Miliband defends winter fuel payment U-turn

Labour leader Ed Miliband defends the U-turn on winter fuel payment, stating it will cost a small amount and be included in the Budget. The revised policy will extend the payment to nine million pensioners in England and Wales with annual income of £35,000 or less. Despite criticisms, the government argues the change will not lead to additional borrowing and aims to ensure the wealthiest pensioners do not receive the payment.
