Rachel Reeves should U-turn on the winter fuel payment and become known as “the Chancellor who was brave enough to change course”, a senior Conservative whip has said.

Standing opposite Commons Leader Lucy Powell at the despatch box, Joy Morrissey questioned Ms Reeves’ decision to “U-turn on non-doms” but not make alterations to budget decisions affecting pensioners and farmers.
