Описание к видео “Labour Bringing Back Pensioners Freezing To Death” | 50,000 More Pensioners Pushed Into Poverty

Cuts to the winter fuel payment will push an estimated 50,000 more pensioners into relative poverty next year, government figures reveal.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves restricted the £300 payment to pensioners receiving pension credit, aiming to target the poorest.

In response, the Government launched a campaign urging pensioners to claim pension credit, though estimates do not account for increased uptake.

By 2030, projections suggest up to 100,000 additional pensioners may fall into relative poverty after housing costs annually.

Mike Graham speaks with Historian and commentator, Rafe Heydel-Mankoo.
