KEIR Starmer yesterday faced calls to reveal how many pensioners could die as a result of the cut to winter fuel payments.
The Prime Minister was confronted over the controversial decision to axe the allowance - worth up to £300 - for 10 million pensioners.
Tory leader Rishi Sunak accused him of "hiding" internal government analysis on the impact of the move.
It comes after MPs backed plans to means-test the payments on Tuesday, in spite of a rebellion by backbenchers.
Mr Starmer faced shouts of "shame" at Prime Minister's Questions as he was grilled over the move, but pointed out Tories including Kemi Badenoch had also called for the same thing.
