Labour Cutting Winter Fuel Payments For Pensioners “Will Come Back To Haunt Them”
Tory peer Lord Mackinlay says Labour’s decision to cut winter fuel payments for pensioners “will come back to haunt them”.
Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves will not “water down” the decision to strip winter fuel payments from millions of pensioners despite a revolt by Labour MPs and warnings about the impact it will have on the elderly.
Chancellor Ms Reeves insisted it is “absolutely right” to means-test the benefit, worth up to £300, in order to address the “black hole” in the public finances.
Lord Mackinlay says: “What it’s done to the electors has been seismic… Pensioners who may have given Labour the benefit of the doubt will feel very scared.”
