The Independent is committed to impartial reporting on significant issues like reproductive rights and climate change, ensuring a fact-based narrative without paywalls. In the context of Labour dissent against Sir Keir Starmer's benefit cuts, a potential crisis looms as MPs may defy party lines due to economic and moral concerns over welfare proposals. The government may counter the expected rebellion with a child poverty strategy designed to appease dissenters, including funding support for parents, but could face substantial pushback.
We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Labour rebels are doubling down on their opposition to Sir Keir Starmer's benefit cuts despite ministers planning to offer spending on child poverty as a trade off.
