Labour's Cabinet is committed to scaling back winter fuel payments, facing dissent from MPs as it may harm party support amidst ongoing economic austerity debates.
Matt Wrack of the TUC cautioned that a new austerity wave could empower the far-right, warning Sir Keir that public support hinges on rejecting Tory policies.
Seventeen Labour MPs have signed a motion against cutting winter fuel payments, indicating a potential rebellion that reflects brewing discontent within the party ranks.
The government claims that slashing the winter fuel allowance is crucial to address a 22 billion budget deficit from the previous Conservative administration.
