John Swinney said his government will work very closely with citizens to "maximise eligibility for the winter fuel payment" in the wake of its scrapping by the UK Government. Sir Keir Starmer defended the decision, saying it was needed to repair a £22bn "hole" in the public finances. The Scottish Government said they had no choice but to follow suit. "We didn't want to take this decision - this decision was taken for us by the UK Government who abrutply, with very little notice, decided to end the provision for winter fuel payments," Mr Swinney said.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has defended the government's decision to cut the winter fuel allowance. Roughly 10 million pensioners are set to lose out on the £250 payment as the government restricts the benefit to only those receiving pension credit. "We had to take difficult decisions in very challenging circumstances because the previous government was overspending by £22bn just this year alone so we had to take action to get a grip on the public finances," Ms Reeves said.
