Age UK Chief Executive, @paulfarmerceo, discusses recent comments about the #WinterFuelPayment and how important it is for older people to be able to plan ahead ๐
'What a lot of older people are already asking us is when will they know?'
Paul Farmer from Age UK told #BBCBreakfast after Sir Keir Starmer announced plans to ease cuts to winter fuel payments, in a U-turn following mounting political pressure in recent weeks
"We will judge the success of any new policy proposals the Government brings forward by the extent to which they help vulnerable older people to be able to heat their homes."
