YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

After months of political pressure, the prime minister has signalled a U-turn on his controversial cuts to winter fuel payments.

Sir Keir Starmer rejected claims that backbench dissent was behind the reversal, insisting that it's because the economy has improved.

Downing Street won't say when the changes will take effect, as our Political Correspondent Rob Powell reports.
