I’m one of those who has, in the past, benefitted from the Winter Fuel Allowance, despite the fact that I am well-enough off to neither need nor want it. I would have preferred it if the WFA had been properly means-tested right from its inception, and I would prefer it even more if this government had decided to properly means-test in now.

The government have made a big mistake, and the uproar it has caused is distracting the attention of the public away from the other, good, and important things they are doing.

I think Starmer will rue the day…
