💨 Abstract

Sir Keir Starmer has reversed a plan to eliminate Winter Fuel Payments for 10 million pensioners following public outcry. He acknowledged the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and stated that the government would reconsider the cuts as the economy improves. The final decision will be made during a fiscal event, ensuring it is affordable. The move comes after significant public backlash and aims to ensure that pensioners benefit from economic improvements.
