What Happened
Summary335 Labour MPs voted to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment, stripping it from 10 million pensioners. Not a single Labour MP voted against.
The Broken Promise
FLabour's 2017 manifesto explicitly promised to protect the Winter Fuel Payment. They spent years attacking Tory threats to pensioner benefits. Within weeks of power, they axed it for most pensioners.
Real World Impact
ImpactAround 10 million pensioners lost up to £300/year in heating support heading into winter.
