Starmer cites stabalised economy in winter fuel U-turn

Sir Keir Starmer says a stabilised economy has allowed the government to reinstate most winter fuel payments.

Nine million pensioners in England and Wales will now receive support this winter after a ÂŁ1.25bn U-turn.

The Prime Minister denied the move was a response to backlash, insisting it followed a reassessment of the country’s financial position.
