14:48Now PlayingWith the winter fuel payment axe set to go ahead after more than 50 Labour MPs fail to back Starmer’s plan, Andrew Marr speaks to LBC's political correspondent Aggie Chambre and Treasury Minister Darren Jones to hear their views.
‘The Conservatives blew the country’s overdraft and then ran away', Darren Jones tells Andrew Marr.
The Treasury Minister says there is a ‘£22bn gap in the public finances’ to explain the decision to cut winter fuel payments, adding ‘we did not want to make these decisions.’
This comes as a Conservative motion to annul the government's cuts to winter fuel payments was defeated by 348 votes to 228 - with a majority of 120.
Shouts of "shame" could be heard in the House of Commons chamber as the result of the vote was announced.
The controversial move will see 10 million people stripped of their fuel allowance this winter.
