00:00You think that as a result of what Rachel Reeves is proposing, that some
00:04pensioners will die as a result?
00:06Yes, that's not me speaking. We had a meeting, a number of MPs, Labour MPs, had a
00:11meeting with the various agencies representing older people, Age UK, people
00:17like that. So we're talking about organisations of some standing in our society and
00:21they're saying that this is a real risk, that people will die as a result because
00:25we have these excess deaths in winter. I just think it's the wrong route to go down.
