Cabinet ministers were branded ‘hypocrites’ last night for claiming soaring amounts on expenses to heat their second homes while stripping ten million pensioners of their winter fuel payments. Eleven of Sir Keir Starmer‘s Cabinet have relied on taxpayer-funded help to pay their energy bills, analysis of expenses receipts reveals, with the amount they claimed soaring by 75 per cent over three years. Critics last night said it ‘wasn’t a good look’ amid warnings that hundreds of thousands of pensioners will be forced to choose between ‘heating or eating’ because of Labour’s overhaul. Among the claimants was Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who announced last month that she was axing cold-weather payments for millions. She said it was necessary to help plug a £22 billion ‘black hole’ in the public finances she claims was left behind by the Tories.

In 2021-22, Ms Reeves claimed £382 for help towards paying the energy bills at her second home. This shot up to £1,186 last year. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall, whose department is responsible for denying elderly people the fuel payments, claimed £1,284 towards her energy bills in 2021-22, and £2,400 last year. Energy Secretary Ed Milliband’s claims also shot up from £650 to £1,100, while Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson’s surged from £1,052 to £1,896. In total, the 11 Cabinet ministers claimed £7,187 towards their gas and electricity bills in 2021-22, which soared to £12,620 for the first three-quarters of last year. Baroness Altmann, a former pensions minister in David Cameron’s government, said: ‘It makes you want to weep. It almost beggars belief that ministers don’t seem to realise how many millions of people in this country who are elderly are struggling to make ends meet.

They can claim money towards the cost of having a property near Westminster, including council tax and utilities. Tory energy spokesman Claire Coutinho said: ‘The Chancellor has made a choice to axe winter fuel payments for vulnerable pensioners whilst delivering inflation-busting pay rises demanded by her union paymasters and refusing to clamp down on the welfare bill’ There is no suggestion that those who have made claims have broken any rules. It came amid reports yesterday that Ms Reeves is refusing to publish a report into the impact of scrapping the winter payments. Impact assessments are routinely published when governments cut benefits, but Ms Reeves is ruling out releasing the findings – or even confirming if or when an investigation was carried out, the Sunday Express reported. Tory energy spokesman Claire Coutinho said: ‘The Chancellor has made a choice to axe winter fuel payments for vulnerable pensioners whilst delivering inflation-busting pay rises demanded by her union paymasters and refusing to clamp down on the welfare bill.’ She demanded that Ms Reeves ‘come clean’ and admit exactly how many pensioners will suffer. Tory MP Dr Caroline Johnson added: ‘Cold homes are associated with excess winter deaths. The pension credit thresholds are low. If elderly people cannot afford to heat their homes they are at increased risk of becoming ill.’ Pensioners face more misery after experts at the Cornwall Insight consultancy said they believe energy bills will jump by as much as £150 this winter. They think the energy price cap will be hiked by as much as 10 per cent, from the current level of £1,568 for a ‘typical’ household, when the regulator Ofgem reviews it this week. Adam Scorer, boss of fuel poverty charity National Energy Action, said: ‘If these alarming estimates are confirmed by Ofgem on Friday, energy bills and energy debt will stretch household finances beyond breaking point.’ A Labour spokesman said: ‘The accommodation costs budget is designed to meet costs incurred by MPs as a result of working from two permanent locations. MPs of all parties are entitled to this, and they continue paying their utility bills for their own homes like everyone else.’H
