Yvette Cooper faces backlash while handing out mince pies in West Yorkshire
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper faced criticism while handing out mince pies at a supermarket in Knottingley, West Yorkshire. A voter accused her of being "two-faced" for distributing treats while pensioners struggle with cold weather and reduced winter fuel payments. The confrontation highlighted public frustration over government policies, including Labour's decision to cut winter fuel payments and other issues. The voter rejected the mince pie and expressed disbelief at Cooper's actions, suggesting she should focus on helping the elderly instead. Cooper attempted to shift the conversation to festive cheer but was met with further criticism. The incident, captured on video, reflects ongoing tensions related to the cost of living crisis and government decisions.
