MPs have voted in favour of significant cuts, leaving thousands of pensioners uncertain ❄️
  • Sir Keir Starmer has successfully quashed a backbench revolt over Labour's controversial winter fuel allowance cuts
  • The winter fuel payment will now only go to pensioners on means-tested benefits, impacting around 10 million people
  • Ministers argue the cuts are necessary to address a £22 billion deficit in public finances
  • With rising energy costs, the cuts will particularly affect financially struggling pensioners
  • Labour MP Jon Trickett broke ranks, and several MPs abstained or were unrecorded in the vote
  • MPs voted 348 to 228 in favour of restricting the payments, rejecting a Conservative motion to block the cuts

Sir Keir Starmer has successfully fended off a backbench rebellion over the Labour Party’s controversial plans to reduce the winter fuel allowance.

Winter fuel payments were previously available to everyone above the state pension age, but as of this winter, the benefit will be restricted to those receiving pension credit or other means-tested benefits.

Ministers have insisted that the measure is necessary in order to fill a “£22 billion black hole” in the public finances, which they say was left behind by their Tory predecessors.

Around 10 million pensioners are expected to lose out as a result of the policy, and with the energy price cap set to rise on 1 October, the move will significantly impact those who are vulnerable or struggling financially.

How did MPs vote?

MPs voted 348 to 228 to cut the payment for all but the nation’s poorest pensioners, ultimately rejecting a Conservative effort to block the controversial policy.

Labour backbencher Jon Trickett broke ranks by supporting the Conservative motion, while 52 MPs, including seven ministers, did not have their votes recorded.

An unrecorded vote does not necessarily indicate a deliberate abstention, as some MPs may have been unable to attend due to other commitments.

It is believed that some MPs were also “slipped,” meaning they were granted permission to be absent - but a dozen MPs who had no vote recorded were not officially excused from attending.

Among those listed were 15 Labour MPs who had previously signed a motion urging the Government to delay the cut.

Of the seven former Labour backbenchers who lost the whip for opposing the Government over the two-child benefit cap earlier this year, five – Apsana Begum, Zarah Sultana, John McDonnell, Ian Byrne and Richard Burgon – voted with the opposition.

Rebecca Long-Bailey and Imran Hussain abstained, as noted in the official record. But how did your local MP vote on the matter? Here’s the full list -
