Summary
"Starmer Winter Fuel U-Turn: Too Little, Too Late"
#Starmer U-turn, #Winter Fuel Allowance, #Reform UK, #Nigel Farage
Rumours are swirling after Labour’s bruising losses to Reform UK in last week’s council elections. Is the government now preparing to U-turn on one of its most controversial policies — the massive cut to Winter Fuel Allowance for millions of pensioners?
Health Minister Wes Streeting admitted today that voters “aren’t happy,” revealing it was a major issue on the doorstep during the campaign. But Jon Gaunt asks: Is it too little, too late? More importantly, is Labour starting to look like "Reform Lite" — dancing to Farage’s tune out of panic?
Just ten months into office and Starmer’s team is already in retreat. That’s not a reset — that’s a crisis.
With Keir Starmer now the most unpopular Prime Minister on record, is this government already on the ropes? Could Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper — or even Starmer himself — be forced out? And is Nigel Farage a dead cert to be Britain’s next PM?

| 0:00.0 | Good afternoon. It's the John Gorn podcast. Let me ask you a question. Stama's winter fuel |
| 0:08.4 | U-turn. Is it too little, too late? A rumor swirling around Westminster today that Kier |
| 0:14.8 | Stama is going to do a U-turn on the most unpopular decision. He's got no choice. He had a kick in last week, didn't he, of reform? |
| 0:24.5 | What do you reckon? |
| 0:25.7 | Will he U-turn? |
| 0:26.8 | But what else should he U-turn on? |
| 0:29.6 | I want your opinion here on the John Gorn show. |
| 0:33.0 | Is this the beginning of the end for Starma? |
| 0:36.1 | They've only been in power, 10 months, 10 miserable |
| 0:40.0 | months. And it looks like they're already being forced into U-turns on the winter fuel allowance, |
| 0:45.9 | which everybody hates. West Street and the health minister says voters are very unhappy. No kidding, |
| 0:57.7 | Wes. But now the big question, is Stama's government actually collapsing? They're obviously infighting. People aren't happy. They're jostling |
| 1:03.7 | for position. Is it collapsing already? And if they do these U-turns, won't they just turn into reform light? Is Farage the next |
