Why has UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer U-turned over the winter fuel payment cut? | BBC Newscast


Today, we look at a U-turn from the government, after the Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans to ease cuts to winter fuel payments.

More than 10 million pensioners lost out on the payments, worth up to £300, when the pension top-up became means-tested last year. Adam and Chris Mason discuss with Starmer’s former political director Luke Sullivan.

Also, England will be the first country in the world to start vaccinating people against the STI gonorrhoea. Health and science correspondent James Gallagher explains what’s going on.
