Liberal Democrats leader Sir Ed Davey has said his party will attempt to block the government's proposed move to end the winter fuel allowance to some pensioners, describing it as the new administration's first big mistake.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed that the government is withdrawing winter fuel payments from millions of pensioner households that are not in receipt of benefits.
Sir Ed urged the government to 'think again,' emphasizing that this change would negatively impact millions of pensioners, and a parliamentary vote is necessary.
He noted that Labour MPs and others are genuinely concerned about this decision after hearing from constituents, indicating significant opposition to the plan.
