Mims Davies MP speaks on Labour's U-turn on Winter Fuel Payments following the Official Opposition's Campaign

Thousands of people here in East Grinstead, Uckfield, and the villages backed the Conservative's campaign telling Keir Starmer to reverse the Winter Fuel cuts and his U-Turn means millions more people will receive the payment this winter – because we forced him to.

Last winter, pensioners suffered in the cold because Labour took away their Winter Fuel Payment, including thousands of vulnerable pensioners here in EGU. But thanks to local people backing this campaign, our neighbours won’t have to choose between eating or turning on their heating this winter. 

This result really matters - and not just to pensioners. 

Labour won a massive majority in Parliament just last year, but Keir Starmer still backed down. This shows that the Official Opposition – backed members of the public like you – can stand up against this government. 

While the other parties focus on themselves, the Conservative's are working with you, to protect millions of pensioners.

Mims Davies MP said:

Well as always it's been a busy Monday back in Westminster!

Last winter, pensioners suffered in the cold because Labour took away their Winter Fuel Payments. Now Keir Starmer has finally admitted what we all knew: he was wrong to cut them.

Thanks to local people backing our campaign as the official opposition, many of our neighbours here in East Grinstead, Uckfield, the villages, and the UK won’t have to choose between heating or eating this winter.

So please do share this video, check in on your elderly neighbours, family, and friends and ensure they know of this change from the government and apply for pension credit.

As the official opposition and Member of Parliament for East Grinstead, Uckfield, and the villages, I will continue to stand up for your voices and be your voice in Parliament representing your views.

I loved joining the Mid Sussex Science Week – and wow – its 10 years on from being part of the first one it continues to inspire. They’ve had 3000 students take part over the years, it was incredible work to meet one young person who was part of the journey 10 years ago now working in the sector.
