TODAY Labour conference will vote on the cut to winter fuel payments for pensioners — and, says Unite general secretary Sharon Graham, “it feels like a win already” to have got it onto the agenda.
The union had been battling behind the scenes to ensure its motion — which besides the winter fuel payment calls on Labour to drop the “fiscal rules” it has adopted from the Tories — got debated at all.
