💨 Abstract

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer hinted at reversing a policy that cut winter fuel subsidies for most retirees, a move that has been unpopular. Starmer, citing economic improvements, suggested more retirees could become eligible for the payments. The policy, introduced by Treasury chief Rachel Reeves last year, had contributed to a decline in the government's popularity. Starmer's announcement comes amid speculation about changes to the policy and criticism from the opposition Conservative Party.
