Financial contributions help sustain on-ground reporting during critical moments in the U.S. Political leaders are failing to communicate effectively, leading to confusion regarding welfare spending. Labour MPs are concerned about the leadership of Sir Keir Starmer as issues arise in parliamentary debates. There exists a growing criticism of Starmer's political skills, highlighted by a recent rebellion from Labour MPs and the need to postpone discussions on disability reforms to avoid defeat.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
We are spending an extra 20bn on welfare [compared with the last government], we are not cutting it by 5bn but somehow everyone believes we are cutting it by 5bn, they said.
Ahead of a damaging rebellion by Labour MPs on an issue which has pitted the parliamentary party against its own leadership, the comments reflect a widespread criticism of Sir Keir and many of his ministers.
Nothing underlined the mess more than the dramatic late concession during the debate to postpone changes to disability reforms to try to stave off a humiliating defeat.
