Chancellor Rachel Reeves has defended her taxpayer-funded expenses, stating that as MPs, they are required to maintain homes in London and their constituencies.
I am determined to ensure that the poorest pensioners are protected and will still get winter fuel payments, and indeed, to ensure that pension incomes continue to increase with the triple lock.
The controversy highlights the ongoing debate over MPs' expenses and the perception of fairness, especially as pensioners prepare to lose a key financial support.
Reeves' expense claims come amid backlash from over 50 Labour MPs who defied the party leader by refusing to vote to scrap winter fuel payments.
