Read our privacy policy Watch as Rachel Reeves and treasury ministers answer questions in parliament a week after Sir Keir Starmer said the upcoming October Budget “would be painful”. The chancellor will be speaking amid facing backlash from her own party and fresh Tory attacks over the decision to strip the winter fuel payment from millions of pensioners. Only those receiving pension credit or other means-tested benefits will be eligible for the payment in England and Wales as a result of the government’s decision, which ministers have said is needed to help fill a £22 billion black hole in the public finances. “I don’t want to cut the winter fuel allowance … but we’ve got to fix the foundations of our economy and that’s what this is all about – making sure that we fix the foundations and then, having done that, that we can build a better future that pensioners and so many other people voted for in this election,” he said.

DAN HODGES: 'Pensioners will die freezing and alone', a minister confided to me about the winter fuel axe. And more Labour MPs tell me they fear worse is to come

Daily Mail  

It will begin with an unanswered knock on the door. But among the Cabinet, Labour MPs and party activists, there is a growing belief the decision to unexpectedly axe pensioners’ £300 winter fuel allowance has become a ticking timebomb under Sir Keir Starmer’s fledgling premiership. I have yet to find a single person within Labour’s ranks who genuinely believes in …
