Wes Streeting defends Labour's 'unpopular' policies

Wes Streeting has defended "unpopular" policies such as the cut to the winter fuel payment following Labour's poor performance in the local elections.

"Voters have sent us a very strong message which we're taking on the chin.

We know there have been some policies which have been unpopular whether it's national insurance or winter fuel among other things - that's how we're investing in the NHS," the health secretary added.
