Millions of pensioners will lose their winter fuel payments this year after Parliament failed to block the cuts.
The Government’s plan to limit the payments to the poorest pensioners passed by 348 votes to 228, a majority of 120.

Mike Graham speaks with Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Laura Trott.
