'Starmer's choices are selfish and are going to hurt working people and pensioners'

- Sam Lister

TORY leadership frontrunner Robert Jenrick has accused Sir Keir Starmer of targeting pensioners as he vowed to fight against more punishing cuts.

Speaking to the Express, the former minister blasted the Prime Minister for bunging cash to train drivers while taking the winter fuel allowance away from 10 million pensioners as bills go up.

In a wide-ranging interview, Mr Jenrick revealed his upbringing shaped his beliefs as well as his desire to restore "small-c" conservative values to the party and the country.

But he also took aim at the new Government for making "terrible" choices that will hurt older people.

He said: "I think Keir Starmer has declared war on pensioners and I'm going to fight that tooth and nail.

"He's chosen to give £8billion to a fantasy energy company run by Ed Miliband that doesn't even produce any energy.

"He's giving £10billion a year to his trade union paymasters.
