Conservative leadership candidate condemns winter fuel cuts

Leadership candidate Tom Tugendhat has condemned the government's refusal to reverse the winter fuel payment cut for pensioners after facing a growing backlash.

Sir Keir Starmer warned of a "hard path ahead" in his first speech as prime minister at the Labour conference in Liverpool.

"What they've done is they've decided to take money from vulnerable pensioners and give it to the union paymasters.

That's a decision and that's a choice that this Labour government has made," Mr Tugendhat said.

Ed Miliband said he does not regret blocking UK intervention in Syria when he was Labour leader after Wes Streeting suggested the UK’s “hesitation” allowed the Assad regime to last for longer. The two senior Cabinet ministers have expressed differing views on the Commons vote on the principle of UK military action in Syria in 2013.
