Yvette Cooper faces backlash from voter over mince pie distribution in West Yorkshire
Yvette Cooper faced criticism from a voter while handing out mince pies in Knottingley, West Yorkshire. The voter called her “two-faced” for not addressing issues like pensioner hardships and accused Labour of failing to support the elderly. The confrontation, recorded and shared online, highlighted discontent over Labour's decision to cut winter fuel payments for pensioners. The voter rejected Cooper's offers and expressed frustration over the government's migration policies and other political decisions. Cooper attempted to defend her actions, mentioning efforts to reduce asylum hotel use. However, the voter dismissed her comments, expressing a strong belief that Labour's policies are inadequate for the needs of the elderly.
