Chancellor Rachel Reeves' plan to scrap winter fuel allowance for all pensioners except the poorest is raising fears that it will increase hospitalizations among older individuals.
The decision has incited significant public outrage, with nearly 500,000 people signing a petition from Age UK demanding the government rethink its cuts to winter fuel payments.
Labour frontbenchers are deeply concerned about the impending policy cuts, with many MPs reporting a high volume of distressing emails from constituents troubled by the changes.
One Labour MP highlighted the shock among new MPs, stating, 'I don't think there is a Labour MP who isn't worried... I've had more people stopping me in the street than over Brexit.'
