Sir Keir Starmer faced calls to reverse the controversial cut in winter fuel payments at Prime Minister’s Questions, as pressure on the government mounts to change course after the local elections.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch urged the prime minister to "admit he was wrong to remove the winter fuel payment from millions of pensioners".
More Labour figures have broken rank, in the wake of last week’s elections, over changes to Winter Fuel Allowance and Personal Independence Payments.
But the Prime Minister today hit back at his critics, insisting "no other party" is prepared to tackle the economic challenge, as ITV News Deputy Political Editor, Anushka Asthana explains.
