Controversial decision
Sir Keir Starmer is under fire from pensioners after announcing cuts to the Winter Fuel Payment, sparking outrage among some OAPs who rely on the allowance worth up to £300.
Prime Minister's defense
The Prime Minister defended the decision, stating that pensioners will be "better off" under Labour's government, emphasizing the importance of stabilizing the economy to protect pensions.
Public outcry
The decision to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment has led to around 10 million pensioners being deprived of the cash, with approximately 750,000 people expected to miss out on the benefit they are entitled to.
Martin Lewis' plea
Consumer expert Martin Lewis has urged Chancellor Rachel Reeves to reconsider the changes to the Winter Fuel Payment rules, highlighting concerns about the impact on the most vulnerable pensioners.
