Keir Starmer is currently focused on complex political issues involving the US, particularly regarding the Ukraine situation and trade tariffs. While potential ceasefire terms between the US and Ukraine signal a positive development, Starmer faces backlash from proposed cuts to disability benefits that have stirred discontent among government MPs. Union leaders criticize these cuts as detrimental to public welfare, drawing on lessons learned from past austerity measures. Starmer's response to Trump's government is under scrutiny, as Labour MPs support his approach, while discontent looms over domestic policy decisions.
A major lesson from the Tory years is that austerity damaged the nation's health. We must not make the same mistake again. Pushing disabled people into hardship with cuts to support will only make the current challenges worse and will not win public support.
Much of Keir Starmer's time at the moment is spent dealing with the latest outbursts from the White House. This morning there are developments on the two issues at the top of Starmer's in-tray.
