Never mind the spending review coming up on Wednesday, the government has already delivered a big headline for the week with its winter fuel payments U-turn.
Here are the main things you need to know:
- Millions more people will get the winter fuel payment this year, after the criteria was expanded to all pensioners in England and Wales with a household income of 拢35,000 or less;
- It'll be 拢200 for most, 拢300 for homes with someone over 80, and all pensioners will get it automatically - those above the threshold will then have the cash recovered by HMRC;
- The change will see the number of people who get the payment rise from approximately 1.5 million last year to nine million;
- Rachel Reeves claimed an improving economic picture meant she could expand the benefit, but the specifics on how it'll be paid for won't be made clear until the budget later this year.
- Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said the prime minister should apologise to pensioners who lost out last year, while Lib Dem chief Ed Davey said the initial cuts had been "disastrous";
- The U-turn has also been welcomed by Reform's Nigel Farage, the SNP, and charities like Age UK;
- But our deputy political editor Sam Coates said it had caused damage to the chancellor's credibility, and our political correspondent Liz Bates said the change represented a "huge, huge U-turn".
We'll have more reaction and analysis following the winter fuel announcement throughout the afternoon - and you can watch a Commons statement on the changes from around 4.30pm.
Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge will no doubt be dominated by the changes - you can watch live at 7pm.
