Keir Starmer faces pressure to clarify the effects of cutting winter fuel allowances for pensioners, with critics warning it may push vulnerable individuals into poverty.
Rishi Sunak pressed for an impact assessment on winter fuel payment cuts, highlighting concerns from charities about potential increases in poverty and vulnerability among pensioners.
Despite Labour's criticisms, the government argues that increases in the state pension will mitigate the impact of eliminating winter fuel support for many seniors.
Sunak emphasized the need for economic stability, justifying the cuts by stating that maintaining the triple lock on pensions ensures more money remains with pensioners.
