We're not going to apologise for the actions we took to stabilise the economy. That's what happened last year. The chancellor came into office, saw a massive black hole in the nation's finances.

We have listened to the concerns that people had about the level of the means test, and so we will be making changes to that; they will be in place so that pensioners are paid this coming winter.

Sir Keir Starmer announced the government's U-turn on the cuts to winter fuel payments, ensuring more pensioners will be eligible for financial support.
