Sir Keir Starmer has said it “makes sense to make the change” to winter fuel payments, but there were decisions made in the Budget which he would have preferred “not to have had to make”.

The Prime Minister spoke to a number of BBC local radio stations on Friday as part of a broadcast round, and was asked by several presenters about the changes to the benefit.
