Rosie Duffield condemned the government's proposal to scrap winter fuel payments for pensioners, warning that it poses a serious threat to their wellbeing and could lead to fatalities.
Duffield expressed concern that the decision to cut payments would leave many vulnerable pensioners, particularly those with chronic health issues, without the essential support to maintain warmth during winter.
Despite her strong feelings against the measure, Duffield plans to abstain from the vote, highlighting political pressures that make outright opposition challenging for MPs.
She emphasized the responsibility of MPs to prioritize their constituents' needs over party loyalties, advocating for the protection of vulnerable individuals suffering from illnesses.
