The Government need to really explain this to people properly. Do not say all this about tough decisions—all decisions are tough. We have to be absolutely clear exactly why the cut-off point was chosen in the way that it was and, as previous speakers have said, let us find out who we have left out. Who are the most vulnerable people we have left out after this decision? Let us get to work very quickly to compensate those people and tell them that they will be protected this winter. It is already September and we have to do something quickly before it gets worse.
