Labour is warning the Conservatives could "come for" benefits including free bus passes and TV licences after "breaking promises" on social care and announcing plans to means-test winter fuel payments.
Debbie Abrahams, the shadow work and pensions secretary, said the Conservatives had "plunged pensioners into insecurity".
She said they had "attempted to back away from their plans but only raised more questions about what they were going to do instead".
"Given the gaping hole in the Tory plans, and the dumping of their existing promises, the risk is now that the Tories could have other nasty surprises for pensioners up their sleeves.
"There’s a real possibility that other hard-earned benefits like bus passes and free TV licenses could be next.”
Quote MessageThe promises in the Tory manifesto are clearly no longer worth the paper they’re written on. So we are today calling for Theresa May to come clean, set out what exactly she’s planning and rule out definitively further attacks on pensioners’ living standards."
The Daily Mail's Stephen Glover has been speaking to Newsnight.

Finally and conspicuously, two newspapers choose not to mention Mrs May at all.
The Mirror chooses an unflattering image of Mrs May - or as it dubs her - Mrs U-turn, for its front page.
The top trending hashtag this evening is #bbcelection, with more than 31,000 tweets about Theresa May's performance in her BBC interview with Andrew Neil.
Some users have likened the encounter to a "car crash" while others have commented on her use of the term "fake claim" and the suggestion that Jeremy Corybn was trying to "sneak in the back door of Number 10".
