked change in tone from Downing Street’s previous stance, with Starmer only two weeks ago doubling down on the unpopular decision despite admitting it hurt his party in the May local elections.
