Dozens of Labour MPs abstained in a vote against scrapping winter fuel payments yesterday .
But so much queasiness so early on in the journey does not bode well for a government promising many more hard yards before good times come into view.
Labour MPs have been told not to expect any retreat from austere decisions, but a prolonged backlash could still necessitate palliation for neediest pensioners.
The winter fuel cut has also drawn criticism from Labour MPs who want to be loyal to Reeves and Starmer .
Their complaint is that it undermines a story the government wants to tell about placing the greatest burden on those “with the broadest shoulders” It is true that plenty of wealthy pensioners, millionaires among them, don’t need their annual energy subsidy but there are still poorer ones who do.
