Keir Starmer has signalled a potential U-turn regarding the winter energy payments.
Back in March, the UK government changed the rules for the Winter Fuel Payment, so that from winter 2024/25, it was only available to households that received the Pension Credit or certain other means-tested benefits.
This made it so that only 1.5 million pensioners received the payment, down from 10.8 million.
