Unite plans to introduce a motion at the Labour party conference to reverse winter fuel payment cuts, which may create tension within the party and its leadership.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves defended the cuts, emphasizing the necessity of the measures due to Labour's challenging economic inheritance. The cuts have raised discontent among Labour MPs.
Unite is pushing for a motion that demands an end to Reeves' fiscal rules, advocating for increased borrowing to invest in key public services and infrastructure.
The motion states that communities voted for meaningful change, not just managerial improvements or cuts, urging the government to protect pensioners from austerity measures.
