Sir Keir Starmer appears to be heading for a number of major U-turns amid growing concern from MPs about the direction of government and following a devastating performance at the local elections.
The prime minister last month announced plans to reverse his controversial cuts to winter fuel payments, saying he wants more pensioners to be eligible for the benefit.
While nothing has been announced yet, the prime minister is privately said to be in favour of lifting the cap but has refused to commit to anything until the child poverty strategy is published in the autumn.
