Today we look at a U‑turn from the government after Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans to ease cuts to winter fuel payments. More than 10 million pensioners lost out on payments worth up to £300 when the pension top‑up became means‑tested last year. Adam and Chris Mason discuss with Starmer’s former political director Luke Sullivan. Also, England will be the first country in the world to start vaccinating people against the STI gonorrhoea, and Health and Science Correspondent James Gallagher explains what’s going on.
