Since being elected with a landslide majority in July, Sir Keir’s government has stripped winter fuel payments of up to £300 for millions of elderly people, introduced inheritance tax changes dubbed a “family farm tax”, which critics fear will force farmers into selling up, and hiked employer national insurance contributions. And quizzed about Labour’s record in office so far, Mr Streeting said on Sunday: “The reason we have been willing to make unpopular decisions in the last six months is to get Britain out of the massive hole it was left in.” open image in gallery Wes Streeting said he hopes the public will thank Labour for unpopular decisions it has made so far He told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips on Sky News: “They might be unpopular decisions now, but I hope they will be decisions that, in the longer run, people will thank us for when they see the country improving. “But that is what we are focused on in 2025.” open image in gallery Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the winter fuel changes in July – one of several decisions that have led to a historic fall in popularity for her party Government modelling released by work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall suggests cutting pensioners’ winter fuel payments will drive 100,000 more into poverty by 2027.
