Winter fuel cut U-turn won’t repair damage, Labour insiders warn
Small changes to the winter fuel allowance cut will not be enough to win back voters, rebel Labour MPs have warned Keir Starmer, as a Government insider admitted the policy had been like “Kryptonite” on the doorstep.
Downing Street insisted there would be no U-turn on the decision to impose the cut on around 10 million pensioners, despite it being blamed on Labour losing votes at last week’s local elections.
