Chancellor Rachel Reeves faced widespread criticism for a U-turn on winter fuel payments, restoring them to most pensioners after initial cuts. The decision, costing £1.5bn, sparked accusations of being "fuelish" and "humiliating." Meanwhile, Labour's £14bn investment in the Sizewell C nuclear plant dominated headlines, aiming to secure Britain's energy future and overshadow the fuel payment controversy.
