"Starmer described the move to lift the two-child benefit cap as one of the proudest moments of his government, emphasizing its importance to child poverty campaigners and Labour MPs."
"Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, statutory sick pay becomes a right from day one of becoming ill, and workers will also be entitled to paternity and unpaid parental leave from the first day of employment."
Keir Starmer has highlighted new workers' rights coming into effect, including improved sick pay and parental leave, to criticize the Green party. He argues that a vote for Labour's rivals jeopardizes these advancements. Starmer claims Labour's economic strategy distinguishes it from other parties, asserting that no other party can match its credibility and political will. Key measures include lifting the two-child benefit cap, increasing state pensions, and establishing statutory sick pay from day one of illness. Labour aims to showcase these achievements amid upcoming local elections.
