Millions facing cruel winter' without fuel payments, Labour MPs warn
Briefly

"There is real concern about the levels of poverty in communities like York. People can't afford to get through the week, and without additional protection like the household support fund, I don't know how some people are going to get through the winter." Rachael Maskell, Labour MP for York Central, highlights the desperate situation many face as winter approaches without adequate support.

Clive Betts, MP for Sheffield South East, emphasizes the urgency of addressing poverty, particularly during the winter months.
