LABOUR faces a conference clash on plans to axe the winter fuel payment as unions push to reverse the cut.

Unite, one of Labour's biggest union backers, and the CWU are seeking to force a vote today to save the payment for millions of pensioners.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced in the summer that she would strip the annual payment from more than 10 million pensioners as part of efforts to fix the mess the Tories made of the economy.
