UK prime minister defends winter fuel payment cuts despite calls for U-turn

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended the decision to axe winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners as calls for a reversal of the policy continue. 
 
A group of around 45 labour MPs representing seats in northern England and the midlands have joined those urging the government to rethink the move. 
 
During Prime Minister's Questions, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch pressed Sir Keir to "listen to his own party and change course".
