Prime Minister Starmer Faces Internal Opposition Over Welfare Reform Plans

Prime Minister Keir Starmer is confronting significant internal opposition within the Labour Party over proposed welfare reforms, particularly plans to cut disability benefits.

The reforms aim to reduce welfare spending by £5 billion annually but have raised concerns about their impact on vulnerable populations.

Over 160 Labour MPs have expressed reservations, with some threatening to vote against the measures.

Despite the dissent, Starmer remains committed to the reforms, emphasizing the need for a sustainable and fair welfare system.
