Will changing the winter fuel policy make Labour ‘look weak’? | LBC
Downing Street is considering a review of winter fuel payments, after the local elections saw Reform UK make major gains across England.
Sources at Downing Street are allegedly exploring the option of increasing the £11,500 income cap which is currently set for the payment.
One minister told The Guardian: “It comes up on the doorstep all the time. Winter fuel will lose us the next election, it was a terrible mistake. But it’s probably too late for a U-turn now.”
James O’Brien feels that ‘increasing public spending is probably the only chance they’ve got of winning the next election’.
