Ex-pensions minister in blast at Reeves

- By Steph Spyro

FORMER pensions minister Baroness Altmann has claimed OAPs are “at the bottom of the Government's policy priority list”.

She took aim at Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s axing of the winter fuel payment.

Writing in the Express, she said: “For some time, it has seemed that pensioners are at the bottom of the Government's policy priority list.

“Constantly taking money from pensioners in our aging population is a stain on our country.”
