TUC President Matt Wrack has issued a stark warning to Labour leader Keir Starmer, suggesting that cuts to the Winter Fuel Payment and austerity measures could fuel the rise of the far right and Nigel Farage's political momentum. In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Wrack highlighted the connection between recent far right riots and the growing support for Farage and Reform UK, urging Starmer to adopt policies that inspire hope rather than austerity. The warning comes amidst predictions of a vote on the Winter Fuel Payment, which critics argue benefits individuals who are not in need, potentially affecting pensioners across the UK.
