@skynews: In a major speech outside Downing Street, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says 'things will get worse before they get better' and that "unpopular decisions" must be made. Among those is the decision to scrap the winter fuel payment for some pensioners, which he says is "necessary to repair the public finances". He also says the October budget "will be painful" but that the country will have to accept "short-term pain for long-term good" 🔗 Tap link in bio for live updates #PrimeMinister #KeirStarmer #Budget #Politics #UKPolitics #Budget #Government #Labour #UKNews #SkyNews
