Row threatens to blight party conference

China Daily  

By JULIAN SHEA in London | China Daily Global | Updated: 2024-09-23 10:12 Pins with images of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are displayed at the Britain's Labour Party's annual conference, in Liverpool, Britain, Sept 22, 2024. United Kingdom Labour Party leader Keir Starmer's first annual party conference since becoming prime minister began on Sunday with an internal split overshadowing what should have been a celebratory event. Caroline Abrahams, director of charity Age UK, said of the policy "we just don't think it's fair to remove the payment from the 2.5 million pensioners on low incomes who badly need it, and to do it so quickly this winter, at the same time as energy bills are rising by 10 percent". "Donations… and monetary donations have been a feature of our politics for a very long time," Labour's Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner told the BBC.
