The chancellor said the government had listened to the public's concerns over its winter fuel cuts and taken action
A Commons debate on the government's confirmed changes to the winter fuel payment has now concluded - and our live coverage will soon follow suit. Here's everything you need to know from today:
- The government announced that more than 75% of pensioners in England and Wales will now be entitled to the winter fuel payment - this does not apply to Scotland and Northern Ireland, where devolved policies are in place
- Pensioners with an income of £35,000 or less will receive the payment automatically this winter, with no need to complete extra paperwork
- The cost of this change is projected at £1.25bn - when our political editor Chris Mason asked the chancellor how this would be paid for, she said details would be announced later this year
- It's telling that we don't yet know where this money's coming from, the BBC's Faisal Islam said in some post-match analysis, adding that many pressures remain on the public finances.
- What did cross-party politicians have to say? Tory leader Kemi Badenoch called the U-turn "humiliating" and said the prime minister should apologise; the Greens' Carla Denyer said it was a "huge relief"; Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said the government had "finally realised how disastrous this policy was"
- Some charities have welcomed the change, while the think tank Institute for Fiscal Studies warned that parts of it are "messy" and could lead to more taxes
- Meanwhile, our readers have been sending in their opinions - with some saying it will "make a lot of difference" while others suggested the money should be spent elsewhere, such as the NHS or housing
