💨 Abstract
Chancellor Rachel Reeves faced backlash after initially cutting winter fuel payments for nine million pensioners, only to reverse the decision amid public outcry. This U-turn, costing £1.25 billion, saved the Treasury only £450 million. Critics, including the Tories, labeled it a "humiliation" and questioned how it would be funded. Meanwhile, potential changes to the two-child benefit cap and departmental budget allocations are under review.
