| UK PM Keir Starmer’s flagship welfare reform—tightening eligibility for Universal Credit and PIP to save £5 billion—has provoked deep opposition inside Labour. Over 120 MPs are rebelling, citing concerns the cuts will push hundreds of thousands into poverty. Starmer has offered concessions: freezing benefits for existing claimants, extra funding for employment support, and limiting changes to new claimants—while reaffirming he will press ahead with the vote. |
