The Independent's latest reporting emphasizes the significant backlash against Sir Keir Starmer's welfare reforms, particularly the proposed cuts to disability benefits. Critics, including MPs and campaigners, have condemned these reforms as disastrous for the vulnerable, warning that they could push 250,000 people, including children, into poverty. The tightening of eligibility for the personal independence payment (PIP) and cuts to universal credit threatens essential financial support for many disabled individuals, reflecting broader concerns about the government’s welfare policies during this pivotal moment in U.S. and U.K. socio-economic history.
Sir Keir Starmer faces his gravest backbench rebellion over welfare reforms aimed at cutting disability benefits, which critics label as harmful and potentially disastrous.
The proposed changes to the personal independence payment threaten to deny up to 800,000 people, including vulnerable children, essential financial support amidst a growing poverty crisis.
