KEIR Starmer faces a showdown vote today over plans to cut the winter fuel allowance for 10 million pensioners.
As many as 50 MPs could take a stand against the move as union leaders urged the government to change course.
The Prime Minister will come under pressure from Labour's union backers when he addresses the TUC Congress in Brighton today, where workers are expected to grill him.
Delegates will vote on a motion condemning the cut shortly after Mr Starmer makes his keynote speech.
The PM will then return to Parliament for a crunch vote, where dozens of his own MPs are set to abstain.
Union leaders yesterday blasted the plan to scale back the payment so drastically it only applies to people receiving pension credit.
