Ros Altmann has described the government's controversial plan to limit winter fuel payments as one of the worst decisions ever, urging the government to reconsider.
A cross-party group of peers criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer for rushing changes to winter fuel payments, arguing it lacks proper parliamentary scrutiny.
Many Labour backbenchers expressed urgent concerns about pensioners' welfare, with one MP stating, 'They have to give way on this or old people will die.'
Prime Minister Starmer acknowledged the £22 billion funding gap requiring tough decisions, insisting the limitations on winter fuel payments include safeguards for pensioners.
