So many constituents have written to me in despair about the plans to cut the Winter Fuel Allowance. Below are a few examples. It is for these people and for all the 1.6 million pensioners below the poverty line who this will affect that I can't support this cut today.

Today we put an end to the longest strike in the history of our railways, which cost our economy and the taxpayer more than ยฃ1bn. This clears the way for vital reforms which will modernise our railways. This Labour Government will always put passengers and taxpayers first.
