finding a mechanism to try and ration that [the winter fuel payment] is very difficult because our HMRC system will look at household incomes. These are the sorts of mechanics of government you’ve got to look at.

There wouldn't be a significant amount of child poverty if our benefits system was fit for purpose.

I suppose "more work is needed to solidify the youth vote" is one way of putting it, yes.
