A lot to wait and see if it is, plus what the new thinking is.

However whatever it is, a U turn, or change of heart or at last realisation that it was an obnoxious thing to even think of let alone do.

I'll however happily welcome the alteration to reverse it.

Although I personally still do not think that winter fuel payment should have ever been paid to ALL of pension age.
Millionaires and billionaires certainly don't need it and should never have got it.

U-turn or whatever, just change it, that's the right and good thing to do.
