Labour MPs are increasingly rebelling against a £5 billion welfare cut proposed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government, which they argue could severely impact disabled individuals and their families. A letter signed by 42 MPs highlights the urgency for delaying the cuts until the ramifications on employment and health are assessed. With rising discontent within Labour following recent local election losses, the MPs emphasized that the proposed cuts represent a significant attack on the welfare system and called for a shift in strategy to effectively address the benefits system's inherent issues.
The planned cuts represent the biggest attack on the welfare state since George Osborne ushered in the years of austerity and will affect over three million of our poorest.
While the government diagnosed the problem of a broken benefits system, their proposed solution through cuts will only cause more hardship rather than creating jobs.
