Labour warned an insulation U-turn would risk voter fury

LABOUR has been warned it risks "another winter fuel payment disaster" if it backtracks on its home insulation pledge.

New polling found that 46% of Labour voters say any climbdown from the manifesto promise to spend an extra £6.6billion on insulating millions of houses would further reduce trust in the Government.

The figure increases to 56% among those who voted Labour at the last election but currently do not plan on backing them again, according to the Opinium research.
