This week presents a critical juncture for Keir Starmer and the Labour party, as welfare cuts are set to impact millions. Despite having the parliamentary numbers to push reforms, the anguished response of Labour MPs reflects the moral dilemma involved in adapting welfare policies. The struggle stems from the government's attempts to reconcile financial savings with the complex needs of disabled voters, as internal battles delay clear communication and decision-making, leaving constituents in uncertainty about their future.
This week may come to be the moment when Keir Starmer's reputation as the hard man of the Labour party was tested to its limits.
When Starmer speaks to Labour MPs, they speak of the disturbing phenomenon of growing numbers of young people too sick to work.
