British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces internal dissent within the Labour Party as lawmakers prepare to vote on cutting winter fuel allowances for pensioners to balance the budget.
Starmer argues that removing the winter fuel allowance for all but the poorest retirees is necessary due to the financial situation left by the Conservative government.
Seventeen Labour lawmakers have initiated a push to postpone the cut, showing signs of internal discord as the party grapples with its economic strategy.
Treasury chief Rachel Reeves emphasized the importance of unity during a rallying call, urging Labour lawmakers to collectively support the decision despite its unpopularity.
