Britain’s Starmer Defends Welfare Spending Amid Party Tensions
Internal Labour rift emerges over budget priorities

Starmer defended the government’s spending plans as fiscally responsible, but critics warn that failure to expand welfare risks deepening poverty and undermining Labour’s social justice commitments.
