GMB's Susanna Reid rages 'stop' as Diana Johnson crumbles in furious winter fuel row

Susanna Reid issued a stern demand to Dame Diana Johnson over the decision to cut winter fuel payments. Last month, the Labour government announced the universal payment to pensioners, worth between £100 and £300 a year, would be restricted to just those who receive pension credit. The change will mean more than 10 million pensioners will no longer receive the payment, which will now only be made to those on low incomes who receive certain benefits.

Johnson appeared on Monday's instalment (September 9) of Good Morning Britain , hosted by Susanna and Ed Balls . The 53-year-old fumed over the decision to scrap the income from the poorest pensioners. The Labour MP repeatedly explained how it was a "difficult" decision for the government to make, however they had no choice due to the actions of the previous government.
