Keir Starmer dramatically announced a climbdown on winter fuel allowance today as he struggles to revive Labour's fortunes.
Taking PMQs, Sir Keir defended the decision to strip nine million older people of the payments soon after taking power.
But he said 'as the economy improves' the government will look at the threshold for receiving the cash - worth up to £300.
He suggested the detail will only be announced at 'a future fiscal event' - with the next one the Autumn Budget. That typically happens in November or even December, raising doubts about whether the shift will happen for this winter.
Meanwhile, Sir Keir dodged on whether taxes might have to rise again to fund the volte face, after it emerged Angela Rayner has been pushing for more hikes on savers and the wealthy.
